Booked an executive "suite" .... room was uttetly souless, very limited facilities, nothing you would expect at the price level paid, not even bottled water. Grubby carpet, cheap plastic furniture, small buzzing empty fridge. View was the side of a coach on one side and a busy main road at the front. Had been away for 3 nights in Yorkshire staying at hotels in standard rooms that were a hundred times nicer and a third less expensive So uninspiring decided to just leave and drive home. Im sure if the room was overlooking the canal and better furnished, the hotel may be ok. Guess couldve complained but no one on reception and tbh couldnt be bothered. Ultimately beware the pictures on the expedia site compared to what you get!

Great hotel staff - it made our stay!

Staff were great and so helpful. We arrived in the early hours but the staff had checked us in and the night porter was there to meet us. Superb service and greatly appreciated. While the hotel is a little dated it was clean and the breakfast was excellent.

Yorkshire Break

We had wonderful break after not going anywhere at all for 10 months. Hotel lovely and so accommodating. Asked for room near lift and they placed us so well close to lift and restaurant as I have mobility issues at the moment. Would highly recommend as wonderful views of scenery.

Disappointing, given previous experience.

Good location and good-size rooms. Breakfast very good. Stayed here several times before. This time the room with a canal-side view had one small window, with a faulty blind. The room had emergency lighting with an excessively bright green light which made a good night's sleep impossible.

Ideal location for Skipton, or walking the town path. Public spaces are lovely, our room was a bit tired though. Noisy in the early hours...not sure what. It sounded like fans going on and off. Ate at the bar one night which was ok. Breakfast was lovely, eating with a canal view.
