Great bed, extra pillows. Good breakfast, wish it was longer. They were pretty busy so I didn’t feel right bothering them for the WiFi password, maybe they should put it in the rooms?

Good hotel for short stay

Pub with rooms in a good location if travelling by bus, short walk from bus station. Friendly staff, good breakfast choice. Room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Bathroom small with modern facilities. Access to rooms via stairwell, no lift.

Great time at the Railway

Hotel was small and compact. Everything about it was great. The breakfast chef made the effort to get to know our breakfast order and was able to remember this throughout our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was compact but contained everything we needed. The pub was lovely and welcoming.

The Railway was in a great location. Check in was smooth but little information given apart from access and breakfast between 8 & 9am which felt too early, especially as we were away for a relaxing trip. The room was basic and very dated. The bathroom was tatty but clean. The bedroom was very small and the bed incredibly uncomfortable where we could feel the springs. Checkout was 10am which we were not told about so we googled it and it said 11am, however we were called to say check out was actually 10am. Breakfast was mediocre and a long wait. We wouldn’t return but did enjoy Skipton.
