Book a North Yorkshire Cottage

"Stayed here many times. Room clean, and tidy. All the staff I had conversations with were friendly and helpful. If I was being picky the only slight negative is the narrow car parking spaces."

"It’s a shame. Such a beautiful, classic building and the Britannia group skimping on the most basic things, and milking the nostalgic place for every penny they can get before moving on. Sea view room was worthless with the months of not years of grime and dirt on the windows. Carpets that may never have known true modern amenities such as vacuum cleaners… just so sad. "

"Great location, friendly staff, nice old building. Great value for money, enjoyed our stay there."

"Lovely clean room and comfy bed. Helpful staff and spacious rooms."

" Freindly staff "

"Great place to stay. Friendly staff - breakfast choice great - evening meals very good. Rooms clean and a great tea/coffee tray in room."

"Internet was ok didn't use the hotel pool what staff we saw were ok."

"We have stayed at the Skipton hotel on a number of occasions and always felt that it was good value for money. There has been some improvements to the property in particular the restaurant. Unfortunately there has been a deterioration in the breakfast!! The coffee served from a heated urn was not hot and when I remarked on this the waitress lifted the lid and remarked well there was steam! The breakfast area was rather cramped which made serving yourself difficult and again the hot breakfast was not hot. Even the eggs fresh from the kitchen were only luke warm. We were very disappointed with our experience and since on this occasion we had to pay extra for breakfast, I don’t think we will be venturing to the Skipton hotel again. "

"I stay in hotels around six times a month, and I can honestly say this was one of the poorest experiences I’ve had in a long time. In the restaurant, every steak dish on the menu was unavailable, and the only real alternative offered was a burger. When the food arrived, I asked for condiments — they never appeared. The place was quiet, yet no one made eye contact or checked in, despite me being seated right beside the bar. I eventually ordered dessert, waited 15 minutes, and had to chase it up. Seconds after I asked, it suddenly appeared, clearly forgotten about. To top it off, a service charge was added automatically, which felt completely undeserved. The room wasn’t much better. I was woken just after 6am by the shower in the next room — unbelievably loud, far beyond anything I’ve ever heard in a hotel. At checkout, I was told I had an £18 parking charge. When I questioned it, I was told it had “nothing to do with them” because it was a third‑party company, despite the hotel collecting the payment. Not exactly taking ownership of the guest experience. Overall, the hotel trades on its name, not its standards. Very poor"
