Great Location
We know the Hotel well as both originate from Skipton and remember it remember it being built. It’s showing its age; food and service was great. Disappointing bar if you like beer and not lager. All draught beers were off. Bed while massive I found hard and uncomfortable but that isn’t a reason not to stay. We were visiting family and it did the job. If you’re taking a dog make sure message from respective website has gone through. Ours didn’t but the staff managed to swap things round to ensure we had a did friendly room

Not great
It started off with check in at 4. Our room wasn’t ready until 5:40. So we had to wait with a toddler for nearly 2 hours. (We did get a free drink voucher each for the inconvenience) When we got into the room, there were footprints on the couch and some kind of dried spillage on the floor. On top of that, there was only 1 bed in the room despite booking for 2 adults and 1 child. The sleep through the night was horrific, I can only compare it to trying to sleep in the Australian outback at the height of summer. I had to open the sliding doors into the car park at 1AM and cool the room down so my son could sleep. One of these things wasn’t too bad, it was the fact they all happened. I could nitpick at other things too, but there’s no point. The staff were as helpful as they could be in their situation.

I won’t stay at this hotel on a Saturday again. The live entertainment was spoilt by two drunken couples causing a nuisance, other guests complained and left the bar area. They were still served alcohol even when their behaviour was unacceptable and I don’t appreciate being near someone vaping in a bar area, we drank up and left
