Craven Heifer

8/10 Good

"Lovely place to stay with stunning views, for the price we paid we couldn’t fault the accomadtion but the continental breakfast was chaos even tho it was quiet, very nice man tho 😁"

Herriots

10/10 Excellent

"Great food, friendly staff, location was ideal, lovely hotel, will definitely return, highly recommend a stay when in Skipton."

The Woolly Sheep Inn

8/10 Good

"We stayed for 3 nights. The Inn is in a great central location, a few steps from the town centre. 5 min walk to the Skipton Castle. 2 min walk to the bus stop where you can get the local bus to take you to various beautiful spots in the Yorkshire Dales, if you are not driving like us. The Inn was very clean. Although our room was very small we had Comfortable bed. The room could use a chair to sit on instead of having to sit on the bed when in the room. The breakfast was good and plentiful. Did miss some freshly baked goods. Overall good. Would stay again in the future."

Lister Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous place to stay with your four legged friend. Wonderful rooms, fabulous staff and super doggie friendly"

The Black Horse Hotel Grassington

10/10 Excellent

"The room was immaculate, staff were lovely and friendly and so helpful. The food was hot tasty and such good value for money. Will absolutely be back. Thank you for making us so welcome"

The Railway

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely easy to locate the hotel using the postcode given. We arrived in Skipton rather early and parked in the long stay car park round the back which is £8.10 for 9 hours but free from 6pm- 9am. There is free parking on the side road next to the hotel if you're lucky enough to secure a space. We had a lovely walk round Skipton centre - it's full of independent shops selling gifts, coffee, cakes and fish to name but a few. Great to see also lots of little pubs and banks/ building societies still going strong. We were able to check in earlier than 3pm and our room ( number 2) was absolutely perfect for our overnight comfort. Our curry cruise that evening was super but it was surpassed by the amazing full english breakfast at The Railway. We look forward to our next visit to Skipton and another stay in this lovely inn. Thankyou ❤️"

Grassington Lodge
