The hotel is undergoing renovation work but it didn’t spoil our stay - the staff were so helpful and kind as we were staying to attend a family funeral. We had a lovely room overlooking the canal at a good price which was fortunate for our family as we needed 4 rooms. The hotel is about a Mile out of skipton overlooking the canal and countryside. Breakfast is temporarily being served upstairs while the restaurant is refurbished- it was buffet style and nice and hot and good value . Overall really pleased with our stay 👍😊

The location on the canal and picturesque countryside made a beautiful setting for dining in the conservatory. The food was consistently very good, the staff friendly and I enjoyed using the pool.
