Weekend visit
Pros:

This is our third stay but disappointed. Superior room was dark and needed some work. Check in not great being at the bar and no matter where you stand with luggage behind others you block the bar/seats/corridor to the outside.
Breakfast average.
Plenty of parking. Good location.

We had a great first stay in Skipton at a superb hotel in a fantastic location.
Pros:

We booked a canal side twin room and paid extra for early as we had booked a canal boat trip (which was brilliant). The room and facilities were excellent although on the morning of our departure the lift was not working. The room was spotless and the view over the canal was superb. Breakfast was included and was excellent. We would (and probably will) stay here again.

Cons:

As this was our first time in Skipton and not knowing the area, we booked an evening meal in the Rhubarb restaurant which was quite disappointing, we saw the menu before and it looked very good however the quality was not so good - my venison was quite tough. We did get a reduction off our final bill.

Don’t take room number 4 in the old part of the hotel above the kitchen
Pros:

My Grandparents came to stay for 4 nights. The room was sat above the kitchen and constantly smelt of food, the kitchen door was being slammed from 7am-10pm all day and they couldn’t sleep. The rooms floor was stained and the bathroom was so small they had to manoeuvre to move round the door.

Staff were polite but for the price the rooms floor was unacceptable .

Fantastic experience 👍
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Herriots Hotel in Skipton. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The food was excellent, with great choice at breakfast. And the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout, providing outstanding service and making us feel at home. The hotel’s location is perfect, just a short walk to Skipton town center and the railway station. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d happily stay here again.

Urinals so smelly!
Pros:

Gents Toilets so wiffy facing the open door to the kitchen! Put us off both dining and using the facilities! Urinals in such an upmarket and expensive venue we decided to eat in Morrisons!
