Fantastic Stay!

The room was really clean! Fresh milk was available in the fridge, complementing the tea and coffee facilities. The breakfast menu presented quality options. I found the service perfect.
The food was superb, but some children played unattended in the restaurant area. This slightly impacted the dining atmosphere

Really good Stay Near Skipton

spacious roomcomfy bedrelaxing atmosphere
The room (Beckside 3) was spacious and clean. The comfortable bed ensured a restful night. The outdoor area by the beck provided a relaxing atmosphere. I enjoyed the excellent evening meal though the table location wasn't ideal (a minor detail).
The gravy came in a very small gravy boat.

The room temperature wasn't ideal. It took some time to adjust it to a warmer setting. this small issue slightly detracted from the overall experience. i hope they can improve it!
