Ideal for our group of 12+1, plenty of space, great dining room where we could all eat and chat, good combination of double and twin bedrooms. Tesco literally round the corner, only a short walk to town & canal. Parking was fine, price was good , kitchen and lounge area plenty big enough Ideal

We had a couple of minor issues, which we dealt with quickly. Skipton itself is lovely, and we want to go back to the area again, as there is so much more to see.
