    Nothing really, apart from finding a place to park. You have to get lucky to park outside pub, limited parking. There is a Tesco opposite with free parking for 2 hours or all day parking for £6 a little down road from pub.

    Location was perfect, just a short walk to town center. Breakfast was great and staff were very friendly and helpful. The Railway is in a great place if you want peace and quiet as its away from the centre of town.

    Wifi password for upstairs written down somewhere would be handy. Staff were helpful with the bar wifi but didn't know the password for the rooms

    Lovely village style pub. Food looked beautiful, breakfast good. Lovely big bed. Very clean room. Lady behind the bar (julie i think) extremely pleasant and welcoming. Shower gel and shampo

    Lovely Little Hotel/Pub with Lovely Staff, but No Parking, nor Wifi in my Room

    This hotel came up when I entered 'Car Parking' in the search, but there isn't any, the only option is literally on the streets near the pub and only after 6pm, which was an annoying situation when I got there as I then had to drive round and round looking for somewhere. My only other gripe, which was really annoying also, was despite having a WiFi Booster in my room, I basically had no WiFi whatsoever, which meant I could do no work at all, and I rely on hotels having signal so I can catch up on the day's messages, this was compounded by the fact my team were on TV in a massively important game, and I could get it on my Tablet due to the above either.

    The staff were lovely, the room was a really good standard, although, as with most places I stay, the shower head was iffy. The food was a really good standard, that was the evening menu as well as breakfast, and it was value for money too (I was there on Steak Night, and it was the nicest I've had in a while). The breakfast in the morning was the best I'd had in a long time too, and the lady serving was really friendly and chatty also.

    The property was advertised with private parking on booking.com but this was not the case, parking was available to the side of the property but was on a first come basis.

    The location was very good with just a stroll into town, the propert was on the same road as our favourite restaurant which was a bonus.

    Lovely, friendly pub with pleasant and helpful staff. The location is perfect for a night out in Skipton. Breakfast was good and we will probably eat at the pub next time we stay as it seemed very popular for food, with a yummy looking specials board.

    I think maybe in the summer a small fridge would be a big help but I also suspect that the staff would be more than happy to store anything you think needs to be kept chilled in any case.

    A nice warm welcome. The room, a single one, was pretty standard and did included a chair. I accidentally popped the drain cover off in the shower stall and even an area that no one would check it was spotless! So if the cleaner they use goes out of their way to even ensure the shower drain is spotless then you can guarantee the bedding, towels, room etc are equally as spotless. This is a small hotel/pub/restaurant which seems to be quite popular but I didn't hear any excessive noise as I don't think it attracts a rowdy crowd more like locals for a meal and a drink. I didn't try any of the evening meals but they do look really tempting. A lovely cooked breakfast and you do get a choice. Dining room even on the tables that weren't laid out for guests still had fresh flowers on them, a nice view out of the window and even the window boxes were in full bloom. Really nice attention to details. Perfect location for both the train station, Morrisons, Tesco etc and the town centre. Internet worked perfectly. You can get inside either through the pub or the locked side door. The fob key for that door works well and so did the room key. I would like to say that right next door is a tiny theatre called "Skipton Little Theatre" and I think it sits around 100 people, I went to see a performance and it was just such a nice atmosphere so check that out to see if there is anything on when you stay,

    Warm greeting with a quick check in and showing to our room. Staff were consistently friendly and attentive. Room had a large comfortable bed with a good sized ensuite. Everything was clean and stocked appropriately. Facilities were good for the price. We also ate there and that really made the experience so I highly recommend it! The Sunday roast was incredible. They also kept our bag secure in the office on our leaving day while we went on a canal boat tour before leaving for home, incredibly thoughtful! Will stay again.

    No parking with pub, but managed to find free roadside parking close by.

    It was a quirky traditional pub situated on a 'y' junction of two roads, the pub being triangular shaped, with aspects onto both roads. The roads were not unduly busy. It was close to the main shopping area and market of Skipton, castle, canal, cinema, bus and Train stations all in easy walking distances. All staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast available from 6am-9am. Good menu options. And all good quality. Comfortable beds, en-suite.

    Lack of parking facilities but that probably applies across all central Skipton locations!

    Excellent breakfast and all very friendly staff. I will go back to the venue again!
