Everything was perfect, shown to our room that was spotlessly clean, well maintained and had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable, fresh milk in a cooling jug was brought straight from the fridge for our coffee in the morning. The staff were extremely helpful. The cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious. Everything was perfect for our stay and would definitely use again. Thank you x

Fantastic location - a 5 minute walk from the railway station. Minutes walk to Skipton Town Centre. I have had a wonderful ×3 nights stay at The Railway Inn. Highly recommend. Lovely friendly staff, I felt very welcome -which is much appreciated as a solo traveller. Lovely warm, spotlessly clean ensuite room @number 3. Delicious home cooked food! Thankyou!
