Great time at the Railway

Hotel was small and compact. Everything about it was great. The breakfast chef made the effort to get to know our breakfast order and was able to remember this throughout our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was compact but contained everything we needed. The pub was lovely and welcoming.

The Railway was in a great location. Check in was smooth but little information given apart from access and breakfast between 8 & 9am which felt too early, especially as we were away for a relaxing trip. The room was basic and very dated. The bathroom was tatty but clean. The bedroom was very small and the bed incredibly uncomfortable where we could feel the springs. Checkout was 10am which we were not told about so we googled it and it said 11am, however we were called to say check out was actually 10am. Breakfast was mediocre and a long wait. We wouldn’t return but did enjoy Skipton.

Lovely hosts but noisy room above where beer was delivered very early in the morning! Couldn’t understand why we wern’t in a quieter room on the other side of the pub as there were empty rooms? Very kind chef made us a packed breakfast thank you.

Family break away

Everything about our stay was perfect. We had a cot ready when we arrived for our little one. The room was warm and spacious. We ate dinner the night before and the steaks were wonderful. The staff are all so friendly and can't do enough to help. We had a delicious breakfast before we left too!

Nice place but a bit tired

This is still a nice place to stay, however it's starting to look a little bit tired. The carpets could do with a really good clean and the window in our bedroom didn't shut properly which would have been okay in summer but it was very cold. Breakfast was very good and the bar is comfortable.

Clean, spacious and nicely decorated room. The Railway is excellent if you are using public transport as it is 10 minutes from the train station and 5 minutes to the bus station and town. The breakfast was very good and freshly cooked to order

This was an older property above a kitchen and attached restaurant. The property was nice but there were some smells from the kitchen that permeated the room. The food was excellent.

Check in was quick & very professional. The carpet leading to the rooms and in the rooms is very tired and dirty. The room was a really good size with a beautiful clean bed. Bathroom is also a good size. Breakfast was cooked to order. Yoghurt & fruit would be a good choice too.
