On the outskirts of Skipton, in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, this charming, family-run hotel features a wonderful canal-side restaurant, great recreational facilities and idyllic views of the Leeds and Liverpool canal. Skipton is a delightful traditional market town and is known as the Gateway to the Dales. On the banks of the canal, surrounded by the beautiful Yorkshire dales and within easy reach of York and Harrogate, the hotel provides the best of traditional Yorkshire hospitality and good accommodations.
