    Unfortunately we found the mattress to be very hard for us, but we do like a soft bed. The shower took quite some time to get the water hot and they have a step mid way across the bathroom which you have to remember is there. The only other thing which would be very useful to have, would be instructions for the coffee maker - a lovely touch to have in your room, but frustrating if its different to the one you are used to.

    Herriots is a lovely hotel with a family run atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the bar area and restaurant very nice, clean and had a lovely ambience. We had a room in the older part of the house; the hotel is an big old house with an additional newer area built on behind. The room was very large with beautiful old fashioned furniture in keeping with the hotel and a four poster bed. The bathroom had a deep modern tub with shower above and look very smart and luxurious. We didn't eat dinner there, but breakfast was really good, with a nice selection of cereals, jams, and croissants in the help yourself continental area and the cooked breakfast was amazing with great quality food and well presented.

    As a solo traveller I was very pleasantly surprised with my room and felt at ease during my stay.

    The bar area perhaps a bit more colourful

    Single rooms are usually notoriously small and cramped, this was not. Loved the balcony overlooking the canal. Felt valued as a solo traveller. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, very important for a sole traveller. Food was excellent. Location for the station and village, excellent.

    No lift so carrying suitcase up three flights was a bit strenuous - especially after my heart operation! Toilet was falling off the wall so it was a bit precarious. Was reported when we left so hopefully fixed by now

    We had afternoon tea with Prosecco - it was really enjoyable and not rushed. Location is excellent - just a short walk into town. In fact it is just opposite the station so very handy for travel. Car park gets busy so get there early! Breakfast was good - plenty of choice and freshly cooked. Evening meal was good too - good choice and excellent service.

    Our room was just across a small court yard from the function room, which had a function on every night and as the weather was nice alot of people were outside and you could clearly hear the music which was disturbing late in the evening.

    It was close to town which was just a walk along the canal. The hotel from the outside looked well presented and inside was clean and the staff were friendly

    The room was a little too warm for my liking even with the radiator turned off. The windows could be easily opened though. Leaving them open all day did reduce the temperature to comfortable levels for sleeping. One quite serious annoyance was a clicking noise made by some invisible heating pipes somewhere close to the room. In spite of both the room radiator and corridor radiators being turned off this clicking, which was certainly audible, occurred for say two minute intervals, periodically, all through the night.

    The location, in sight of the train station, only a 10 to 15 minute walk from the town-centre and very close to a large Morrisons was excellent. The breakfast was varied, although did not include the option of porridge. The en suite bathroom was nice, especially the easily controlled hot shower with more than adequate water-pressure.

    The room allocated to us clearly should have been a single not double. It had tiny single wardrobe and no space in the room or bathroom to put anything. We asked to be moved and were delighted with our larger room. The wedding took over the brand restaurant but we enjoyed going out instead.

    Staff were very helpful especially Rita who went out of her way to find us a quieter table in the restaurant and gave us helpful advice when looking for a nice place for a meal in town. She looked out for us.

    Piped music in main areas fine, allowed conversation, but the underlying base could be heard in our bedroom. Surely music without base could be found. This would keep everyone happy. Extractor fan running all night from we think the kitchen area.

    Great location for the centre of Skipton. Cosy hotel with nice bar and resturant area. Good size car park

    There were a few aspects that detracted from my experience. Firstly, the noise from the circuit breaker panel made it difficult to sleep soundly. Additionally, the thin walls meant that I could easily hear my neighbours, which disrupted my peace and quiet. The mattress on the single bed felt quite springy and uncomfortable. Lastly, the loose door handle was a minor inconvenience. Overall, these factors made my stay less enjoyable.

    My experience at the hotel was fantastic. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free, and the receptionists were incredibly friendly. I loved the views of the canal from the rear of the hotel - it added such a lovely touch to the stay. Parking was convenient, and being close to town made exploring easy. The room was well-equipped with complimentary toiletries, and the hot cooked breakfast options were delicious and satisfying. Overall, it was a delightful stay!

    Self service options a bit spread out. Didn't realise just what was available, even with my cooked breakfast that I odered. Could have been made clearer on the menu.

    Good service for orders, decent range of hot meals and also for self-service options.

    We were warned that they were a popular wedding venue but why put us in rooms above the disco when wedding guests (who were obviously at the occasion) were in quieter parts of the hotel?

    Good location with parking & 5min canal side walk into centre.

    We dined in the restaurant on the first evening and were sadly disappointed with the food served to us. The chef was a little heavy-handed with the seasoning which spoilt what could have been a lovely meal.

    Lovely hotel, opposite the railway station, so ideal for our needs. We booked a two-night stay. We were originally offered a beautiful room, but unfortunately, the roll-top bath in the bathroom was a no-no in terms of getting in and out of the shower safely. The staff were very accommodating and changed us to a room with a shower cubicle. Nice, clean room overlooking the canal. Excellent breakfast both mornings with a lovely selection of hot food and the standard Continental breakfast items. The staff were both friendly and helpful.

    Not enough hanging space in the wardrobe. Bathroom wasn't good didn't like the fact that to get to the toilet it was behind the door, very small bathroom, toilet didn't flush well and sink water backed up. There was definitely a problem with plumbing!!! Room 16 needs checking out. I would not stay again unless other rooms were bigger Nd much better.

    Very convenient for town centre.
