    I thought breakfast was included in price. It was a bit to far away from Skipton Town.

    Staff were helpful and friendly. Room was clean and comfy. Food was lovely.

    ? remember its not advertised as 5 star .

    The very welcoming and friendly Staff. Dog friendly. a great pub atmosphere on the evening we stayed. The choice of breakfasts suited our tastes. the Rooms are in a recently converted stable/barn attached to the original Pub building and are accessed from the rear yard . they are well appointed and clean. there is free car park at the rear.

    Good location for where we were headed (this was a stop- gap) Very handy that there is a restaurant/bar on site but got very noisy at night (there was a football final game showing) breakfast was good. Room was very basic, but that’s what we were expecting for the price we paid. No problems really.

    The shower took quite a long time to heat up, but this is really a minor quibble. We were also a little confused about where to go when we arrived, as the pub wasn't open yet, but it was easily sorted! Our room was very hot when we got back in the evening but this was more due to us not turning the radiator off before we left than any fault on the part of Mason Arms. In winter I think it would be absolutely lovely, very cosy!

    The staff were absolutely lovely - even going so far as to give us a lift to our event so we didn't have to spend money on a taxi. The location was perfect, ideal for our purposes (a nearby wedding) and I can also see how it would be great for walkers. The breakfast was very tasty. It was all very clean and the bed was very, very comfy. The rooms are a good size and nicely decorated - they also came with information about things to do and places to see, if we had been staying longer we definitely would have used these!

    Kitchen looked filthy and large Labrador dog in and out of there whilst cooking going on. Friends of the chef wandering into the kitchen from the beer garden whilst she was cooking meals. Chef smoked and didn’t wash her hands prior to going back in the kitchen from the beer garden. Recommend the excellent curry house in the village instead.

    - The bathroom was not clean enough (there was black mould all over the shower hose and around the shower gel and shampoo attachments to the wall, the curtain was dirty and mouldy at the bottom and there was grime on the tiles, the bathroom needs a thorough deep clean. Moreover, the fan was disgusting and couldn't be turned on because it made a scary "broken" sound. - The bedframe kept getting separated and wonky because the fixtures were broken (though safe) - Bed sheets didn't hold still on the bed and the mattress cover sheet was also broken and getting all crumbled underneath the main sheet - Massive orange stain on the carpet next to the desk that didn't look like anyone tried to clean it - The wicca chair was very wobbly and precarious - On the first day I was there, there was a lot of noise, specially from a gentleman that was pressure washing right outside my door (just wish someone had warned me, to be able to plan something other than just being in my room resting during that rainy day) - The doors were quite dirty and there were quite a lot of spider webs inside and outside my room - I just found out on the last day that no one cleans the rooms daily anymore, unless I requested it and from what I remember it was said on the advert that they did, so I had to change my own sheets and towels and such, which was not a big deal because there were spares on the bedroom wardrobe - Didn't like the fact that I could hear the very loud clinking of plates and cutlery in the kitchen for hours either even though it was not that close to my room - This is not supposed to be a horrible complaint, just constructive criticism and if my home bathroom does not look like that, I do not want it on holiday for sure. Which I am sure many people like me would concur

    - Owners and staff were very friendly and helpful - Very pretty surroundings - Beautiful view from my window - Sky light to see the starts at night and the birds during the day - Pub food was lovely - Nice filling breakfast - Spacious, pretty room and storage for one person - Very chilled environment - The owners prepared my breakfast even though i was late one of the days -
