Skipton North (Gargrave) hotel

We needed an overnight stop for a funeral the following day. The hotel was nice (even better only 1 floor) as there was no one thumping around in a room above you. Room was clean, as Premier Inn standard. We were told food and breakfast was next door at The Anchor (DON'T BOTHER). I WISH I'd bought a 'picky tea' from BOOTHS on the way in from Ilkley. Ventured next door at 7pm an ex Brewer's Fayre restaurant. It was HUGE - and like the Marie Celeste. One couple in there picking at their plates. I knew then not to have anything to adventurous so stuck to a jacket potato with cheese. Husband had scampi, chips and peas. Two glasses of wine all came to £44 !!! I queried the bill - had been charged for steak pie and chips (which I was discussing - not ordered). The two staff were lovely and felt they had been abandoned. The reception is not great there and after an effort we were given cash as the machine wouldn't work. Food v v poor. One person came in from the hotel for food who had been standing at the reception desk trying to check in for 20 minutes. Ate his food (or did he) then left. We enquired about breakfast the following morning - we were told they weren't starting breakfasts for a few weeks.... So we checked out with no breakfast. Nearest place was Skipton - the hotel is remote. Attended the 11am funeral and went for brunch afterwards in Ilkley. Hotel was good but plan your food - or drive out somewhere.

A great stay, really friendly and welcoming staff. Comfy bed and clean room/ bathroom.

The room was as we expected it would be because of past experience at other sites. The bathroom was spotless as was the sleeping area. The receptionists were obliging, helpful and friendly. A new annexe is being constructed but we were not inconvenienced at all by this. The adjoining restaurant, which no longer belongs to the Premier Inn, is only open a few days a week. This is a pity. Nevertheless, we would still consider using ths site again if we revisit this area.

Excellent in every way! Perfectly clean! Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you!

Room was downstairs for disabled or ease of access but a long way to walk to get to it, no food available in hotel, clean & tidy hotel though
