Great location, understated property which is warm and welcoming. Superb breakfast and evening meals. Very clean and comfortable. Staff are great.
The bedroom and en-suite were very clean and welcoming.
The staff from checking in to checking out were warm, polite and professional.
The breakfasts and evening meals were exceptional and value for money.
No complaints whatsoever and would definitely stay again next time we are in Skipton.
Location and check in was easy. Kind people. Huge breakfast.
If early or late check in might be needed, I recommend emailing to work out how to collect room key.
Ideal location, kind and accommodating people, room had all the essentials (tea, cozy bed, bathroom) at such a great price. Included breakfast was solid and hearty.
I recommend emailing if you need to check in early.
Nearby open late Tescos offered many food/etc options.
Fantastic location - a 5 minute walk from the railway station. Minutes walk to Skipton Town Centre.
I have had a wonderful ×3 nights stay at The Railway Inn. Highly recommend.
Lovely friendly staff, I felt very welcome -which is much appreciated as a solo traveller.
Lovely warm, spotlessly clean ensuite room @number 3.
Delicious home cooked food!
Thankyou!
