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.

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!

Cosy little hotel

The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Not too far to walk to the town hall where we were watching a show. The service we received was great but the breakfast was disappointing.
