The Railway

Great location, great breakfast, had evening meal which was superb with excellent service, parking is tricky, but ok if you get a space nearby!

The railway is in my opinion very well located just outside Skipton centre a five minute stroll either by road or over the very picturesque bridge over the canal. It is directly adjacent to Skipton's Little theatre, virtually next door to a very big Tesco store and a very attractive church and grounds. Breakfast is very good and very enjoyable. I had a SMALL single room but it is perfectly good for a night or two, I have stayed in a larger room and that was excellent. It was a Monday so the restaurant in the pub was not open for evening food, but again from my last visit I remember it was really good. All in all I would have no hesitation booking again. It has changed hands very recently so it will be interesting to see how the new owners get on, it is my understanding that existing staff will stay, so hopefully the high standards set will continue... Cheers Alan :-)

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food in the Restaurant was exceptional and the staff were very attentive. The Breakfast and the Breakfast server/chef was excellent and we would highly recommend the hotel for this alone. The hotel is situated very close to Skipton town center and we could park for free on the road alongside the property.

The room was lovely triple aspect and sunny, also you could not hear the pub underneath at all. Staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The included breakfast was piping hot, cooked fresh, and very tasty . For a smallish venue, the range of breakfast options was excellent. We also had an evening meal there which again was really delicious.. I could not fault this place and would visit again and also highly recommend it to anyone. I would also point out that the location is excellent. A few minutes walk from the railway station. Tescos and Morrisons are right on the doorstep if you need fuel, etc. Town centre, canal and bus station again a few minutes walk its so well situated. Thank you, Railway. we really enjoyed our stay

A nice warm welcome. The room, a single one, was pretty standard and did included a chair. I accidentally popped the drain cover off in the shower stall and even an area that no one would check it was spotless! So if the cleaner they use goes out of their way to even ensure the shower drain is spotless then you can guarantee the bedding, towels, room etc are equally as spotless. This is a small hotel/pub/restaurant which seems to be quite popular but I didn't hear any excessive noise as I don't think it attracts a rowdy crowd more like locals for a meal and a drink. I didn't try any of the evening meals but they do look really tempting. A lovely cooked breakfast and you do get a choice. Dining room even on the tables that weren't laid out for guests still had fresh flowers on them, a nice view out of the window and even the window boxes were in full bloom. Really nice attention to details. Perfect location for both the train station, Morrisons, Tesco etc and the town centre. Internet worked perfectly. You can get inside either through the pub or the locked side door. The fob key for that door works well and so did the room key. I would like to say that right next door is a tiny theatre called "Skipton Little Theatre" and I think it sits around 100 people, I went to see a performance and it was just such a nice atmosphere so check that out to see if there is anything on when you stay,
