    Fabulous place our room 1 was very spacious and clean everything you needed. Food downstairs was really tasty, well presented and very reasonably priced. Staff were very polite helpful and such a lovely place we will be back and recommend.

    We have stayed at the Railway several times over the past few years and always feel comfortable and relaxed. The location is quiet but near to the town, rooms are clean and nicely decorated with a lovely shower. Breakfast consists of good quality ingredients and the restaurant food is delicious. Best cheese and onion pie ever! Skipton is an excellent spot to explore the beautiful surrounding places and I would always stay at the Railway.

    Only criticism- the bed mattress could maybe do with replacing for something a bit more firm, but it was alright. There's no parking, but there is a very reasonably priced car-park just a 3-minute walk up the road. Otherwise, no complaints at all.

    The Railway was a great pub-hotel to stay in. A simple single room to be fair, but perfectly nice for the price, which was less than the Travelodge. WiFi, TV, coffee/tea, biscuits provided and was pleased there was a hairdryer too! And a fan - was a hot night! Nice clean ensuite. The cooked breakfast was superb- really nice to have before a day selling maps at Art in The Pen.

    Nothing that I could have reasonably expected

    I remember when this was a small locals "Tetley" pub. We liked it then and are delighted that the new owners have made a great job of refurbishing The Railway and making it very nice while still maintaining it's character. It still is a pub with 4 hand pumps but so much more. The room while not massive was more than adequate, very comfortable and very clean. The en-suite was absolutely sparkling. Tea/coffee etc was provided and replenished after our first night. Breakfast was wonderful with a choice of: Full English, smoked herring, omelette, poached eggs. Our full English was outstanding. 2 rashers, 2 sausages, egg, mushrooms, black pudding, tomato, beans, fried bread and toast plus tea and coffee of course. We had an evening meal too, (it was busy so best to pre-book on arrival), with loads of choice and generous portions. I would happily recommend the Railway and will stay again next time we're in Skipton. And only 5 minutes from the canal.

    There’s street noise sometimes, mostly sounded like teenagers just being themselves.

    Joy welcomed me when I arrived, and helped me with my hiking itinerary; so fun! Dinner was extremely delicious! I had the fish pie one evening and Angelina created an amazing goat cheese salad for me another evening. The full breakfast was also great. Location was perfect for me; easy walk to train & bus stations, to downtown shops. Tesco (kind of a cross between Target/Costco/Alberson-Lucky) is a 1-minute walk. Pro tip: there’s an ATM outside the Tesco.

    We were pleasantly surprised about the standard of the room. Really cosy, clean and modern with nice bathroom and coffee making facilities. We stayed for one night and went to explore the town the next day. Location is great for both town centre and train station. Staff was super friendly and helpful. English breakfast was delicious and chef was really nice, attentive and happy to make substitutions for fussy eaters. Would highly recommend!

    The only thing that I was gutted about was that we weren't staying another night. I would have loved to have the time to stay for the Sunday roast.

    I must start by saying I will definitely stay here again. The staff were so friendly, the room was beautiful and so clean and the bed was so comfortable. The food was unbelievable. We had tea on the night time and it was worth every penny. The breakfast in the morning was equally as delicious, cooked to perfection and the perfect amount to set you on your way.
