Having stayed here several times, we knew what to expect and were not disappointed The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The breakfast option was good and was included in the price, which is not always the case. Having travelled to Skipton via public transport, the Railway is convenient for all modes of transport, so parking for us was not an issue. Highly recommended.

Liked: Cleanliness
Pleasant but not outstanding
The positives include cleanliness, a comfortable bed, good shower and hot water, location, storage of luggage when we arrived early. About our arrival...the phone number outside the building is useful as it doesn't open until 12.00 (pub hours, we were told), and of course, check-in was not until 2.00. However, it is fairly usual for places to have information about leaving luggage if no one is going to be there. We were grateful that Julie was and took care of this for us. Eventual check in was slow because the staff were attending to the bar as well, and we had to wait for this. We were helped with the luggage up a fairly narrow and steep staircase. The room met all our requirements, apart from no desk for using a laptop. However, there were two comfortable chairs, a bonus. Tea, coffee and biscuits were available. Breakfast was served in a pleasant room, and the cooked breakfast was generous. Some items were missing from the yoghurt/cereal offerings, with little fruit on the first day, and no fruit or yoghurt on the second. Housekeeping was a bit limited on the second day (bed not remade, no fresh towels). So, lovely staff, good room with comfortable bed, and great location. But I was disappointed after seeing the excellent reviews posted earlier on the site.

Would recommend and stay again
Really good location, room was a good size and clean, breakfast was lovely and they accommodated gluten and dairy free intolerances. Parking free on the street outside and enjoyed being so close to the canal for walks, which were lovely.

Close to town center
Convenient for the town center. Friendly staff. Easy, free on-street parking. Room okay, but the room above the kitchen (room 6) is a bit noisy first thing in the morning, previously stayed in room 6 which is better.

A Great Place to Stay & Great Value for Money!
The Railway is situated on the outskirts of the Town Centre, but only a 5 minute walk away. The staff were very friendly & welcoming, the beer on tap was exceptional! The rooms, although small, were clean & comfortable; the breakfast provided, which is included in the price, was excellent. The only slight issue was the availability of parking; street parking is scarce, you just need to be lucky; however, there is a car park close by, which, if you park to the far right-hand side, provides a short walk to the property. The car park is chargeable, although not expensive, but is free between the hours of 18:00 to 09:00. Overall, a great place to stay & great value for money!
