Just like to say thanks to Mick, he was a great host and very friendly, the room was very clean and tidy and was very comfortable. The breakfast was very nice and set us up for the day. Will be staying again, and would recommend to anyone. Thanks again Mick. From Nathan & Vanessa Lincoln

I was booked into the Unicorn but moved last minute due to an issue with the room. Must say that I'm glad as this was nice and quiet and very clean. The chap who owns and runs the business let me and gave me the welcome tour. For the money, can't fault it and would stay again. Next morning the... More

Although not very pretty from the outside the Town House offered good value accommodation in a great location right near the main town centre and bus station. Great to find a guest house which still offers guests a room with a bath rather than just a shower and the TV with inbuilt DVD player was much appreciated too. Great breakfast... More

Town House is right next to the bus station in Skipton and is ideally located for people like us who don't drive. We did get off to a slightly tricky start in that we arrived to find no one home and, having rung the owner's mobile number, found out he was driving home and would be about 15 minutes or... More

I stayed here with my 8 year old son in October. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped. We had to be up and away early in the morning and the owner prepared a cooked breakfast for us at 0700 on a Saturday morning - exceeded our expectations. If we are ever in Skipton again we will be back.... More

This is the fourth time I have stayed at the Townhouse, and it was wonderful as always. It is bang in the centre of town - but still out of the way enough to be very quiet. You just walk up a little "ginnel" and you are in Skipton town centre. They have excellent parking facilities too. Not really much... More
