What guests think

Herriots Hotel earns frequent praise for its friendly staff and convenient canal-side location near Skipton and the train station, with many guests enjoying easy walks by the water and straightforward access to town and public transport.

Several reviews report traffic or function noise in some rooms, and a few guests said they were not warned about events. Rooms are often comfortable with canal views available, but some run hot, and access can involve steep stairs or a slow or out-of-service lift. Housekeeping is generally solid, though a handful mention dust or pet hair, and breakfast and dinners are widely liked despite occasional slow service, small portions, or inconsistent items. Overall, it’s a comfortable base if you select your room carefully.

Great location, 5 minute walk along the canal to town. Hotel is opposite the train station, fire station & a supermarket. Room was nice & mostly clean although a desk lamp had quite a thick coat of dust on the base. Our room overlooked the road at the front which is busy - noise didn’t really bother us but would probably ask for a canal side room next time. Nice bar area. Had dinner in the restaurant & it was good, but small portions. Salmon came with 3 very small 1/4 roast potatoes. Black olive & feta salad had no olives! There is a supermarket over the road… Breakfast was good, although the beans were cold. Staff were great, especially the lovely lady who served breakfast.

A pleasant hotel with nice location by the canal with easy access and short walk into town. Pleasant, helpful staff and a good restaurant on site but also many food choices nearby. Only problem is no proper lift and the lift for disabled access / luggage is in need of some maintenance with only one person at a time allowed and rather slow, noisy and creaky

Poor management, tried to blame Hotels.com for not pre advising of two functions taking place below our three rooms which would be located above. Checked with hotels.com and they have never been advised from the hotel. When we brought up the noise from the function room upon departure the manager just laughed. Even if we did know we were booked on a non refundable rate so would have been unable to get a refund.

The hotel was clean and well furnished . Not so easy for people with mobility issues as steps to rhubarb restaurant and we also had stairs to our room - no lift on our side of the hotel . Also a step into the room . Fine for us but not for all guests . Room very very warm , although had 2 fans just circulated the warm air . We were at the front of the hotel so the traffic disturbed you too . Poor service for breakfast on the Sunday morning - think they were short staffed .!!

We were in room 10, up 4 flights of filthy stairs, carpet looked as it it hadn't been cleaned this year and some stairs had no lighting. Evening meal was a disaster everything we chose they didn't have staff said it was because of a busy bank holiday but the had a whole day to restock we only wanted steaks!! Cooked breakfast was served cold and the bacon was like cardboard I was asked if i would like sauce asked for brown but it never materialised. It's been quite a while since we stayed here but from this experience we won't be coming back.

Our room was quite hot despite being early autumn but the windows did open & wifi in our room was unusable due to slow lagging speeds & constantly dropping out but maybe better in other rooms… overall a great choice for staying in the lovely town of Skipton

One night stay. Modern updated room with great bathroom and bath. The taps were a concern since the water could shoot out the sink! Bed comfortable but didn’t like the pine posts made to resemble four poster bed. They detracted from the room making it appear smaller and one post was in the way of the tv. Room hot but there was an air conditioning unit that could be used.

Our room was modern & overlooking the picturesque canal boat mooring area. Bathroom was small & the shower door was a tight squeeze for anyone above average girth. Also there was little space for storage in both shower-room or bedroom. The bedroom was very warm but there was an electric fan, which helped.The on-site restaurant [Rhubarb's] was comfortable and the food was good. Parking on site and an easy walk into town.

I was not impressed being ‘ejected’ , as a resident at the hotel, at 11pm on a Saturday night. As a hotel resident, every where else I have stayed I could get a drink. On this occasion there were probably 15 hotel guests in the bar but we were all evicted. I will not be staying there again.

We had a 3-night stay to attend a wedding locally. All went well until Sunday morning when the breakfast was so slow in our order being taken and its non-delivery before we had to leave. Our complaint was met with courtesy "the kitchen is very busy and every one came in at once". Apologies hardly compensated for no cooked breakfast which we were depending upon. A threat of a poor review must have encouraged the management to email us whilst we were out for the day and offered a refund and apologies for the lack of sustenance. So, we felt satisfied that we were compensated and we think a lesson was learnt. I would stay there again. Our superior room overlooking the canal was worth the extra.

Check in was easy, with a pleasant lady telling us what to do. Our bedroom was small but adequate overlooking the main road. The train station is across the road. It's about a ten minute walk to Skipton town centre, and you can walk along the canal side, which we did and was pleasant. The breakfast was good, either cooked or continental. The bad bit! The extractor fan in the bathroom would not go off. We turned the light off and there is usually a delay before they go off, but this one stayed on....all night! I looked around for another switch but couldn't find any (Room 6).

A most enjoyable stay. We would have preferred a more varied dinner menu. We were a bit irritated about having to pay for everything as we ordered it rather than charging items to our room and settling up when we checked out which is the norm for other hotels. We thought the whole breakfast event was first class. All of the staff were outstanding.
