    Nothing! It was 100% perfect!!

    The room was lovely and welcoming, with a beautiful patio & garden outside, the bed was wonderful and so soft and comfortable, the bathroom was gorgeous with a large walk in shower, very spacious! The hotel was lovely and couldn't do enough to make our stay perfect! The food was delicious and couldn't fault anything! Just a great location too, so peaceful and nature all around! Beautiful surroundings and perfect location for visiting linton falls and grassinton! Which are stunning to visit, also Burnsall & Appletreewick just minutes away! We will be back and bringing the dog next time which are very welcome here! Perfect!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The bed was at the end of its days, and desperately needs the mattress renewing. A small fridge wouldn’t go amiss for the price of the accommodation either

    Excellent location and very clean. The staff in all the hotel, bar, restaurant, Spa and Gym were excellent and Daniel was outstanding.

    Nothing, it was all great.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. Great accommodation and had access to the pool, gym, cafe, and restaurant. The pods were equipped with what we needed and were comfortable. We were told by locals that there was a bus that went onsite that also goes to the nearest towns, but we drove everywhere. Would recommend staying.

    I was lucky to be upgraded but the room was hot when I arrived. However, there was a big floor fan provided which was excellent and cooled the room down. The bathroom was superb with underfloor heating.

    The breakfast was truly excellent. The upgrade of the room was wonderful and the evening steak I had could not have been better. The full use of the leisure centre next door was an excellent bonus.

    No specific reception. Key pick up behind bar so if lots of people queuing for drinks you have to wait. There is online check in but don’t think that assists with key. It was only a minor issue

    I didn’t realise the pub is on a Caravan Park, called Long Ashes at Threshfield. Booking.com you should be more specific when one searches for property. This was not in Skipton but your search said it was, very misleading. The room was very warm. A fan was provided but very noisy to try and get to sleep. A car is required as there isn’t anything around. Nearest pub is 45 minutes walking and no footpath. The cafe needs to be more informative of when meals are stopped being served. For example: Two Pizzas for £20 daily is on the blackboard. When we got back from a day out we wanted to have a Pizza for our tea. We were told they stop making them before 5pm. The cafe doesn’t close until 8pm. The lady very kindly made us a sandwich but at £8.95 for two slices of bread, Cheese Savoury filling with a touch of salad, was way overpriced. Had we known the cafe stopped serving so early, we would have bought a meal deal in Skipton and saved a fortune. We had eaten in the pub the previous evening and did not want another large meal.

    Clean and comfortable. Plenty of tea , coffee in the room.

    Toilet issues

    Unfortunately the bathroom in our pod flooded due to a disconnected pipe at the back of the toilet. This was early hours of the morning. My wife and I had to use some of our clothes as well as the towels provided to absorb everything , including dirty toilet water,and we couldn't use the toilet. The next day when I reported the issue and explained everything, they couldn't fix it due to no maintenance staff working at the weekend. I offered to repair it myself and explained they should call a professional on the Monday. I removed the surround at the back of the toilet and managed to repair the pipe with some duct tape temporarily. After fixing the toilet and ruining some of our clothes, I mistakenly thought a good gesture would have been offered by the manager working at the weekend. A reduced payment on our stay? A complimentary meal? Even a free pint? Nothing was offered, and I completely understand that any of the things would be given only out of good will. Never the less. We had wonderful time besides this upset and will return in the future. If it had been me, I would have at least said thank you

    There were only a few tea bags provided so a few extra would have been great but it didn't affect our stay at all.

    We stayed in one of the woodland cabins. It was so lovely and had everything you need for a few nights stay and was plenty big enough. The small kitchenette had a toaster, kettle, fridge and microwave and was well equipped. We used the swimming pool/hot tub/sauna every day which is located only a few minutes walk from the cabins. We would recommend going earlier in the morning when it was much quieter! The Gamekeeper's Inn do a great breakfast, it wasn't included in our stay but was very reasonably priced. We also had a great evening meal there too. The location was excellent and we walked to Grassington. The staff were all really friendly and we couldn't have asked for a better stay.

    This might not be an issue for other people but my only slight criticism is that the mattress was too soft, I suffer with a bad back so for me personally, I need a good firm mattress.

    The room and bathroom were clean and modern, I loved how dog friendly it was even though we didn’t bring ours. The bar, bar garden, restaurant were all lovely and clean and inviting as well.
