Skipton Hotel - formerly known as Hotel Rendezvous-Skipton

On the outskirts of Skipton, in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, this charming, family-run hotel boasts a wonderful canal-side restaurant, great leisure facilities and idyllic views of the Leeds and Liverpool canal. Skipton is a delightful traditional market town and is known as the Gateway to the Dales. On the banks of the canal, surrounded by the beautiful Yorkshire dales and within easy reach of York and Harrogate, the hotel offers the best of traditional Yorkshire hospitality and good accommodation. Dine in the canal-side Restaurant and enjoy the wonderful views. Watch the colourful narrow boats drift by, sometimes with equally colourful characters on board! The restaurant also offers wonderful views of the local wildlife. Local swans nest on the canal bank here every year and proudly present their latest brood.

Worth booking

Pros: Although refurbishment going on it did not interfere with our stay. We would definitely book again The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Eileen 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Staff couldn't be more helpful, food was good , hotel in refurbishment process but did not spoil our stay.

Cons: I could not use the swimming pool as I have mobility problems, and access by ladder steps only. Would benefit disabled if pool access was enabled.

Oona 10/10

Pros: Very pleasant hotel, great location on the canal and very friendly and helpful staff.

Jean 8/10

A good basic hotel.

Pros: The hotel and back bedrooms overlooks the canal, with lovely views and you can park up and walk into Skipton along the towpath in 30 minutes. Bedrooms are a little dated but clean and warm. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food was ok but could be better, breakfast was sufficient but tea and coffee was not hot.

Cons: Pool area is in need of a serious update but the pool was warm. The other public areas are gradually being updated, not easy in a rather plain 1988 hotel. Spotted bacon on the restaurant floor and one young staff member said “oh it’s ok, we’ll Hoover it up later!” Not the point…I scooped it up myself. However most of the staff seemed efficient.

Jane 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Outstanding in all ways, friendly and comfortable.

Pros: Great location, extremely well equipped, the staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable . No faults for us at all.

Cons: I cannot think of anything we didn’t like. Possibly look at the sealant in the shower room and our room was too hot. However the weathered in February is so unpredictable with snow constantly forecast and not arriving.
