Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Town House B&B enjoys a superb location, just around the corner from the high street and right in Skipton town centre, convenient for the markets and bus station. Guests frequently highlight the spacious and spotless rooms, some noting room 7 in particular for its size. The in-room continental breakfast and mini-fridge are appreciated, as is the convenience of free parking; however, a few guests have mentioned that the standard breakfast isn't cooked, although this is available at an extra cost.

adequate accommodation

clean room convenient parking unfriendly greeting luggage storage

the room was clean. parking was available right outside, convenient. the location allowed for easy access to the town centre. i also found it was a short walk to the canal towpath.

the greeting felt a bit off. it seemed like i was bothering someone. i ended up leaving my luggage in the car instead of the locked garage offered.

town center clean room free parking poor shower late breakfast inconvenient greeting

The hotel's location IS GREAT for accessing the town center. The free parking saved me from worrying about finding a car park. The room was very clean, it had everything I needed.

The shower connection was a little poor. Breakfast started too late for my work schedule. I found the greeting I got slightly inconvenient, I was like an inconvenience for arriving a bit early to leave my bags.
