The Skipton Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had a huge room with a comfy bed, sofa, refreshments and clean bathroom. Dinner on our first night, following a two hundred mile journey, was very welcome if a little pricey. Nevertheless portions were huge and the food was delicious. We sat in the bar after dinner simply to chill. Breakfast is a help yourself buffet. We had a view of the canal complete with views of ducks, sheep and narrow boats. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Would recommend."

When is the best time to go to Skipton?
The best time to go to Skipton largely depends on whether you prefer warmer weather and outdoor activities or a more subdued, cosy experience.For those looking to enjoy Skipton's outdoor offerings like canal boat trips, walking the Dales Way, or exploring the castle grounds, late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) are ideal. During these months, the weather is generally pleasant with fewer crowds than the peak summer season. You'll find most attractions operating fully, and the surrounding Yorkshire Dales are beautiful for exploring.If you prefer warmer weather and don't mind more people, July and August are the warmest months. This is peak season, so Skipton will be busier, and accommodation might be more expensive. However, you'll have the best chance for sunny days, superb for longer walks or enjoying the outdoor market.For a quieter visit with a chance of festive cheer, the winter months (November to February) can be appealing. While some outdoor activities might be limited due to weather, Skipton's independent shops and cosy pubs offer a welcoming escape.
