Premier Inn Skipton North (Gargrave)

Absolutely terrible place; I've stayed in better hotels in third world countries. the place was absolutely filthy, with stains down the walls, and bed, and mould all over the bathroom, with rotting door frames. We had to sleep in our clothes due to the dirty bed, and had a three hour drive home after just an hours sleep. people were smoking in their rooms so clearly the smoke alarms don't work My biggest complaint is how disgustingly they have treated my 82 year old mother, who hasn't been offer a penny after paying for a room and a suit for my sisters family. She has been called a liar and been left traumatised by the entire trip, which was supposed to be a joyous occasion as she gave my niece away at her wedding. This hotel isn't fit for farm animals, let alone charging £130 for a nights stay; they should be ashamed

This was our worst experience with a Premier Inn. Although the room was clean the bathroom floor was dirty with a large area of unmopped dirt that had built up in the corner. The shower had a large build up of black mould up the tiles and on the shower screen where it slid along. My husband refused to use it. The cooked breakfast was terrible. Bacon so hard it couldn't be eaten with a knife and fork. Mushrooms cooked to death. I asked for poached eggs and told not on today. We waited 15 mins for eggs only to see the chef gossiping in the bar rather than producing eggs. I had a banana with yoghurt first but half of it was black when peeled. Mainly because it was in the ice for the yoghurt! We spent our breakfast time listening to the staff complaining about pay and working conditions. Clearly an unhappy workforce. So pleased we only stayed here one night. We won't recommend it.

If this were my first visit to any Premier Inn, it would also be my last. This hotel is in dire need of some love and upgrading. We picked this particular Premier Inn as it said it had air conditioning; and as we were staying at the end of May, that was a must for us this time. The room was very basic; clean enough. Bed not the most comfortable. We were in room 7 - and there seemed to be a bedside table / shelf missing. Do Premier Inns no longer do a daily 'tidy up'? Our bins were never emptied, and the beds were never made in our 3 night stay. We did get replacement towels after requesting them at the front desk. Breakfast - meh. Continental breakfast at the buffet; but everything else was made to order. This wasn't a big deal; but when we asked for something additional later on, it felt as if we were putting the staff out. We decided to save the £22 for two adult breakfasts and eat elsewhere for the other nights. We begrudgingly paid for 'premium wifi' one night (£5 for 24 hours - 3 devices only) as we had to catch up on some work. That wifi worked a treat. The 'free wifi' was slower than a snail, and because of the location, 4G/5G was virtually nonexistent. This hotel has a lot of promise; if someone invested in sprucing the place up, I'm sure it could be lovely! In the meantime, I won't be rushing back.

We picked this hotel as it was close to a few places we wanted to visit. I was a bit unsure due to some negative feedback but still booked it anyway. Staff were all friendly, helpful, and always kept us informed of times, deals, if the food would be late or items were not on the menu. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast and evening food were lovely. One downside to the restaurant is that it wasn't open from check-in time just for a drink, but I would bring my own in future. Also, thank you for the puddings (room 108).

This Premier Inn was a very good choice for our 3 day visit to the Yorkshire Dales. On arrival, there was a large free car park and a friendly welcome from Reception. The staff were excellent, at Reception, around the hotel and in the restaurant. The room was clean, well furnished and quiet. The restaurant meals -breakfast and evening meal were fine and hot food cooked to order. This hotel is a good choice and is only a short walk from the village, station, and local attractions. The canal is next to it and there is a towpath that will lead you to Skipton if you walk the 5 miles.

The room is what you would expect with all PI hotels with staff welcoming and efficient. The dinner service was terrible due to lack of staff plus some food items were off the menu. The two members of front of house staff did their best to keep everyone happy but failed. Breakfast service was not much better with guests waiting to milk, fruit, bread to be topped up and for hot food to be served. The waste bins in the outside seating area were overflowing. Overall, it gave the impression that the hotel was preparing to close permanently. Not that we are worried because we will not return here.
