Premier Inn Skipton North (Gargrave)

This was our 3rd visit to this hotel, good hotel in a lovely quiet area, ideal for a relaxing couple of days away, Staff always welcoming although if you arrive before 3pm it's £10 fee which we did not know about the first time as other hotels we have used if we have been maybe 30 mins early but a room is ready they will book you in so if anything this is the only minus for the hotel everything else absolutely spot on

Had such an amazing stay at this hotel great service all the staff are very friendly and helpful big shout out to Tania the receptionist who sorted my bed out for me and really made me smile the restaurant next door which is part of the hotel is also really great amazing food and drinks with a lovely breakfast in the mornings

Had an issue with a damp smell in our room and the staff could not have been more kind, helpful and accommodating in resolving it. Thank you so much to the wonderful Jenny on reception and the lovely manager who helped us out the next day too (sorry, forgot her name). Sorry too that it's taken so long. Hope this puts a smile on your faces. X

I stay in Premier Inns across the country all of the time. The last time I was at Gargrave was 2014 I am guessing and was surprised and disappointed to see that this hotel has not been refurbished. I cannot fault the check in staff, they were exceptionally friendly and helpful and Nicola helped me with an important request concerning my booking but I did mention to one of them how come this hotel has not been refurbished like the others. I will list the faults. And these are faults as I stay at many Premier Inns from Dunfermline to Hayle, from London Edgware to Burnley. Firstly the smell of the room when you enter is awful, a musty, damp (maybe tobacco) smell. The bathroom is dated, the mirror needs replacing and the joints are grime filled. The TV has very limited channels and the guide doesn't work because the clock has not been set. The fan in the bathroom is incredibly noisy to the extent I had to take a bath with the light out. The spare pillows I could not use as there was no seal on them which there should have been and I guess they had not been replaced by the way they were in the pouch. The sofa bed which thankfully I had no other guest to use was absolutely awful. It was dilapidated and in need of replacing and I would never sleep on it. The windows had condensation and wet on them, the carpet needed replacing. Bear in mind, I will say it again, I 'know' what a Premier Inn room should be like. For example you can tell how old a Premier Inn room is like if it is pre-card slot for the electric to work. This is way before then. Why on earth has this hotel not been refurbished ?? I stopped using Travelodge in the early 2000s because they became so ran down and unfortunately this hotel was on par with one of those. It's such a shame and really quite annoying as the staff are a gem here and it's location was very good for me but I just don't feel I could stay here again because of the state of the rooms. I do feel I want to take this matter further so will be emailing Premier Inn to ask them when this hotel will be updated. Parking excellent by the way, lots of spaces

Friendly staff but seemed inexperienced and didn’t seem familiar with the technology. The bed is comfortable but the heating/ air conditioning was erratic and noisy. The free WiFi is unusable premium Wi-Fi is supposed to be available for a fee but although I paid for it I could not access it and was told by staff that this always happens! I asked for a refund but have not yet received it

It is what you get for a premier inn. Good location and staff happy enough. Good for a based when visiting the Yorkshire dales. Beds comfy, but walls a bit thin and having to hear your neighbours snoring wasn’t the greatest but as I say it is what it is.

Clean room, great night sleep, quick and friendly check in and fantastic staff! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Breakfast was lovely the following morning, loved the hashbrowns and sausages. Great stay will definitely be back!

The hotel itself was lovely, as usual the beds were awesome and the staff were friendly and helpful. On the other hand I would avoid the attached Anchor Inn like the proverbial plague - the food is, at best, adequate and the breakfast was pretty dire. I can only presume the eggs are cooked a few days in advance, as by the time they have spent a few hours in the warming plate they could double up as a pretty good Frisbee; the rest of the buffet was ok at best. Working in hospitality can be tough and it showed on the faces of the staff, well when they actually interacted with guests that is! With the exception of James, who was a delight and warrants a special mention. To sum up, the hotel is fab and I would recommend without hesitation, but go any where else for your food.

Lovely place to stay, close to where we wanted to be, bed was super comfy, staff were very friendly, plenty of parking available, easy access to room rooms were very clean and tidy and. At brooms were clean
