THE SKIPTON HOTEL
GATEWAY TO THE DALES
Award-winning 96 bedroom waterfront Hotel, located on the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Skipton, the ‘Gateway to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.’ Ideal for conferences, a walking, cycling or family break. Perfect for weddings, team building and celebrations with event space flexible for your requirements up to 300 guests. Work out in our gym, or simply relax during your stay in our indoor pool and hot bath at the Leisure Club.
Ideally located to explore towns and cities such as Harrogate, York & Leeds or enjoy beautiful landscapes such as the Yorkshire Dales and Yorkshire Moors by foot, bike or car. Why not visit historical buildings such as Fountains Abbey, Bolton Abbey, or jump aboard a steam train on the numerous heritage lines that are close to the Hotel. If you are a keen cyclist, we are bike friendly and no better location in the UK to enjoy the two wheeled pursuit. Races including the Tour de France, Tour of Britain, and Tour de Yorkshire have graced nearby routes.
Finally, don’t forget that we’re also pet friendly (by arrangement), so you won’t have to be separated from your four-legged pals whilst you explore this beautiful area.
