Conveniently located in the centre of Skipton this pub/restaurant/hotel was a great find. Don’t be put off by the plain exterior as this traditional pub-hotel is so friendly and welcoming. It is also very good value for money while providing good service, food and real ale. We will be returning when we can either to stay and/or to eat and drink we liked it that much. So handy for the market, cafés, canal walks and boat trips and interesting shops. Don’t be put off by the busy nearby supermarkets they quieten down in the evening and a bonus is they provide a handy place to pull the car into for free, albeit limited, waiting.

No outdoor space or dedicated car parking as typical of a town centre but on the positive side there are plentiful car parks both free (from 90 minutes to 3 hours) and reasonably priced all day car parking within a 2 minute walk. We were lucky to return in the quieter evening to find free on-street parking right outside The Railway. As for outdoors there are pleasant church grounds adjacent and a short walk from the beautiful canal side area.

Great location, great breakfast, had evening meal which was superb with excellent service, parking is tricky, but ok if you get a space nearby!

Wanted breakfast earlier as heading off to early start cycle event, but not an option.

Stayed here for four nights. The food here is excellent and to get a table you need to book in advance. We only managed to eat one night here as they were fully booked on others. Breakfast was good, full English had everything you expect and of good quality. Also smoked haddock and poached eggs and great omelettes available. Choice of three real ales on hand pump. The location of the pub is easy walking distance to the town and its facilities. Parking is in an adjacent street and there may not always be spaces available. We felt this pub offers good value for money. It is very popular with locals and gets busy every night. On our last morning we discovered the landlady had sold and was handing over the pub to new owners that day. Hopefully they will keep existing staff on as they were all friendly and welcoming.

Bathrooms a little tired, but functional.

The railway is in my opinion very well located just outside Skipton centre a five minute stroll either by road or over the very picturesque bridge over the canal. It is directly adjacent to Skipton's Little theatre, virtually next door to a very big Tesco store and a very attractive church and grounds. Breakfast is very good and very enjoyable. I had a SMALL single room but it is perfectly good for a night or two, I have stayed in a larger room and that was excellent. It was a Monday so the restaurant in the pub was not open for evening food, but again from my last visit I remember it was really good. All in all I would have no hesitation booking again. It has changed hands very recently so it will be interesting to see how the new owners get on, it is my understanding that existing staff will stay, so hopefully the high standards set will continue... Cheers Alan :-)

Not sure really, there must be something but I couldn't really name it... It is an old building, so that in itself gives it limitations, but other than that I would say its pretty good!

The room was comfortable and clean. We were lucky enough to be able to book a table for dinner and the food was delicious and the dessert was 'to die for'! The breakfast was the usual juice, cereal and cooked breakfast options. We always have a full English as we know this will keep us going all day and we were not disappointed. The breakfast was hot and the menu items were all locally sourced. The Railway is certainly somewhere where we would book again on our next trip to Skipton.

There is nothing bad to say about The Railway. We were able to find a space to park on the road as there is no car park but this was not issue.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food in the Restaurant was exceptional and the staff were very attentive. The Breakfast and the Breakfast server/chef was excellent and we would highly recommend the hotel for this alone. The hotel is situated very close to Skipton town center and we could park for free on the road alongside the property.

We found the beds had very soft mattresses and the room was very warm due to being above the kitchen, and it had the sun on it all day, however, you can open the window. The bathroom was dated, and whilst the bathroom was clean, there were some decor issues and cobwebs.

The location 5 min from Railway and bus station was perfect! Find the path behind Morrissons from trainstation if you arrive by train. Take bus 210/211 to go to Malham. We went at 9.50 arriving 10.25 Malham. Enough time to go to the Cove, up to the limestone pavement and back via Janets Foss to Malham. There is also time for Gordale scar if you move fairly fast. We caught the bus back at 13.35 arriving Malham 14.15. A lovely walk! Do not miss the Tourist info and exibition at the Town hall :)

The room and the breakfast was really nice. There were som traffic noices late and early but not too bad.

The room was lovely triple aspect and sunny, also you could not hear the pub underneath at all. Staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The included breakfast was piping hot, cooked fresh, and very tasty . For a smallish venue, the range of breakfast options was excellent. We also had an evening meal there which again was really delicious.. I could not fault this place and would visit again and also highly recommend it to anyone. I would also point out that the location is excellent. A few minutes walk from the railway station. Tescos and Morrisons are right on the doorstep if you need fuel, etc. Town centre, canal and bus station again a few minutes walk its so well situated. Thank you, Railway. we really enjoyed our stay

Nothing at all.

Well looked after by the staff. Great cooked breakfasts. Gluten free bread available too which was a major plus. Very conveniently located for train and bus stations. Good lively bar - but don't leave booking a table for an evening meal until the evening - the restaurant is busy.

When there's two in a room it's nice to have 2 chairs, but like many places we've stayed there was just one. More reason than most for having only one, as the room was smallish - compensated for by a relatively big en suite with a shower that was easy to work.

A nice warm welcome. The room, a single one, was pretty standard and did included a chair. I accidentally popped the drain cover off in the shower stall and even an area that no one would check it was spotless! So if the cleaner they use goes out of their way to even ensure the shower drain is spotless then you can guarantee the bedding, towels, room etc are equally as spotless. This is a small hotel/pub/restaurant which seems to be quite popular but I didn't hear any excessive noise as I don't think it attracts a rowdy crowd more like locals for a meal and a drink. I didn't try any of the evening meals but they do look really tempting. A lovely cooked breakfast and you do get a choice. Dining room even on the tables that weren't laid out for guests still had fresh flowers on them, a nice view out of the window and even the window boxes were in full bloom. Really nice attention to details. Perfect location for both the train station, Morrisons, Tesco etc and the town centre. Internet worked perfectly. You can get inside either through the pub or the locked side door. The fob key for that door works well and so did the room key. I would like to say that right next door is a tiny theatre called "Skipton Little Theatre" and I think it sits around 100 people, I went to see a performance and it was just such a nice atmosphere so check that out to see if there is anything on when you stay,

I think maybe in the summer a small fridge would be a big help but I also suspect that the staff would be more than happy to store anything you think needs to be kept chilled in any case.
