The hotel was located in the centre of Skipton, within easy walking distance of both the castle and its famous market. All the food that we had during our stay was delicious with the portion sizes being just enough without overfacing you. However, I think the most memorable element to our stay was the staff. They were a genuinely friendly, caring team of people. We both have mobility issues and they were very attentive without being overbearing. They were friendly and helpful - the kind of people you would be proud to claim as friends or family.
There was only one minor drawback as far as we were concerned and that was that there was no fan in the room. It was very hot while we were there and a fan would have helped cool down the room.

Loved the location walking distance to the centre of Skipton. The room was lovely and spacious and very quirky. Lots of tea and coffee and free cans of water and biscuits. Loved the spa bath and shower.
We went during the week Tuesday to Thursday to celebrate a special birthday and the bar was only open when the restaurant was open so had to go elsewhere which was a shame as the weather was horrendous. Also other residents on returning from their night out were very noisy at 1am banging doors etc.. not the hotels fault but maybe the hotel should put up signs to be quiet and mindful of other guests staying in the hotel. The church bells ringing till the early hours.

Friendly staff, exceptionally clean, fantastic food, great location.
Not the fault of The Curious Fox & may not be a problem normally, but it was a very hot night, so we had the window open, but the church bells ring out regularly throughout the night & the gym across the road was playing loud dance music early in the morning, so we didn't get a great sleep. That being said, the rest of our stay was so excellent that we won't let this stop us going back in the future.

Fred and Staff were really lovely. They made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. The Sunday lunch was amazing.
Room was perfect for my fiend and I in #1. My only two negatives would be the Price was high . Which I completely understand, being in such great location. And I would do the same to dissuade the riffraff Stag/Hen scenario. For this price tag , I would recommend an inclusive Breakfast which includes a coffee/tea.

The property is really nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortabel. The location is great. The staff are really friendly and helpful! The food is amazing!
My room seemed to be near or above the kitchen and the bathroom had a strong smell of food being cooked. Even though the food in the restaurant is excellent, it‘s not so pleasant having the smell of fried fish in your bathroom. Sorry

The hosts were very attentive & made us feel very welcome. It was very clean & in an excellent location. The food was amazing.
The room we stayed in was very nice ie the beds were comfy, the bathroom very bright, great shower, however it was extremely noisy. I think the noise was coming from the kitchen, this went on until 11.45 pm both nights & again early in the morning. Banging doors, talking & we could hear the sounds of equipment being moved, put away etc. The couch was very comfortable but where's it's positioned, the draft coming from under the door made it quite cold. I rolled a towel up to act as a draft excluder.

What's nit to like it's beautiful to look at to begin with. The facilities are outstanding and the staff and owner couldn't have been more welcoming nothing was too much trouble and Karen asked me everyday what housekeeping I needed.!! The room was spacious with lovely king-size bed with first class linen. If you forget toiletries plenty are in the bathroom. Big fluffy towels as well. Coffee tea etc also in room.
There are low beams in some rooms so if your tall remember to duck. Nothing negative at all.
