The Railway

After a nice afternoon with my children at Bolton Abbey we stopped in Skipton to find a nice pub who served Sunday dinner. Pleasantly surprised by this little pub/BnB on the corner. Really nice Sunday roast and desserts. Kids really enjoyed the dinner too, lovely atmosphere, very welcoming and friendly customer service! Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend!

Having stayed here pre pandemic we were delighted with the warm friendly cosy atmosphere and welcome! We were recently travelling through Skipton and decided to call in for a drink and a bite to eat.(having fond memories of the place) However the welcome from the miserable barman "Graham" was sadly amiss, ice cold! As we recall and anything but friendly, his co worker female looked like she would sooner be anywhere else. We had a drink but skipped the meal in search of some ambience elsewhere. (Not particularly fond as to feeling we have stepped into some ones living room, uninvited feeling) Staff training in customer service and a more pleasing attitude, may help in other cordial customer relations!

I stayed at the Railway for 5 nights on a recent holiday in Skipton. It's an easy 10 minute walk from the railway station and only 5 minutes away from the bus station and very close to the High Street. The room I had was a double with a seperate shower/wc ensuite. The room had tea and coffee facilities and a hair dryer. The food was very good and there was a lot of choice for breakfast. Dave the breakfast chef was very good. I ate on most nights at the Railway and the food was excellent, however they don't do food on Monday evenings but there are plenty of choices nearby for a meal. The staff were all very friendly and pleasant. If you are planning to eat there I would suggest you book a table as it can get very busy in the restaurant. I would certainly stay here again if I stay in Skipton again.

Wow, what a find. We wanted somewhere for Sunday lunch for 6 of us and homed in on the railway. Great pub, great beer, great atmosphere, totally rammed (in a good way) for Sunday Lunch and GREAT FOOD. The mixed roast Sunday lunch was as good and better than any Sunday Lunch I have had. The Beef stroganoff was glorious. Burgers were brill including the halloumi. Steak pie and mushy peas were also top notch. All starters equally brill. We visited the pub on two more occasions while we were staying in Skipton, just for a drink and again it was busy,. and the atmosphere was like being in your local, Easy to walk to from the town centre We will be back when e next visit Skipton. Thank you

Stayed for wedding at Bolton Abbey in early June , lovely clean rooms ideal for short stay , great breakfast on both mornings (thanks Dave the breakfast chef) the railway is ideally situated for pubs and restaurants however would recommend booking a meal at the railway as it is always booked up so the food must be good .

I spent two nights here whilst I attended a friends wedding. The location is great... the train station is 5 minute walk away which is ideal. There is also a tesco opposite if you need anything! Skipton town centre is just around the corner and you can access the canal at the end of the street (which makes for a lovely walk). The room had everything you could want, and the bed was really comfortable. Everything was super clean too! There is a bar downstairs but you wouldn't even know this when you are in your room, you can't hear a thing! Breakfast was included and you have a good range of options to chose from. I opted for the avocado toast which was lovely. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone considering a trip to Skipton. I would definitely go back if I ever need to visit again :)

We visited the restaurant for the second time today. The food was delicious and the bar/ restaurant was clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend. The staff work hard and are very accommodating.I now make a point of eating here each time I visit Skipton. Well done guys!
