    Music takes away some tranquility

    Room excelllent, bed confortable, food was superb. Just beware music from the bar transmits loudly to some rooms. Not cheap but a high quality venue, restaurant closer to fine dining than a pub.

    The bathroom is small and the bathroom door gets in the way when standing at the sink We couldn't get the TV to work Breakfast was an additional charge, so was coffee/ tea and no juice provided. Our fried eggs were hard and the sausages were overdone _ not value for money at £30 we felt

    Room 1 is spacious with comfy beds. Nice toiletries provided and a good shower. We had dinner in the restaurant which was very good and the staff were professional and friendly Lovely terrace to enjoy a drink in the sunshine

    Our room was a deluxe room which we booked through Booking .com we will go direct to hotel when we stay again. I thought the room was very noisy having the kitchen underneath or next to the room doors banging etc staff arriving at 6.30am could hear everything also the socket situation - no socket near mirror which was annoying when trying to dry hair but overall we throughly enjoyed our stay.

    Breakfast was nice service good, had evening meal in hotel which was very nice Location of hotel brilliant

    We had a great stay - the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely. We didn't have breakfast at Curious Fox, but did eat their Sunday lunch, which was fantastic. Alongside the roasts, they menu was lovely, with great looking specials and a good wine list. The location was great for exploring Skipton too.

    Steep narrow steps to room but we could have asked for one with easier access so that was down to us.

    Cleanliness of the room and the available facilities, customer service, location. Food was superb. Staff were both friendly and helpful .

    Location very good, food, staff, ambience brilliant. As I had forgotten to mention our limited mobility we were in an attic room , which was lovely but didn’t suit our need. Have been assured there is more suitable accommodation available on request when we book for our next visit

    Well located, cosy, breakfast sublime. Staff great particularly lady at breakfast. Ate at restaurant one evening and proper nice, wish I’d been more adventurous than burger (which was delicious) cos starter was fantastic and they clearly know what they’re doing beyond standard pub fare. Would go back.

    Our room was up in he rafters so I would request a different room on a lower floor next time and the bathroom was very small. There are low beams too so a crash helmet is recommended! We did however book at the last minute. The breakfast was excellent but I think a little pricey... £16.50 each on top of the room price. I have since discovered that booking direct with the hotel includes breakfast so we'll be doing that next time. All in all though The Curious Fox is an excellent well run hotel ideal for a weekend away in Yorkshireville. We will definitely be returning.

    Bar and restaurant very nicely done. Drinks reasonably priced and food was excellent. The owner knows his stuff being a chef. We ate in the restaurant and the food was superb, especially the sticky toffee pudding. Free car parking was a great addition and location excellent for pubs & shops.
