About Old Swan
High Street in Skipton runs down towards the castle and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and Old Swan sits among this stretch of the town, giving guests an easy walk to both the historic centre and the water. It's a compact, traditional hotel with just five rooms, suited to those who want a quiet base rather than a large resort-style stay.
Each room comes with an en-suite bathroom, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children. Guests can expect breakfast each morning, with a restaurant and bar on site for other meals, plus packed lunches on request for a day out exploring. There's a garden and outdoor seating area, along with a picnic area, free WiFi throughout, and meeting rooms for those combining business with their stay. Free on-site parking and 24-hour reception add practical convenience, and pets are welcome.
The surrounding area suits walkers and cyclists, with routes to explore along the canal and into the wider North Yorkshire countryside. Fishing and golf are both available nearby, and the town itself has pubs, restaurants and other eateries within easy reach on foot from the hotel's High Street position.
