Exactly as described by Mr Fastard below. Friendly service and very well kept beer. The Wishbone Tiller Pin is now a permanent beer here. Sadly there were two "care in the community" knobheads in who kept playing their tinny, crap music on their phones. Pub Annoyances #234. Apart from that an excellent bar.

Right on the canalside and owned by the boatyard which runs the trip boats which start outside,this is an excellent ale house.There are large picture windows around the L shaped interior with a small bar by the entrance and fixed benches around the periphery.The internal decorations have a canal them ,including a large wall map of the entire route of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal which runs outside.A wood burning stove will warm the interior in cold weather.
On my visit the ale selection was from Rudgate Chocolate Stout,Wishbone Tiller Pin,Small World Twin Falls,Neptune Forecast and Bingley Cookie Crumble and Dr Rudi (NBSS 4.5).That's a decent mix of styles and I really should have stayed longer to sample the wares more fully.There are also some craft keg options too,and the service from the barmaids was friendly and efficient.
I really liked this place,a must visit when in Skipton.Rightly in the 2024 GBG.

Final bar of the night and another deserved Good Beer Guide entry. Bar at far end, and the open plan room runs in a L shape around the corner. Typical pubby furntiture.
Beer - a Marble Brewery Lagonda - in perfect condition. But I have come to expect this from Yorkshire.
10pm closer - so night owls can be prepared.
