Clearly an old pub with entrances both on the High Street and off Jerry Croft,It's owned by Greene King who somehow have spoiled the interior with modern,garish furniture and fittings.You can wind around the interior from the central corridor,the sections to the right are rather dark and univiting,while the main tap room has some large banquettes in velour coverings and a raised bar but with a very bright display of keg taps and several of the handpumps double clipped with the ever dull ales served up by Greene King.The low ceilings and some exposed timbers and stonework show the buildings age but it lacks atmosphere and feels corporate.There is little evidence of the hotel metioned in the title.Screens and fruit machine also lower the tone.
The ale choice of GK IPA,Old Speckled Hen,Belhaven 80/- was saved by a decent TT Landlord (NBSS 4) with a 10% CAMRA discount.
There are much better pubs in Skipton with much more interesting ale ranges.I won't bother in future.

A good pub. I thought it was going to be bigger than it is. It does however consist of 2 rooms. The main room to the left houses the bar and here you will find 8 handpumps. A good variety of beers available and the pub was very busy today due to the footy and Saturday market day being on. I didn't check out the room to the right. Its a good pub.

Strangely a first visit to what is said to be Skipton's oldest pub, it's near the top of the High Street. Inside it's an odd shape probably due to wall removal, moving right to left there's a narrow seating area, a corridor, a large bar area with a huge screen, a couple of machines and a nice massive stone fireplace and then finally a raised slim bar area with the counter. Here you find eight pulls, only two from owners Greene King, Black Sheep Bitter, a couple of Moorhouses, and one each from Dent, Daleside and Rudgate. Obviously I went for the Dent but at 3.7% it was thin and unimpressive. There's a garden smoking area at the rear.
