Skipton Hotel refurbishments get underway

Wednesday, 25 February 2026 10:45

Refurbishment work is well underway at the Canalside Restaurant at Skipton Hotel, with a new-look dining space set to be unveiled soon.

The hotel says the transformation will create a modern restaurant area that makes the most of its views across the canal and towards the moors beyond.

The revamp will also introduce a new breakfast set-up for guests.

As part of the changes, the hotel has confirmed it will be launching a Sunday carvery.

In a post on social media, the team said:

“We are so excited to be in the middle of the transformation of the Canalside Restaurant.

“The new restaurant will bring a beautiful modern space to the hotel, focussing on our amazing views across the canal and the moors beyond.”

Meanwhile, bookings are now open for the hotel’s Unlimited Afternoon Tea for Mother’s Day, with further details available on the Skipton Hotel website.
