The Bailey Bed and Breakfast - Room 1

Situated next to the castle in the historic centre of Skipton, officially the happiest place in the UK and gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, the property benefits from a rural secluded feel, but is just two minutes’ walk from the centre of the town. There are wonderful walks to enjoy from the door in Skipton woods, or up on the fells. We have canals, steam railways, Bolton Abbey and the Yorkshire Dales national park, all within easy reach. We have Two Luxury Bed & Breakfast Rooms available all year round. The latest additions to The Bailey Skipton are our two new Boutique Bed and Breakfast rooms. Finished to an extremely high standard, the spacious rooms feature comfortable king-sized beds with top class Harrison mattresses, sumptuous pillows and duvets and Egyptian cotton bedding. After a wonderful night’s sleep, you’ll be treated to a classic home-cooked Yorkshire breakfast (or book "Room Only Rates" if not required) featuring award winning local produce and little extras such as homemade granola, freshly baked bread and homemade jam. Whilst check in is from 15:00 and check out by 10:00, guests are welcome to park up from 12:00 noon to explore Skipton and can remain parked until 12:00 noon on the day of departure. As can be seen from our wonderful reviews and awards, we are all about making our guests feel special. The Bailey offers secluded perfection but in the heart of this wonderful market town, the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales and officially the happiest place to live in the UK.

He always dreamt of running a holiday business and decided enough was enough. When bankers became the new traffic wardens it was time for a change. Mark is the lead cellist with Leeds Symphony Orchestra and plays cornet in Otley and Skipton Brass Bands. He is a keen fell runner and cyclist.
