Had two nights at Rockwood House, which is well situated in the main street of Embsay village opposite the free municipal car park. Great pub, the Elm Tree, just up the street. My room had obviously recently been decorated, so strong smell of gloss paint meant I had to spend a lot of time with the window open and suffer... More

These two ladies were charged £39 each (which includes a 15% agent booking fee) per night for a large twin and a large double room. The centrally heated twin ground floor room had been recently decorated, both rooms are en suite. Not sure what the problem was with the shower, it only trickles when not fully turned on – it...

We stayed at Rockwood House whilst visiting relatives in Yorkshire. The room was lovely and clean with beautiful decor and felt very specious with the high ceilings. The hosts were very welcoming and we would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at this bed and breakfast for a wedding at the Devonshire Arms and found the facilities to be tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. We were warmly greeted by the owners who could not do enough to satisfy our requirements. The village is very picturesque and we enjoyed a good Sunday lunch at the Elm Tree.... More

The lady originally booked 2 rooms for 2 nights. We informed her that one of the rooms booked was unsuitable and offered an alternative which she refused and proceeded to cancel the booking. She has NOT been charged anything by us. In fact we have had to pay commission to the agent through whom she booked. More

We stayed at Rockwood House last week. The house is in the lovely village of Embsay which is less than 10 mins drive from Skipton. Unfortunately for us, the weather was appalling so we couldn't go walking in the Dales. We were warmly welcomed by the owner of the B&B. The room was spacious and spotless. The only criticism is...

We stayed at Rockwood House for one night and had no problems at all. The room was very pleasant and tastefully decorated and the bathroom facilities were very clean. The breakfast was very good and the owners were chatty and friendly. The village has two good pubs which are both within walking distance of the Rockwood, and both serve food.... More

The room that was described as "en suite" was actually a double room with the corner partiti oned off - not even enclosed up to the ceiling which contained a tiny wash basin, toilet and shower. The shower cubicle sliding doors didn't open very wide so access was difficult, even for an average sized person. There was no ventilation in... More
