Great Little Breaks. Skipton Hotel
Great Little Breaks rep on the phone was very helpful when having difficulty booking.
Hotel was great. Good position although just outside Skipton. Bus stop right outside. Beautiful views and minutes to countryside. Ideal for walkers or non walkers.
Fabulous breakfast and evening meal good. Room clean and serviced even on two nights stay. All staff very efficient, friendly and helpful.

Excellent value in good hotels.
Excellent value in good hotels with sensible included meals. Have booked many Great Little Breaks and never been disappointed. This one in Salisbury was no exception - nice hotel on the river overlooking the cathedral and only 10 minute walk to the city centre. Also impressed with customer service. Would definitely recommend.

New Year Break
Nice hotel, good room, nice food.
However, some of what was promised when we booked the hotel through you, was not provided. We paid you for Lunch on 30/12/25. But this was not provided. Free bubbly at midnight on 31/12/25 was paid for, but not provided.
Maintenance was poor. The primary light source in our room (standard lamp) was not working. We reported it immediately requesting a replacement light bulb. By the time we left on day three, still no action had been taken.

Hi Andrea,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the hotel, your room and the food — but we’re truly sorry that some of the things you weren’t as expected during your stay.
For this package, a three course dinner was included on the 30th, but lunch wasn’t part of the offer. I really hope the hotel were able to help with this for you in the evening.
The package also included drinks and canapés on New Year’s Eve. While this didn’t specify midnight service, we do hope you were still able to enjoy your drink and canapé on the night.
We’re also very sorry to hear about the maintenance issue that wasn’t resolved — this is absolutely not the experience we want for our guests. We’ve already shared your comments with the hotel team so they can look into what went wrong and take steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
We really do appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’d love the chance to put things right. If you’d like us to look into this further, please feel free to email us at customerservices@greatlittlebreaks.com — we’re always happy to help.
Thank you,
Kind regards,
Lauren

Booked the Blenheim Palace Christmas…
Booked the Blenheim Palace Christmas lights break with 2 nights at the Villiers hotel Buckingham with minced pie and mulled wine on arrival and a three course Christmas dinner on the first night as we had done this package 3 years ago and it was a great break. On arrival this time there was no minced pie or mulled wine, we were told we had a £30 allowance for our evening meal which was not even enough for a 2 course meal. Our hotel room was above the arched entrance to the hotel courtyard parking and at 6 o'clock on the 1st morning we were awoken by a delivery using metal wheeled cages going over the cobbled type surface. The food was good. Left the feedback with Great Little Breaks but had no reply explanation.

Good Afternoon Philip,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t meet the expectations set by your previous visit.
We appreciate you letting us know that the food quality was good, but we completely understand that the overall experience fell short of what was advertised and what you enjoyed before.
We sincerely apologise that we haven’t yet responded to your feedback—this is not the level of service we aim to provide.
We’re currently preparing a festive recap and reviewing all feedback we’ve received to ensure we learn and improve. I’ve asked our admin team to forward your comments so we can look into this as a priority and provide you with a proper response.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and for your patience while we work on resolving this. We truly value your feedback and hope to restore your confidence in booking with us.

Customer services let this company down
Customer services either do not reply to queries or are very slow to respond to queries. When they do email back they do not answer the question properly, prompting more emails, which are then not answered.
