I remember when I was a little girl with my Mum & Dad living with my Aunt, Miss Sarah Metcalfe, who owned the Dyneley House Hotel. It had a tennis court & there was a stream at the bottom of the garden.
Reluctantly she sold the Hotel, probably due to a fall in visitors. The other Hotels in Skipton were licenced, she didn't wish to work longer hours catering for revellers as she was getting older. What a shame to lose such a building. That's progress!

I remember there was a sign at the front which read 'Dyneley House Temperance Hotel' or something similar. I often wondered what temperance meant.

This was the residence of mill owner JB Dewhurst in the 19th century. He later moved to Aireville on the death of the owner: solicitor and banker, Henry Alcock.

My grandmother (who was walking with her pack-donkey to Scotland) stayed here, Dyneley House Private Hotel, Skipton, on 18th August 1923. The Devonshire Arms was full up because the next day was Show Day. In her diary she wrote, "Dyneley House is comfortable and run by very kindly people." She had a musical evening with guests and their friends.

Walking down Newmarket street, looking in one window of the old dyneley house hotel, you could see the set of call bells, with springs and rope bell pulls. Showed its age perfectly.

My great aunt worked there for many years after the first world war. Her name was Cissie Billington. She moved to Skipton some time before 1911. I met her in about 1968 with one of the Miss Carrs. By that time the hotel had been demolished but I have a photograph of her standing in front of the building holding a cat!

My Grandmother was a Dyneley, and as a child I remember my Great Aunts, her sisters, telling me that this house was once owned by the family - a long time ago! Would love to visit one day. Is it still running?
