Nice hotel at the start of The Dales Way

Clean, easy check in and nice goodies in the fridge. Big bathroom.

Not much.

Comfortable, stylish, well-priced

10.0

A great unexpected find, this place. Just wanted one night near relatives, and it was well-priced for July. And it's lovely! Not just comfortable but stylish/boutique; immaculately clean, quiet (the downstairs closes at 10); very centrally placed. Very generous (continental) breakfast in room provided. Staff are LOVELY, very obliging.

Street noise - but it goes with being that central.

Nice place, give it a try

7.0

The room was very nice. It had everything that was needed including a fan/aircon! And it was clean. The staff member who took me to the room was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is a hamper with lots of choice of cereal, fruit, yoghurt etc.

The room would have been quiet, except for a certain World Cup fixture that night - this wasn't the fault of the pub - however do be aware that this IS a pub and will be showing live sporting events. I got the fresh milk out of the fridge for my cereal in the morning and it was off - no idea whether it was already like that, or if the fridge wasn't coping with the heat (although it was cold whenever I had opened it) It was early so I couldn't find anyone to ask for a replacement, not a major problem for me though as I had the instant porridge instead.

Great facilities and location, confusing interactions with staff.

8.0

Excellent location smack in the heart of Ilkley. Conveniently near restaurants, shops, and the start of the Dales Way. Well-appointed room with comfy bed, tea/coffee facilities, and a pleasant en-suite bathroom. During the warm weather, it was nice to have a fan available, and the option to swap the heavy duvet for a lighter sheet made for better sleep than we might otherwise have had.

Staff seemed confused at check-in, almost as if they hadn't anticipated guests. The kitchen is no longer in operation, so there was no option of a cooked breakfast. Although a generously stocked in-room breakfast hamper was provided, we'd have preferred that this be communicated ahead of time. Further confusion on morning of departure, when staff knocked on our door to say our baggage transfer service needed our bags half an hour before the agreed-upon time (which turned out not to be the case), resulting in our hastily packing up.

Clean rooms, very cosy

Breakfast seems no longer to be as on the pictures. Breakfast basket in room now.
