    Plug in my washbasin was broken. Not impressed with the food although the battered fish was great.

    Hotel is in a really lovely part of Ilkley. By the river with plenty of walks . Open spaces at the side with a children's playground. Plenty of outside places to sit and have a drink or a meal. Staff very helpful and friendly.

    The water pressure in the shower was low which is probably more a local body supply issue given the unusually hot summer weather in 2025.

    Breakfast was excellent in every way including the coffee. Our room was spacious, quiet and the bed firm and very comfortable. Dinner in the evening was also very good. The staff and owners welcoming, kind and always helpful. The location is superb. Situated alongside the River Wharfe and it's lovely riverside park and only a short walk away from interesting historical sites, main street shopping or eateries in Ilkley and the train station.

    Pillows were really hard but that might be me preferring softer ones

    Excellent location, close to the river and walking distance to Ilkley. Room was comfy with a small but fully functional ensuite. Breakfast was huge and very good.

    We had a room at the very top of the house so our legs were worn out 🤣

    It served as a very good base for our stay in the Dales.

    The car park is shared with "jo public" and gets full at times. The rear outside bar area was a bit grubby and needs a good thorough deep clean. No fruit available at breakfast

    Nothing I didn’t like, but we booked last minute and got a room on top floor. Little bit small but clean and well equipped. Off you have mobility issues make sure you get a room on the lower floors.

    Location parking staff were fantastic, couldn’t have been more helpful lovely outside seating area for the bar overlooking the river. Excellent breakfast. Didn’t have evening meal there.
