Stayed a few times and host (Tony) is fantastic- great breakfast. Sadly won’t be staying again as being taken over by a shambles of a company who have made Tony redundant - SHAMBLES!

8/10 Very good

An exceptional hotel room above a busy pub. The room had everything we needed and was large and comfortable for a family of 4. We loved the hamper with breakfast treats and the fridge in the room. The coffee machine and fan were a treat. The only negatives I can think of are that its very noisy, which even though we knew it was above a pub, we didn’t expect it to be as loud as it was. It was karaoke night but the sound proofing is non existent, luckily we were shattered so dropped off pretty easily in the comfy beds, but just to be mindful of if you are a light sleeper or have children with you. The car parking is also a little confusing … on this site it says it’s £6 for 24 hours on the carpark behind the pub which is not true. It was £1.50 an hour up until 10pm we then had to go back the next morning at 8am to pay again for more hours….This was misleading on this website. Other than that we did have an enjoyable stay and Ilkley is delightful.
