Lovely location, great for walks , rectly refurbished insidside. Food and service very good, friendly staff, my only concern was our room was small with very little storage space although adequate for overnight stay, other rooms much larger with all the lights outside in the evening it looked very pretty. Well worth a visit

This is a lovely hotel, conveniently located and run by a fantastic set of people. The place is spotless. The food is great, unpretentious and tasty. I felt comfortable on my own in the bar and I would recommend it without hesitation.

As the name suggests a lovely hotel right on the Riverside. Ideally placed to start our Dales way walk. Clean spacious room . Fan provided by owner, to cool us down on a very hot night. Excellent evening meal on outside terrace, Full English breakfast before starting the walk. Excellent value

I have been to this pub many many times and the food is top quality. I am a regular there and it is convenient for me to just pop along. The staff are professional and caring. Christine is especially friendly. I would recommend it to anybody. We had an excellent time on Father's Day, and my dad and my sister said they enjoyed the fantastic food, drinks etc. If you live or work close to Ilkley, this is the perfect place to go.
