Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Craiglands Hotel in Ilkley often impresses guests with its spacious rooms, sometimes described as extra-large, and comfortable features like the amazing blackout curtains and very comfy beds. Many appreciate the large bathrooms and the convenience of having tea and coffee facilities in the room, along with the spaciousness of the building itself. It's generally considered good value for money and conveniently located only 5 minutes by foot from Ilkley and Ilkley Moor, though a few guests have mentioned that the Brasserie1 restaurant wasn't open as expected and the Antler bar might close earlier than advertised. Guests also enjoyed a great choice selection on the evening menu, a decent breakfast in the morning, and plentiful parking.

the staff were wonderful and very cute. the food was more than excellent with great evening meals and breakfast. the bedding, mattress and pillows were fantastic, and the rooms are large, we loved that.
from the 2nd floor, i had to go out onto the landing and descend some stairs. I then went up some steep stairs. i think craiglands should work to accurately reflect the layout of the hotel.
