Crowded dining room one evening resulted in slower service and maybe not quite-as-excellent meals. Easily avoided by dining a bit earlier of later.

Received a warm welcome and such care from staff who located a 3-prong plug (I had forgotten to pack) and tailored meals to be gluten-free. I highly recommend the Cow and Calf. Phenomenal view of the moor and rock formation.

Drinks at the bar were expensive. Location was remote, so we didn't fee l confident driving back there in the dark.

Nice breakfast. Decent room. Handy location for Ilkley Moor.

Great location and great views - despite wind and rain. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Good sized bedroom.

Dogs welcome in the bar but not in room. We chose a basic room and to have our dog in there would have been perfect. There was nothing a dog could ruin. Disappointing amount of storage… only one small draw at foot height. No bedside draws …. Just a small table. Wardrobe/hanging area very modern…. That was great but I front of the full length mirror. Once your clothes hung up, mirror not accessible.

Unusually positioned in the thick of Ilkley Moors. Fantastic views. Lovely Sunday lunch. Plenty of parking. Nice sized bathroom with powerful shower. Very relaxed atmosphere in bar area. Great deals ‘on the app’ for discounted food. Comfy bed and pillows.

Lovely Inn with a great setting. Spotlessly clean and beds very comfortable. Great fires in bar and restaurant too and friendly staff. Excellent value for money.

Just two things that would have made the stay even better, air conditioning and a lift. Having said this , these two extras could possibly distract from the character of this Dales Inn and restaurant.

Friendly, helpful staff who gave us a warm welcome. Our room was well equipped, extremely clean with a super large bed and modern furniture and lighting. Definitely recently modernised with a brand new bathroom with good shower. The food in the dining room was freshly prepared with a good choice considering every dish was cooked to order and was delivered piping hot. A comprehensive drinks menu with good quality wines at a reasonable price. Breakfast was again cooked to order with a great choice. Overall a great night’s stay on the edge of the Cow & Calf famous .

Room 11 had a toilet roll holder, which was almost at floor level. Not a concern for me, but elderly people may find it very difficult to access easily.

Very clean, comfortable room. Lovely bar area with exceptional array of drinks. Very friendly and helpful staff.

My meal, was very good, except not quite as described, just a little niggle carrots were described as being glazed with thyme I didn’t find any, and my breakfast tomatoes were not cherry tomatoes, I don’t mind changes when I am informed about them ,also the shower in our room was difficult to work, we did report it. There was one member of staff that made the stay perfect it was Kerry, keep her whatever you do, she is a gem and staff like her are very hard to find Carol Brooks

Food was fab service, very good and efficient

The room had a small, high window so was a bit gloomy but lovely outlook across the moor

Really lovely breakfast. Quiet and comfortable and nice ambiance in the bar/restaurant for dinner

Would have liked an alternative to Sourdough bread. Neither of us like it. Far too tough. A choice between white or granary bread would have been better. Actually spoilt my husband's breakfast. We talked amongst our friends and all agreed that the trend towards serving Sourdough bread is annoying. We accepted the offer of Ciabatta as an alternative but that was out of a desire for some bread with our meal. We even considered bringing our own loaf with us and asking them to toast it

Breakfast selection was very impressive. Cooked beautifully.
