Having been invited to a wedding in Skipton with the reception at Denton Hall, we decided to make a long weekend of it and booked 3 nights at the Wheatley. We arrived Thursday lunchtime and were shown to our room by very pleasant staff who assisted with our bags. The room, number 2, was quite small and the bathroom is... More

Three of us meet up approximately six weekly for lunch. The menu is plentiful and changes regularly. Food always fresh, tasty and well presented. Staff always very friendly. The decor is lovely as the pub is divided into areas all of which have different decor/colour schemes.

Booked 6 weeks ago for dinner as we had been recommended by several people. When we arrived we were told we would be taken to our table but there could be a delay as they were really busy. I asked the waitress to quantify 'delay' and she seemed really upset that I should even question her. She said by the... More

Given that my husband had booked the Wheatley Arms (I'm usually the family events organiser), I approached our stay with a little apprehension....a midweek one night B and B whilst in Ilkley to dine at The Box Tree. We arrived mid afternoon and were greeted by a very friendly and helpful member of staff who showed us to our room... More

I've just returned from my 3rd visit to the Wheatley Arms with my family. Although I'm really fond of the Wheatley and there are many more positives than negatives, there was room for improvement on this visit. The service was rather chaotic and slow at lunch and dinner, with different groups of people being approached several times with food that... More

thank you so much for taking the time to post a review, I will certainly look in to the fire situation we do normally have at least two lit! So please be rest assured they will be lit in future! And that could be quite a while judging by the weather last year! We look forward to seeing you again... More

Stayed here for 2 nights to visit a local Michelin Star restaurant which was my Christmas present from my husband. Hotel is slightly outside of Ilkley - about a 20 min walk or 3 mins on the train which is a few mins walk away so being outside the town was not a problem. Our room was very spacious and... More

We booked this hotel as we were visiting a local Michelin starred restaurant and it seemed to just fit the bill. As we were splashing the cash on the restaurant, we decided to upgrade to a luxury room. In the event, we felt that the upgrade was a waste of money. We were allocated room 12 and were very disappointed.... More
