A very enjoyable break in a good, well kept & run hotel. Lovely stay in the bridal suite with it's own balcony. A good evening meal & the most striking point was the very friendly & helpful manner of ALL of the staff we came into contact with. Worthy of note we feel as you do not always receive such... More

I think any bar needs to strike the right balance between encouraging families and well behaved children, and turning into Wacky Warehouse. Today was Wacky Warehouse with 4 or 5 children screaming and running around the whole building whilst oblivious parents and powerless staff looked on. The mass exodus of customers was quite significant. A bar in Ilkley went down... More

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
