Lovely place

Fab New Years Stay in Ilkley

Lovely, cosy apartment which is close to the centre of Ilkley and all its amenities. Many walks over the moor direct from the door, we didn’t use our car once during our stay! The apartment had everything we needed and our host was super-helpful with local suggestions. Lots of dog-friendly shops, bars and restaurants (try Brooks - fab food) in town made this a perfect stay.

Delightful gem

We had a wonderful stay at the Firs, it was perfect for the two of us. The warm welcome and explanation of the apartment was amazing and the cleanliness and amazingly comfortable bed were perfect after a long flight. Although our visit was mostly consumed visiting new grand children we were pleased by the short proximity to Ilkley restaurants and pubs and all the hiking and biking we didn't partake in but would be ideal for other guests. We'll be back!

Really beautiful apartment in a fantastic location. Easy walk down to the river or up to the moor. We arrived by train and had no trouble walking from the station. Apartment was well equipped and the host was lovely, came to welcome us when we arrived as well as leaving a welcome basket for us and for the dog. All the small details were taken care of. Couldn't ask for more!

Perfect stay in Ilkley

This property was perfect for our needs- visiting family in Ilkley and exploring the beautiful area. We have stayed here twice in the last few weeks and have already booked again for July. The apartment was well laid out and equipped with ample living area looking out onto the outside sitting area and lawn. The apartment Is very private with it’s own entrance and parking space but Judith, the host was available if we had any queries. It was well decorated and comfortable. The cake and tea tray on arrival was very welcome. The apartment is minutes walking distance to the centre of Ilkley and all it’s lovely shops and coffee shops. We’re looking forward to our next stay already!

Wonderful Apartment

We had a lovely stay in this wonderful apartment. So clean and comfortable with everything you need, and do nice to have the garden area to enjoy. Great location for getting out and about and only a short walk into Ilkley. Judith was very helpful and left some lovely brownies for us on arrival along, with an assortment of teas and coffee, and milk and water in the fridge.

Pleasant property in the converted basement of a large house. The apartment is lovingly tended by Judith, there was cake & fresh flowers waiting for us on arrival and everything you could need was provided. Judith is a very considerate host & we had a great week.

Lovely week in Ilkley

We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. It is ideal for two. Great location. Ilkley is a charming town, and lots of places can easily be reached for day trips. We were made very welcome and there were some very nice touches, such as a homemade banana cake and some flowers. Everything was beautifully clean, which is so important just now. I hope very much that we will be able to return when more places are open again.
