"It’s important to note that there is actually no One to help on property. It’s a secured entrance with keypad and a 24 hour phone service to help if needed. We did not find that to be an issue. The rooms were clean and roomy, and amenities in room were very nice (iron, refrigerator, hair dryer). Location to the city square was absolutely perfect! Literally a 3 minutes walk. We will return to this hotel and definitely stay longer! 2 thumbs up!!"

The Craiglands Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

8/10 Good
"We have stayed here a few times while visiting family. On this occasion when we arrived there was no one on reception to greet you, there was a bell to press and after a short while someone arrived. Check in all ok, staff helpful. Our standard room was quite large with all usual facilities. Room was clean and tidy. Bathroom consisted of bath with shower (and toilet). Breakfast was good with plenty of choice of cereals, fruit, juices, tea, coffee and cooked (buffet style) etc. The staff in the restaurant were very pleasant, especially on the first morning we were there. We did not eat in the hotel for dinner (note they do not serve meals on a Sunday or Monday night). Only slight issue we had was that our key cards did not work on two occasions and had to go back down to reception to sort out. Ample free car parking available on site. Hotel is situated about 10 minute walk from Ilkley where there are shops and restaurants. Overall nice stay. Thank you."
