About
This grand Victorian hotel nestles in mature, landscaped grounds, 5 minutes away from Ilkley town centre and Ilkley train station and 29 minute rail link to Leeds.
The Craiglands Hotel is less than 10 minutes walk from the famous 'Cow and Calf Rocks' and ideal for a short break in the Yorkshire Dales. With superb views of the Moors from the hotel and yet only 9 miles (14.4 km) from Leeds/Bradford Airport, the Craiglands Hotel retains many features that made it one of the country's leading 'hydropathic' hotels in the Victorian era. Today it combines modern comforts with a warm, friendly welcome. Privately owned, traditional values of hospitality hold strong with the emphasis on courtesy and service.
The newly refurbished Brasserie 1 and adjoining Bar, both have French windows with access out onto a Terrace enjoying views over the Moors.
The Craiglands is very well located close to Ilkley town centre with its attractive tree-lined boulevard and elegant shops.
