Lovely place to stay in Ilkley

A great place to stay, Judith was a friendly host, flat was well equipped, and clean. Ideal location, 10 minutes walk into town and a very short drive to the moors. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend.

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!

Always a Pleasure to Visit The Firs Apartment, Ilkley

Our second visit to the apartment and an absolute delight to meet Judith again and stay in this gorgeous home from home. It is perfectly located for walking into Ilkley, which has a FAB choice of shops/restaurants/bars, etc., plus a bus stop almost outside the apartment for the bus into Harrogate/Skipton. Mustn't forget train station within easy walking distance for trips to Leeds. Apartment is equipped with everything you'd wish for, pretty decor, plenty of hot water for shower and much more. Excellent night's sleep in a comfy bed. Really didn't want to leaveWe certainly hope for a third visit in the not too distant future to the apartment and Ilkley.

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!
