Location and Access

Located on a quiet road in Ben Rhydding, a residential area of Ilkley, The Wheatley Arms is a five-minute walk uphill from the train station and just over 1 mile from the spa town of Ilkley. The hotel is beneath the Cow and Calf rock formation on Ilkley Moor. Ilkley, a Victorian spa town with boutiques and a Bettys tearoom, is one stop on the train. Landmarks nearby include Church Of St Margaret (2.5 km), White Wells (2 km), and Ilkley Moor Cow and Calf Rocks (1 km). Leeds Bradford Airport is 20 km away.

Hotel Services

The Wheatley Arms has flexible event space. Profile data includes purchases or orders made by guests, interests, preferences, feedback, and survey responses. Guests have a choice about whether to take part. The number of times that a banner ad is displayed and the number of times it is clicked is tracked. There is an onsite restaurant.

“The Wheatley Arms strikes me as a genuine community hub with its live music and quiz nights, appealing to families and those with pets. Its individually decorated rooms and focus on local produce for the full English breakfast suggest a commitment to quality. While some reported noise issues and Wi-Fi connectivity problems during their stays, I see it as a charming base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales.”
