Cottage vacation rentals in Ilkley

We had a wonderful stay at Greg's home. Ray, who showed us round gave us the perfect welcome and explained everything to us. The photos looked fantastic but it's even more beautiful in person. Amazing facilities, very clean, and every single bedroom was lovely. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need to cook a big meal, there was a huge supply of tea and coffee and they even provided milk and biscuits! The hot tub was a welcome addition, incredibly well maintained, worked perfectly and lovely and warm by the time we came to use it. It's just the perfect home for entertaining. We visited as a family of six adults and thought it was brilliant, from the enormous TV to the boardgames and Sonos system. There was just so much room - perfect for small children too. The weather was awful but we didn't mind staying in because the house was so beautiful. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

If you like Quiet, clean, comfortable, walks, good village pub, every where an easy drive from Scotton….You will love this cottage. We had a lovely relaxing time here our Whippet loved it also. Holly & Alastair are excellent hosts, we would definitely recommend staying here.

We loved staying at Scarlett’s place. We had everything we needed and everything was so easy to use. Very responsive host and great for letting us know that the place was ready an hour early! Hot tub was nice and warm with great location and privacy. We went to travellers rest (10 min walk) and the food was so nice and big portion sizes for the price. We even went back later on for the Wednesday night quiz night! Overall great place and would definitely stay again. Thank you

Our second time at the gorgeous Preston Mill Loft and it was just as wonderful as we remember. Super dog friendly, the upgraded hot tub is IMMENSE, comfy bed, welcoming hosts, beautiful scenery, well stocked kitchen. The lot. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Fantastic little cottage, so quaint. Hot tub was amazing and easy to use. The bed was comfy, was just a wonderful place to spend my birthday weekend. It was easy to get to all the local attractions and the pubs in the village were lovely and the locals so friendly. We will definitely be back

We have just returned from a few nights away staying at this little piece of paradise. If you’re after a tranquil, relaxing holiday then this is the place to stay. From the house itself, to the spectacular views , the amazing pool house and the lovely, friendly neighbours, this place ticks all the boxes and more. Highly recommend visiting The Queens Arms for a meal (or just a cheeky drink), the staff are so friendly and just made our time away extra special. Malham is only a 20 min (ish) drive away and is stunning (a must see). The only thing I would advise is to make sure you take plenty of supplies (or do an online shop for delivery as we did) as the local shop is a 20min drive away. Thankyou again David, we will definitely be back.

Wonderfully peaceful location. Holly Toft is a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay. We paticularly appreciated how much care was given to ensuring the hot tub was spotlessly clean and freshly filled for our arrival. Kathryn is a superb host who clearly cares a lot about her guests. The field full of adorable lambs to look out on was a delightful bonus! Highly recommend! Thank you Kathryn.

Booked for our 20th wedding anniversary and used for a base to explore Skipton and a day out in York. Close enough to Skipton to enjoy the town and the night life. The Granary was immaculate. Hot Tub amazing and already planning a second visit. The location is stunning, peaceful and we enjoyed every minute .

Absolutely fantastic cottage. Nicely decorated and lovely furnishings. Great outdoor space with sun all day. The attention to detail was amazing. Everything you needed and more besides. The beat hosts ever. Thank you x

What a find ! A great place to stay in a quiet location near the woods which was great for our dog. The accommodation was spotless and had everything we need for our short break. The welcome pack was a bonus with information on things to do and places to eat which is great especially when you have a dog with you,The Alma inn had the best food! Jill is such a lovely welcoming host( but never intrudes ) and was quick to respond to any queries we had. We would definitely recommend a visit and will return someday.

Wow! What a fantastic place to stay. The cottage was a perfect haven for a relaxing holiday. The scenery was breathtaking, and we spent much of the time gazing out of the window at the dramatic weather and wildlife. We wished we could have stayed longer! And will recommend it to all our friends. Many thanks Sally, Kevin and Pippa 🐾

Lovely little cottage with fantastic views.

Delph Cottage is the most delightful, cosy, cottage. It is the perfect place to stay for a visit to Great Harwood, the surrounding towns, or to explore the beautiful local countryside or the Ribble Valley. Delph Cottage itself is beautifully presented and maintained. It remains in the same pristine condition as when I first stayed there three years ago. Instructions for all the appliances, plus heating, wi-fi, etc, are simple and easy to follow, and everything works perfectly. All the kitchenware (crockery, cutlery, utensils, glassware, etc) remain like new. The whole cottage is beautifully maintained, and I cannot praise or rate it highly enough. It is the most perfect place to stay. It was a privilege to stay there. I look forward to my next visit. Well done and thank you.

We were planning a few days away primarily to visit Saltaire and Salts Mill and this accommodation was perfectly sited! Everything you might need to get started is provided, fresh home-made bread included! (which was delicious) The views from all windows are stunning, a real place to get away from it all. The annexe was very cosy and warm with ample seating and a very large, comfortable bed! We also had a trip into Leeds by train (from Weeton Station) but there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied in the area.

Lovely stay right at the edge of the forest. Ideal location for quick access to nearby walks at Malham, etc. and good spot to relax in afterwards. We loved the pool table, games and cookable kitchen. Would stay again! If your dog gets easily spooked or defensive over people walking by on the public footpath, maybe consider other options. But proximity to the path is perfect for exploring the woods and walking into town for market days.

I think Rose Cottage might be the best holiday rental I've ever stayed in. Basically we felt instantly at home. The house is beautifully decorated and exceptionally well-equipped. (Need a softer pillow? No problem as there's a selection to choose from. Forgot your toothbrush? There are spares provided. In fact your every need seems to have been anticipated.) The views out from the main rooms and from the terraces are great, and we enjoyed our suppers on the lower terrace in warm June weather. And Fran is lovely - really helpful and she has loads of good tips for things to do, good places to eat, etc. It's a lovely area too, lots of good walking and stunning long views from up on the tops. Highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Waterwheel cottage. Great location with lovely hosts. Loads to do in and around Pately Bridge We were just 2 people, so it was very spacious. For those with an OS map, the cottage is at Tiplady Farm.

What a lovely, lovely place to stay and Amanda was so helpful. I will definitely try to book this place again - no doubts at all. 😊 Cozy, so close to everything, with the canal and a few excellent pubs and restaurants <5 minutes walk!

We had a great week in the Cow Byre.Beautiful cottage with wonderful views. Everything to a very high standard. Nigel & Clare wonderful hosts. Lots of great places nearby to visit. Highly recommended and will definitely return. Thanks Charlie & Teresa.

Judi’s cottage is perfect in every way. With high quality furnishings, it’s well presented, in excellent condition, spotlessly clean and in a very peaceful location. Whilst it’s close to the main house, the cottage has it’s own private entrance and garden space, with the hosts being very respectful of guest privacy. The gardens are amazing and a great place to unwind. The location of the cottage makes an ideal base for visiting the main attractions in North Yorkshire and beyond. We would be delighted to stay here again on our next visit to the area.

Me and my daughter had a lovely couple of days at Michelle’s place. Comfy beds, peaceful location and lots of lovely walks nearby. Would definitely recommend. Michelle was a great host and always answered any messages promptly. Thanks again.

We had a lovely stay at The Croft. The view was absolutely stunning and we had such a peaceful time. We loved the farm setting - lots of sheep and there was a horse that greeted us every morning. The Croft was very cosy. The host was very friendly and responsive and provided some good local recommendations. The road to get to the Croft was uneven but is only a minute long. The location is really good - nearby to Skipton and Haworth which were two lovely places to visit. Thank you Sam :) we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our weekend.

We had an amazing weekend at this cottage. It’s beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we could need. The surrounding area is stunning and perfect for walks. Highly recommend!

Lovely, well equipped property with lots of character. Tidy, peaceful back garden with comfortable outdoor furniture and BBQ. River on opposite side of road, Indian restaurant, Co Op and 2 pubs just a short stroll. Only 15mins drive from Malham Cove car park.
