Fabulous Spot!
We loved this centrally located historic pub! The lovely assistant manager Emma was kind and welcoming from the start. We had a gorgeous big room overlooking the 'beer garden', plenty of hot water, and included breakfasts that were traditional and delicious. We highly recommend this spot for price, comfort, location and outstanding friendly staff. (Also many many different kinds of gin to choose from!) 😀 we loved it!

Excellent stay.
Excellent stay. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived till we left. A very pet friendly hotel, the staff went out of their way to please the dogs as much as us. Food was excellent we loved the breakfast. Ample parking in the public car park. We would recommend and hopefully we will return.

Nice, clean room and bathroom. Great breakfast, best rasher of bacon I've had in years. One problem: it was very noisy until late, boxing match being broadcast in the bar below and then people in the street at chucking out time. In all, good VFM

Black Hat parking
Can access back of Black Hat thru beer garden if parking in main Ilkley car park. Be aware that this car park now has evening charges - make sure you don’t get caught out 👀.
