Stunning views over Ilkley. The facilities are great, fully equipped kitchen, except for one of the dishwashers, which was broken which we could have done with having the use with a party of 24. Plenty of fridges. The lift was also not working, which would have been ideal for the elderly guests, great shame! The children (aged 3) absolutely loved the play room and the craft room. The beds were comfortable in the en suite bedrooms, some stunning bedrooms. Bar was great with fully size snooker and pool table. Really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub looking out at the views.

The property is absolutely stunningâspacious, well-designed, and maintained to a high standard. The decor was elegant yet comfortable, making it feel like a true home away from home. The bedrooms were large and beautifully appointed, each with its own unique charm. The living areas were perfect for both relaxing and entertaining, with plenty of space for our group to spread out. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to easily prepare meals, and we particularly enjoyed the large dining area for our family dinners. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space. The back gardens were beautifully landscaped, providing a great place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The additional amenities, like hot tubs, the game (snooker) room , play room, were a huge hit with everyone, especially the kids. If I had to point out one area for improvement, it would be the Wi-Fi signal, which was a bit weak in some parts of the house. However, this was a minor issue in an otherwise perfect stay. Overall, we had a luxurious and memorable experience at this mansion. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special getaway, and we would love to return in the future. Thank you to the hosts for providing such a wonderful property for our holiday!
