Claire C and I stayed at the Rombalds the night before we started walking on the Dales Way. The hotel was nice and very comfortable. It has the option to have breakfast included with your stay and I very much encourage you to take up that option. The eggs with lox on a English muffin is a great way to start any day. The eggs were tender and the muffin soft as a down pillow.
We stayed in one of the suites and had a sitting room which would have been great had I needed to catch up on my correspondence, however, after traveling all the way from Colorado in the USA I was mostly interested in the bed which was highly satisfactory.
Word of warning, for anyone taking the train to Ilkley with a large suit case, the hotel is at the top of a hill and wheeling your bag up there may be too much for all but the hardiest of souls. You may want to take a cab. read more
