Bolton Abbey 5 miles; Skipton 9 miles.
The old Spa town of Ilkley is the pivotal town of Wharfedale, undoubtedly the most popular of all the Yorkshire Dales. The area offers some of the most spectacular and unspoilt scenery in the land. For the walker it gives unrivalled tramping ground. High up on the moors next to the white-walled cottage of White Wells (where once donkeys carried gout-ridden gentlemen to be doused in the icy-cold moorland spring) visitors will see a carefully landscaped Victorian scene including two semi-artificial lakes and the river Wharfe meandering through the centre of the town. Ilkley still has a Victorian and Edwardian feel to it. Splendid shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés adorn the tree-lined streets. Bettys, without doubt the finest tea shop in Yorkshire, and therefore the world, is situated on The Grove. Lovely parkland, boating on the river and family picnic areas provide pleasure for all. It is the starting point of the 84 mile-long 'Dales Way' walk, which is breathtakingly beautiful! Nearby Bolton Abbey is one of the region's most scenic areas and the walk along the river to the 'Strid' is a must. Ilkley Moor is the subject of Yorkshire's unofficial anthem “On Ilkla Moor Baht at”.

Previous visitors' comments about Leyfield Barn:
We had a wonderful, relaxing holiday in this gorgeous cottage. In a beautiful and peaceful situation, away from it all, but still close enough to Ilkley. We will definitely return!
Mrs York, Tunbridge Wells, April 2013
I particularly liked the location and the lovely couple who owned it who were very helpful with travel and advice on where to go eat. The cleanliness of the property was outstanding!

Very relaxing - nice accommodation and comfortable bedrooms. Adequate heating, even in winter. Good space and owners were very pleasant but not obtrusive. Cant wait to return in February if available. Instructions to property were excellent!
