Book Directly With US! – Our cottages and apartments can also be found on well-known booking sites. We do this because they have wider advertising reach than we could ever achieve. Booking through them is fine – but dealing directly online with us here gives you:-

Yorkshire Dales Country House, Holiday Cottages and Apartments at Westwood Lodge Ilkley Moor

Combine the peace and beauty of the countryside with an upmarket spa town, without having to drive to the middle of nowhere!

Consistently rated as Ilkley’s top accommodation
Each cottage and apartment has its own individual design and décor, with top quality furnishings, fabrics and fittings.

Leave the car at home
Our gates open directly onto Ilkley Moor, yet the centre of Ilkley is just a 10 minute walk away where the station has four trains every hour from Leeds and Bradford.

Ideal for shopping in Ilkley
High class shops, elegant tea rooms and a wide selection of great pubs and restaurants (including Michelin starred). There’s a superb outdoor lido (from May to September – currently closed), floodlit tennis courts, playground and skateboard park.

Ideal for the outdoors – GENUINELY on Ilkley Moor
We are situated on the very edge of the world famous Ilkley Moor (other places claim to be – check they’ve got an LS29 postcode!) with over 1000 acres of Open Access moorland outside our gates for you to enjoy.  Great  for walking, climbing, horse riding and mountain biking.  The official anthem of Yorkshire is the song “On Ilkley Moor Bah’t ‘at”.

Ideal for business meetings and temporary relocations
Just 25 minutes by frequent train into Leeds city centre, 15 minutes drive from Leeds Bradford Airport and 30 minutes by car to the motorway network

Ideal for Yorkshire attractions
Four local golf courses, fly fishing in the Wharfe, horse riding stables and more gardens, animal farms, steam railways and other attractions than could be visited in a week! The heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Brontë Country are all nearby, as are the locations used to film Emmerdale, taking you through historic villages with country pubs, local crafts and a traditional friendly welcome.
