The Cow and Calf in Ilkley can look after all your seasonal food, drink and accommodation requirements. We have ample car parking, a great pub restaurant menu that is available all day, one of the best cask ale and wine ranges in the area and some of the most welcoming and distinctive accommodation.
Once a celebrated spa hotel in the 19th century, our distinctive inn overlooks the famous Cow & Calf rock formation on dramatic Ilkley Moor. It's a panoramic place to wine, dine, relax and rest up overnight.
In 1844, the country's first hydropathic hotel, The Benrhydding was built on the site of The Cow and Calf. In 1873 the building became a private residence called Highfield House, then in 1949 it became a boarding house. When visiting The Cow and Calf, look out for great views across Wharfedale and historic features, like the old Victorian well that still sits in the grounds.
