Lovely staff but was unaware that the place is not ‘manned’ at night which made me feel a little vulnerable The meal options were ok but very ‘pub food’ which is fine so long as you know that beforehand On a positive note lovely room and convenient location but WiFi not great

We really enjoyed our stay at The Black Hat. Tony was an amazing host and nothing was too much trouble; from his friendly welcome to help with car parking. Ilkley is a lovely quaint town with great shops, restaurants and bars.
