ffjeanee:“It is necessary to go there. It is indeed very historic. It is free for those under 17 years old. Students over 18 years old can buy student tickets. It is better to make an appointment one day in advance. We made an appointment when we arrived and found that we could enter more than an hour later. At that time, a certain pig was cheaper, but it was later, so we chose Ctrip to place an order. It is necessary to make an appointment one day in advance.”
M43***62:“There are some nice walks to be had along the riverside in Ilkley and the paths on the “town side” of the river are of hard construction and therefore clean.
We enjoyed our stroll on a bright morning, but I feel that the area here is a little underwhelming and not as attractive as the riverside in nearby Otley.”

TheForkUser:“Lovely service, lovely food. Should be clearer that it's in a (superb) retirement village, we're happy with that and will be back, but might not be for everyone”
TheForkUser:“We had a family gathering, reflecting on the loss of a family member. The ambience and quality of environment at the Cow and Calf were excellent and we were seated at a lovely table. Each of us enjoyed our meals which were well-presented and delicious. The service was generally great. Coffees and drinks, however, were served so violently that they banged down loudly on the table and the coffees all slopped into their saucers. So extreme that it was comic, I actually laughed out loud, but this didn’t spoil our experience.”
健康美丽的芳芳:“the moody cow llkley, the takeaway from this restaurant is very simple, there is really nothing special about it. Several of their dishes are a bit spicy, so don't order it if you can't eat spicy food.”
