Taking centre stage in the heart of the spa town of Ilkley in the Yorkshire Dales, The Crescent is an iconic building dating back to 1860. The curved walls wrap around a more modern interior which mingles effortlessly with its rich heritage. The collection of boutique bedrooms and suites are more elegant than showy and for those with a discerning palate, dining at Bistrot Pierre injects a certain je ne sais quoi into your stay with its French inspired menu.

While the setting is a sophisticated space, the French artwork and friendly service create a laid-back atmosphere where you don’t have to put on any airs and graces. The Head Chef rustles up French-style dishes that are inspired by the seasons, and as much passion and attention to detail goes into the presentation as the explosive flavours.

If you love nothing better than cosying up by a roaring open fire (with your favourite tipple in hand) and relaxing with friends after a day exploring the Yorkshire Dales, The Crescent Pub is the perfect pit stop. Picture traditional wooden floors, handcrafted furniture and top-quality ales to boot. And did we mention you can tuck into plates of hearty, homecooked food too? Heaven!

Set inside The Crescent there’s a collection of boutique bedrooms and suites, each dressed in calming shades and kitted out with the comfiest king size beds draped in sumptuous Egyptian cotton sheets. You’ll find everything you need for the perfect stay, from Freeview television and tea and coffee making facilities to bathrooms stocked with luxury toiletries.

The Crescent makes the ideal base for exploring the shops, tea rooms and restaurants in the market town of Ilkley. The surrounding Yorkshire countryside is particularly beautiful, and the dramatic landscape of Ilkley Moor lends itself to pony trekking and walking.
