A large, lavishly furnished hotel on the edge of Ilkley Moor with spectacular views over Ilkley and near the famous Cow & Calf rocks from which the establishment takes its name. In 1844, the country's first hydropathic hotel, The Benrhydding was built on the site and then, in 1873, the building became a private residence called Highfield House which subsequently became a boarding house in 1949. The primary focus is on dining but those just wanting a drink are also welcome. It is popular with those coming specifically for meals and also with those visiting or walking the nearby moors. The ground floor has a semi-open plan format with the a central bar area and rooms for dining to either side. The upstairs function room is used primarily for meetings. For those wanting to stay in one of the 13 rooms, check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 12pm.
