Facebook Westwood Lodge Ilkley Moor Country House Apartments and Cottages: "! The snow may have gone but the Ice Cube is back in Leeds City Centre. We're getting our skates on for outdoor ice skating. It's great fun for all ages and abilities. 1200 sq. m of real ice with a nursery rink and 'Penguin' aids. When you've had enough there's a fully heated rink-side café. If you've got young children, go for the early sessions. Weekend sessions from mid morning are wilder! See you there!"

The Top Places to Eat and Drink, as chosen by YOU!

Emporio Italia, Railway Road - friendly place with a true Italian feel. No longer open in the evening.
Quinta - Mediterranean cuisine - Wells Road
The Vine off main car park - small and friendly Italian
The Swan (Addingham) - great reviews! The best of the surviving Addingham pubs
The Timble Inn, Timble - 20 minute drive but beautifully restored village pub - now almost totally food focused
La Casita - now on Cunliffe Road - top quality (but salty!) Spanish-style tapas
Betty's Tea Rooms, The Grove - expensive, but the crowds just keep coming!
The Wheatley Arms, Ben Rhydding - great food , especially the Early Bird menu
Friends of Ham - Wells Road - sharing platters
The Angel, Hetton - not cheap, but worth driving there and splashing out!
Bistro Pierre at The Crescent Inn, Brook Street - popular buzzing place with great bar
The Box Tree, Church Street - If only a lapsed Michelin star will meet your needs - you must go!
The Veggie - daytime only though
Bah't at Ale and Wine Bar, Cunliffe Road - much more of an ale house than a wine bar!
Joel's Bar and Kitchen (was Host) - latest Monkman venture run by Chris's son Joel
Pranzos - moved from Ben Rhydding to the main car park in Ilkley
The Ilkley Cow, New Brook Street - replaced long-time favourite Farsyde
Pizza Express, Ilkley Station - it's a chain, but for families, it's hard to beat!
