A Perfect Day | A Day Out In Ilkley

 

Hello Everyone!

Today's post is a little different. Recently, I travelled up to Ilkley for the day. Red Spotted Hanky were promoting money off coupons for train journeys with £10 off vouchers so our travel expenditure didnt break the bank. Having never been there before I thought it would be great to try somewhere new and having checked the weather forecast it was going to be glorious! Oh how it was!

 

 

 

 

Ilkley isn't a very large place, a few lovely shops, a Wetherspoons pub and a Boots. However, this doesn't take away from how beautiful this little place really is. Ilkley is known for it's brilliant charity shops and there were so many of them. There were so many bargains to grab!

 

Ilkley was quiet when we visited. Our plans were simple- nip up there, have a little look around, see what it had had to offer, do a spot of shopping and then hunt down our favourite restaurant to tuck into a Sunday feast... I won't lie, we actually planned to visit Ilkley because of this restaurant! I know right, but it's just that good!

 

 

As you can see, we most certainly tucked in! We both love this place. the service was impeccable and the ambiance very pleasing. This 2 course meal was really great value for money because we went for the lunch time menu. Absolutely delicious!

 

 Of course, I dread to think how many calories we consumed in that one meal however, this was a special occasion for us and having more calorific foods occasionally really is okay! You have to enjoy yourself every now and again, you can't be calorie counting every day of the week. Instead, opt for this sort of meal occasionally, as you really will enjoy it more than having it every single day.

 

We even stumbled across the famous Betty's Tea Rooms. Being unquestionably expensive it's safe to say: readers we didn't hop inside! But look how adorable the mini cakes are. I have my eye on the lady bug, How about you?
