Stayed 2 nights (mon and weds) Very friendly , nice rooms with comfy beds. Excellent dinner particularly sea bass with Parmesan risotto. Bit disappointed with first breakfast - eggs royale - as poached egg was hard and muffin rather dry. However haddock with poached eggs(asked specially for soft yolks) was lovely second time. Bar and lounge seems very popular and busy, always a good sign. Would stay again and recommend to friends.
Could not ask for a better place to stay. Wonderful room with an amazing bath. Great staff with a lovely atmosphere and the food is great. Visit it 😃👍🌟

Having passed this place many times, I called in for a meal last night.
What a gem !. Ordered a pint of Taylors Best (Mary Jane and others also available). Was shown to a table, and ordered to start 'Confit duck and peanut spring rolls with a plum chutney' (£6.95) followed by one of their fish specials form the blackboard 'Salmon and Sea Bass fillets with asparagus and bearnaise sauce' (one of the more expensive options at £16.95).
Waitress came with bread, two nice thick pieces of rustic bread, one white one brown, and both butter and the olive oil /balsamic vinegar.
Whe the spring rolls came , there were four, rather over the top, as for a starter two would have been sufficient, and with a pile of crisp salad and the plum dressing as well. Delicious, I had no problem eating all four.
The fish main was also a delight, two small fillets each of sea bass and salmon, with a couple of asparagus spears, and some bearnaise sauce in a pot. A side dish of carrots and broccoli also presented.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
Bill £26.95. It was as I was paying that I realised that the Wheatley was also residential. Readers of my reviews will know I stay in the area two nights nearly every week (Mainly at Chevin Country Park Hotel Otley, or Rombalds in Ilkley or occasionally Harrgate or Knaresborough, see my reviews of these hotels) However when I asked about room rates, £80 B & B for a single to me is too much for what is essentially a pub. (I pay £70 at the Chevin) I am sure the rooms will be clean and well appointed, but I would have expcted them to be maybe £60-65 for a single.
I am awarding 5 stars for the meal, but I suspect that had I stayed there, maybe only 4 stars as a hotel because of the price.
Within the last few weeks I now found and reviewed three pubs in the area with really good food., the other two being the The Black Horse at Askwith and the Fox at Menston. I now have a quandary which to go back to !
The Wheatley is a great pub with good beer and wine. The food is also great with all the current classics such as belly pork and fish and chips. They also have a range of gluten free options including gluten free bread available on request. The atmosphere is great but I would recommend booking on or Friday or Saturday night. If you have to stay the night in the Leeds area I would recommend the executive room which has a double ended bath and its own deck.
Very impressed.
We went last night after having various friends recommend the place.
Can't fault it!
Excellent food and drink.
Reasonably priced.
Very high standard of presentation throughout.
Friendly and interested staff.
Nice atmosphere and busy on a Saturday night (best to book)
Honestly don't think it could have been any better.
We will be going again.
Out of about 6/7 pubs in the group, (Individual Inns), this is the most modern. The others are very traditional. However, this is just great. The Manager knows how to deal with people in an old fashioned way, ie, he's bloody good. Good beer, good dining and, I suspect, the rooms are well up to scratch.
Wonderful hotel to stay in with great location for walking into town. Quiet street and no noise from the pub downstairs. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, from check in, the man that noticed my husband’s empty beer glass to the lovely lady at breakfast. Everyone was so cheerful and happy. The food was delicious every night and the room was comfortable, not quite as luxurious as we thought it would be, but the bed was very comfortable and the shower room was lovely. Didn’t want to leave but will be back again
Such a welcoming, comfortable hotel. Excellent, peaceful room, delicious food and a comfy bed - what more could you want? Even the dog was well catered for with treats, blanket and a special menu!

I can’t fault this wonderful hotel at all , my daughter and myself booked to stop here after a afternoon tea canal trip at skipton for my birthday.
All I can say is wow what a truly wonderful hotel in such a quiet peaceful area , was no noise or traffic while we here at all apart from the beautiful sound of the birds singing.
Our Room which was number 8 was spacious and bed was massive everything we needed was in the room down to bottles of water and milk in fridge as well as a tray with all that’s needed to enjoy a cuppa in your room biscuits went down a treat thank you , toiletries in bathroom where luxurious and smelt wonderful , the hotel was well looked after and spotless not a sign of dust anywhere. Staff couldn’t do enough for us and as for the Breakfast well it was wonderful was even offered a choice of what eggs did I want so I opted for a poached egg which was cooked to perfection.
Was informed that If we came again the hotel would have had a massive makeover which I’m really shocked about because in my eyes the hotel was perfect . Will be intrigued to see how the new decor and makeover will look like but hope it doesn’t loose its old quaint character. Thank you The Wheatley arms for our fabulous stay . Will definitely stop here again if in this area .
Well this was a lovely find and not disappointed. Everyone was very friendly, polite and accommodating. Room was a good size with a bath and very clean. The place was easy to find on the sat nav and had a large parking area.
Dinner, pudding and breakfast was excellent and can't fault the very busy hardworking staff.
Look forward to going again.
Amazing pub in such a nice area too.
Staff were friendly and provided a great service.
Presume it was the manager on duty at the time when I was in on Thursday 9th May but she served me and you can tell leads the team very well.
100% will be coming in again.
Had a lovely meal here and stayed for their Tuesday quiz, which was great fun. The surprise nibbles at half time were excellent.
Would recommend.
Another fab stay at a Robinsons pub, gorgeous room with nice little extras such as milk & water in the fridge. Breakfast was included & this was lovely & hot.
100% would recommend , great food especially the ravioli and the pork belly, with a fantastic sticky toffee pudding to end the evening. Great service from Scarlett who was kind and helpful. Will definitely be back
I would 100% recommend The Wheatsheaf Inn Brigsteer as the staff, rooms and welcome was outstanding. The breakfast and evening meal was also to die for. The chef was absolutely amazing, his food/cooking was delicious. I don’t often compliment others but honestly the chef, food was outstanding. Each staff member including the chef went above and beyond to make our two night stay homely and perfect. They also made our dog feel extremely welcome and nothing was too much to ask. I highly recommend this place and I most definitely will be returning soon. Thank you for a great two day break away.
Absolutely fantastic place, went for a meal. Staff were so happy to help, nothing was a problem. Food was lovely, great selection of beers, wines and spirits.
Will definitely be back, it felt very upmarket with the service but very warm with the ambience and decor.
