Stayed for one night. Had looked at other places in the area but kept going back to this one so took the plunge and booked it, so glad we did. Booked in by really friendly staff. Absolutely lovely stay. Clean modern rooms, very warm on such a freezing night. Breakfast was plentiful, served in a spotless dining room, lots of choice, hot and tasty. We will definitely stay again on our next visit to Skipton

So to start with, we had to cancel our original booking due to bereavement. Unfortunately we were not in time to get a refund, but I emailed them to say we wouldn't be coming, so that they could re-let the room. We then received an email back to say that they would still love us to come and to contact them nearer the time and they would arrange it all, complimentary. Even if it had gone downhill from here this is service above and beyond, and totally unexpected. We had our re-arranged night on 4th November and had a fantastic stay. From checking in all the staff were super friendly (especially at breakfast when they had a mad rush as a group had booked all the other rooms and gone down to breakfast together). Lets then move on to the room, we had Room 11, which was a double. Absolutely perfect, everything you could need, and access to an iron and ironing board kept on the stairs. The bed was comfy with beautiful bedding that matched the headboard and curtains. Immaculately clean. We then move on to the bar ... this was super busy early on, but we were very quickly served each time, and my partner said that the Landlord was one of the best kept pints he had had in a long while! We didnt eat in the pub but saw food coming out and it looked lovely. The following morning, breakfast, which is included didn't disappoint.. there were fresh loaves to toast, yoghurt, fruit, cereals and a massive choice on the cooked breakfast range, we both went for a full cooked breakfast and the quality of the ingredients was outstanding. And what topped if off was proper filtered coffee, beautiful. We had the best time, much needed and will definitely be back here.…

Had a fabulous overnight stay at The Woolley Sheep Inn, we stayed in the superior double room on the top floor, really clean, comfortable bed - had a really good nights sleep. We had our evening meal in the restaurant and the food was gorgeous. Breakfast was included in the price and again beautiful and lots of options to choose from, could not fault it. All staff were friendly and polite. Definitely recommend.

The Wooly Sheep was fab. Easy to find with easy access to private parking. Excellent food and drink. When evening meal was finished our waitress found us a table in the snug - fab service. Room was clean and very comfortable. Ensure perfect. Nice touch with free drinks voucher. Great way to the start of our 40th wedding anniversary celebrations.

If you like Timothy Taylor beer then you'll love this pub. Nice atmosphere, nice people and well conditioned beer. They're all available but the Landlords and Landlords Dark are excellent. The Railway, another excellent pub, would do well to get a dark beer.

This place has pros and cons. i'll list them so you can make up your own mind: Pros: 1. Great location for visiting Skipton 2. Large secure car park 3. Big rooms with superking bed (ours was anyway) 4. Nice cosy snug bar for a drink and chat with no noise from fruit machines Cons: 1. Their online breakfast menu proclaims "take a seat, we will bring juice, cereal, tea and coffee to you." Not so. This is all self-service 2. I have never had to cut my own bread in order to make toast 3. Coffee was lukewarm and tasteless 4. The stairs leading to the rooms are scruffy. Many of the corridors are narrow with stairs everywhere and are unsuitable for those less able on their feet

Stayed for night and we were welcomed by friendly , helpful staff. Our room was cosy, clean and had a huge comfy bed. Two soft pillows each, perfect ! We had a couple of drinks in the bar before dinner. Food was delicious. After a couple of glasses of wine, we headed up to our room . The whole evening had been spent in a warm, friendly atmosphere . Breakfast again was delicious. Would definitely stay here again and for a longer period. We would recommend the Woolly Sheep Inn to anyone looking for a base to explore Yorkshire. Private car parking at the rear of Inn is an added bonus.

Great welcome at the Woolly Sheep. Good selection of beers . Staff were superb, very customer focussed. They were particularly considerate to an elderly couple on a tight time schedule who ordered food. Very impressive and an establishment well worth supporting.

The Sunday Roast was incredible 😍 Would definitely be back- very pet friendly our waitress gave us everything we needed and gave our dog some treats. Fairly priced for the quality too. We definitely recommend the beef & lamb Roast and a pint of thatchers to wash it down.
