Had an beautiful omelette not normally on a breakfast menu
Nothing all very attentive staff nothing to dislike
The room was clean and comfortable but the ensuite was a bit small. The shower was very awkward over the bath and difficult to climb into. Breakfast and dinner were good. Perfect location right in the town centre. Easy parking behind the hotel
Room was comfortable and clean. Dinner in restaurant was very good with great choice. Breakfast was also very good
Brilliant location, fantastic food, friendly staff,would definitely stay again

Great location, well appointed single room, free secure parking and excellent breakfast.
Good location, good evening menu, good drink choice and good staff.
Shower was rather small but the room was ok
The rooms were clean and tidy A little fridge with fresh milk and a bonus bottle of beer and also a bottle of water. Some biscuits on the complimentary tray was also nice. The staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was nice although the sausage was a bit fatty
We requested rooms close to each other that was not accommodated we were in different buildings although we booked this back in February When asked was told they were fully booked but we did book a while ago. The mattress was hard and both of us did not sleep well
Great location with handy parking. Room was clean.
Room was small and stuffy. Breakfast was disappointing, dry and fairly tasteless.
Staff, location. Perfect
Bit too warm in bedroom
Accommodation, staff, food and the general experience faultless

Location to skipton
Customer service was rubbish. Asked to reserve a table for dinner and informed they were too busy. Recommended that plenty of places in town could accommodate. General service poor.
The room and bathroom were small. We only stayed one night so that was ok. The food in the put on the evening was good and so was the breakfast. Parking in the middle of the town for free was a bonus, easy to find and park so we were very happy with that aspect.
The room was quite light overnight as it faced the main street. The bed was not as comfortable as I would have liked but it was ok for one night.
The comfort of the room was very good as was the food
The only thing we didn't like was dogs in the restaurant when we were eating breakfast. They were smelly so had to move tables
Excellent staff, friendly, efficient, polite.
Nothing
Excellent location. Easy to park. Very nicely decorated room. Lovely dinner and breakfast.

Rooms are much smaller than the pictures let on.
Lovely pub with good accommodation. Had an evening meal in the pub which was good. Breakfast was also spot on. Great selection of beers which we sampled fully. Good location with free parking too.
Nothing we didn't like.
Excellent location. Despite being town centre it was not noisy at all. Comfy bed. Welcome fan in the room as it was quite warm. Staff very helpful and friendly. Excellent breakfast. Lots of choice.
Although parking is available and free it was full when we arrived and cars double parked.
Comfortable spotless a great place to stay

Small room but maybe thats typical for skipton
Great location and comfortable stay. Lovely pub with great food.
A little noisy at night as we stayed on the first floor.
Beautiful pub/hotel. Food was amazing. Stayed on a Saturday night so was very noisy outside until the early hours! Staff amazing. Great breakfast. Great location for where we wanted to be. There is parking for residents but gets busy and car park is a bit hard to find!!
Love the Woolley sheep great location
Room was ok but floor slops due to age of property so wasn’t keen about that
Nice and cozy place to explore Skipton. I enjoyed as well the breakfast and the nice little beergarden.
Friendly helpful staff, good location
Nice friendly place. Comfortable room, quite small and noisy next to a busy road. Quieter overnight. Good breakfast, lots of choices.

The hotel was comfortable welcoming and in the ideal place for our visit to skipton

Location. Good for parking (secure)
Very small room. Breakfast not the best.
Fantastic
Nothing g
The location was very central
Very noisy young ladies in the beer garden shouting over one another. Very Loud and inconsiderate behaviour. So much so I couldn’t hear my husband talk to me because they were so loud. I could even hear them from room 1 on the top floor. Much too noisy. This should be checked for the benefit of other guests.
Busy pub with a great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Really liked the outdoor patio area. Fantastic breakfast and free secure parking.
Great location, friendly staff and good food
Lovely pub. Food was amazing. Very friendly and helpful staff. Right in the town centre and its own secure car park.
Breakfast was excellent we both really enjoyed it. Very filling. To start the day.
Nothing everything was good. Just right.
Free parking, ( though the barrier was a pain ) getting in,
the room is very old and dated, plus no view
Great location. Really nice pub and rooms.
Friendly staff, amazing food, spacious rooms, great atmosphere
Having to go home
The staff were always mixing and welcoming, at breakfast or at night. Room was comfortable and clean. Food was great. Loved it.
A small fridge would be nice but milk was provided.
Within walking distance of several pubs.
No issues
We have stayed at the "wooly" two or three times and this time, like all the others, was brilliant in all departments. The room was great he food and drink excellent and the Staff just brilliant. I cannot imagine visiting Skipton and staying anywhere else.

Prefect location, free parking, very comfortable bed and great food especially breakfast plenty of choice
Have stayed many times and enjoy the atmosphere . Good parking and nice clean rooms. Friendly staff and good food.
Too many stairs. I will ask for a lower floor next time
Great service, friendly staff and great food.
The room on ge whole was clean but the bathroom sink wasn't.
The room was very clean and spacious and the location was great. The bed and pillows were so comfortable and we slept really well. The food was beautiful and you could tell it was fresh and cooked to order. It was a perfect stay for our silver wedding anniversary and the bubbly left for us in the room upon our arrival was a lovely touch and much appreciated. All the staff were polite and helpful at all times and worked hard to make our stay enjoyable.
Nothing
Friendly staff, food lovely, cosy room. Very good location.
Should provided more details on parking. IE need to collect a fob first before parking.
Atmosphere, staff, locatiion
Breakfast could have had a few more healthy options like natural sugar free yoghurt, fruit, seeds.
Lovely old pub, nice atmosphere, bedroom was clean, but quite dark. The breakfast was very good. Staff very friendly and helpful
No fridge in room. Given milk in a flask but not sure it wouldn't go off in this weather without a fridge.
Lovely place, perfect location, clean rooms, superb food x

Stayed many times love staff and facilities
Convenient to town centre and parking
Brilliant location , hotel great and staff very friendly and helpful
Great as it is
Stayed before and the location was excellent
I’d paid for 5 rooms for friends of mine . 4 of the rooms had no hot water until the second day . It wasn’t a good start and a bit embarrassing for me .
The wholly sheep the staff where excellent the breakfast was great every one Speke to every one
Loved it all there was nothing to dislike
Breakfast v.good choice Room small but adequate
Sadly we were there when it was v.hot and our room was unbearably so
Excellent location Car parking Excellent breakfast
Stairs up to room 5
Friendly staff good central location had air conditioning in the bar area with the recent heat wave good food
During heat wave rooms very hot and uncomfortably to sleep in although small fan provided this was not enough
Staff were excellent. Very a accommodating given such a large party for my son's wedding. Food/service was of a high standard
The en-suite wasn't as clean as it shoukd have been. There were toothpaste stains down the side of the vanity unit. I cleaned this myself. There was no space to put any toiletries in the bathroom. Could have done with a shelf. The room was stifling hot, although a fan was provided for us due to the heatwave. It just circulated the hot air within the room making it feel even hotter because the room wasn't very large. A very compact double.
A place in the restaurant would have been nice
Very friendly helpful staff, comfortable beds, great breakfast, great location, fresh milk in the room, complimentary beers, fresh bedding, large beds especially in the annex.
Not vet good if you need accessible rooms as there are lots of steps and stairs.
We were able to access the car park before check-in time. The inn occupies a central location and is very convenient to explore Skipton. Inside, the pub is attractive and hosts an excellent selection of Timothy Taylor's beers. The staff were friendly. Our room was spacious, with a comfortable bed and good bathroom facilities. Breakfast was ok, but nothing special. We did not eat dinner at the property.
Although we were able to open windows in the bedroom and the bathroom, it felt a little stuffy.
Perfect location for everything
Our room was small no view just brick walls and air conditioning units , the room does not have air on , Just a fan, I had requested prior to our stay for room 10 but got put in room 9? However the staff well friendly and the accommodation overall was good. It was just a room which let it down for us, which was a shame.
Really friendly welcome, good well appointed room in a first class location. Smart TV was added bonus.
No issues at all.
Lovely pub, friendly staff and super good and beer!
Nothing
Friendly helpful staff and central location with excellent outside area.
The room was small and basic and shower cubicle needed re silicone.
The location was great for shopping and getting a token for carpark from the bar was a great idea . Loved that you had a key to get to the hallway for bedrooms as it made you feel safer . The garden area was spacious and our room was spotless as was all of the hotel . Such a great property
I liked everything
Lovely, well kept property with charm, loved the garden space
Nothing
The woolly sheep was in an ideal location for our needs. The evening meals were excellent,the staff were excellent, they were attentive, but not intrusive.
The lack of any air & air conditioning in the second floor bedrooms. The heat was unbearable for the 2 nights we were there making sleep impossible. So much so, that we chose to leave a day early & lose a substantial amount of money…. All for a good nights sleep in our own bed!!!!!!!
Excellent location, very friendly staff, lovely comfy room, good parking
Nothing

The all stay was excellent

Location was great with private parking Lovely food Helpful staff
Nice friendly staff. Very clean room Beers great on the bar.
A lot of nice from outside the pub. As people was leaving, but that’s prob to be expected. Staying in a pub environment.
Location, comfortable bed, evening meal.
Radiator on in the bathroom made it feel like a sauna. On one of the hottest nights of the year!! Couldn’t see how to switch it off.
Clean spacious room, very friendly staff
Evening meal In restaurant, sorry but don’t like eating in same area as dogs being fed from the table
It was a fantastic period property with a very modern pub/restaurant.
Nothing. We had the small room but that was still extremely enjoyable. Everything you wanted and despite the size we would definitely stay in that room again. It was very clean and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
Location car parking breakfast
Too many stairs would have preffered a walk in shower
Good location and breakfast
The staff, great food, rooms were small but comfortable.
The amount of stairs up to our room
Adequate
Staff very abrupt and. Tried to rush us.
Great location, friendly, helpful staff, great size clean room which they had really paid attention to detail with decor, big comfy bed. Tea, coffee, biscuits and fridge with water and milk and a bottle of local beer. Beautiful pub with lots of character and delicious breakfast with local produce.
Breakfast lacked cut up fresh fruit which we had at three other locations and they ran out of marmalade. When I got home same day as leaving an answerphone message stated spent £98.00 odd at the woolly sheep inn and £900 elsewhere ,. Respond and press 1 to agree and 2 to disagree..this is very suspect and does not shine a good light on a member of staff
Very central and vehicle parking for free
Ensure you book an evening meal in the restaurant as there are limited tables.
Lovely stay very friendly and welcoming staff,dog friendly?fabulous food,very comfy bed spotlessly clean,lovely room and en suite bathroom with shower in a fantastic location could not fault it.will definatly stay here again without a doubt.
Large comfortable bedroom and excellent breakfast. Free parking which is always a bonus.
Nothing.
Food and beer excellent, handy parking, a very comfortable stay
The Woolie Sheep Inn was clean, comfortable caruling staff and a great breakfast to satisfy all tastes which included cereals, fruit, yogurts, a full (and I mean full) english breakfast, a choice of other breakfasts with as much coffee, tea and fruit juices as you like😋😋
Nothing
The food was delicious. Everything was very clean. The staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Free and safe car parking.
Bedroom floor was on a slope due to the age of the property I expect.
Excellent location and clean
All good
