Fabulous as always, staff, food, selection of beers and rooms excellent. Stayed many times and will be doing so again. Just bear in mind, if staying in room 6 or 7 they are on to the High St so can be noisy, especially on bin day at 6:30am!

Staff were very friendly. It’s a great pub, busy with pleasant customers, the beer is good (but all Timothy Taylor’s…in case you don’t like theirs..) We went out into the town and came back and ate our evening meal in the pub. There’s a fair bit to do in skipton - we were just there overnight. If you like a local pub, the accommodation and staff, and whole set up is just perfect. The rooms are pretty small, but fine if you’re just sleeping and showering…. Highly recommended if you’re a traveler that likes to stay in pubs…

Staff were fantastic, very welcoming as we arrived slightly earlier than check in time. The gent from the bar explained all the parking facilities and provided us with a token for the barrier for the car park at rear of the pub. He also provided fresh chilled milk for our room. All other staff were professional, polite & friendly.

A great 2 night stay at the Woolley Sheep with a compact, warm and comfortable room, great staff and a fantastic breakfast. We have stayed elsewhere in town on previous visits but this will be our go to in future. The central location with off street parking included is unbeatable. A special mention to Wayne and Drea for their contributions to our excellent experience.
