Very enjoyable over night stay - one small issue with a remote that wouldn't work - but other than that very pleasant. Staff were all very helpful and friendly and room was clean, comfortable and nicely furnished.

Lovely old inn.
Very enjoyable stay. Very friendly staff. Lovely old pub. Warm comfortable room but really quite small and being a very old building not very soundproof. Great location.

3rd visit staying here. Perfection from start to finish. The landlord does a wonderful job!. Check in is very easy with very friendly staff. The room is spotlessly clean & the bed is super comfortable ( I wish I could've had breakfast in bed!!😆). Breakfast is plentiful & of a high quality. Will be back for a 4th time!

Old pub in the centre of Skipton.
Right in the centre of town, a lively spot although our room was quiet. Renovated many times over the years so stairs go up and then down before arriving at the room. The dinner and breakfast were both excellent. Our room was fairly compact but fine for a night.

Fantastic pub and b&b
First time at the woolly sheep and it was excellent. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The room was much better than expected. It was quiet through the night and breakfast was the best hotel food that I have ever had. Not many hotels cater so well for vegetarians. The poached egg was just as it should be. Well done
