All aspects of the Woolly Sheep were excellent,especially the kitchen. The only negative for us personally,was the fact our superior room was on the top floor and the hotel has no lift. We wouldn’t hesitate staying there again,but would make sure of the lower floor.

It was very hot when we were there but thankfully there was a fan in the room. The bed was a superking and probably the most comfortable we’ve been in for a long time. The staff were absolutely fab and the breakfast was good with plenty of choice. A huge boost to our trip was the parking facility the premises has, town centre parking with no additional charge, what a result! If we should choose to return to Skipton this will definitely where we’ll choose to stay.
