Great stay to attend a nearby wedding.

A beautiful room, which was exceptionally clean. Breakfast choice was great and their black pudding really is the best ewe will ever have! Fortunate to be able to get a table for friends staying nearby to join us for a fantastic meal! Would definitely stay again.

Gateway to the Dales

Lovely stay and staff were fab! Only things were the hairdryer in the room was quite dirty and about to give up and our water/milk/tea didn’t get refreshed. Minor things that didn’t spoil our stay at all and would definitely return.

Birthday visit

A one night birthday trip. Staff are welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Room comfortable if a little small. Room was very warm but solved by turning off the heat and opening the window. My only recommendation would be for the waiting staff to bring out the required knives for meals. Had soup and a roll with whipped butter but no knife to spread butter, also had steak again no steak knife. Both had to be requested. Small details like this are unimportant but would make things more amazing.

Highly recommended

We were treated for a 1 night stay as a gift so we decided to add on 1 more night good decision the staff are so helpful friendly and cant do enough for you nothing is too much bother the food is homecooked well presented and delicious the woolly sheep is a quirky old building with lots of character a fabulous covered outdoor area which will be amazing in the better weather as the roof goes back to make it an open top area, the rooms are tastefully decorated in a lovely modern style and colours kingsize comfortable bed for a good nights sleep situated in the charming village of Skipton with lots of historical sites and places of interest highly recommended credit were credit is due we will be back.....

Excellent as always

Stayed a few times, always excellent. Rooms, food, beer, staff, can’t fault anything. Not cheap, but worth it. Evening meal was excellent, restaurant quality as opposed to pub grub.

Lovely staff very helpful and couldn’t do enough for you .A real credit to the pub. The meal wasn’t as good as we expected it to be .Defiantly no wow factor and a little undercooked . Plenty of choices for breakfast however the cooked breakfast wasn’t that nice and the yogurts were on their use by date .The room was extremely disappointing for a superior plus ! There was excrement inside the toilet , black hairs inside the bath, the extractor fan was full of dirt and dust .The shower heads were filthy and didn’t work properly as was the shower doors . Fully refurbed ?? I’m not sure it has been. Although it was clear it was a dog friendly place I think there should be limits in place as not everyone wants to sit and eat or drink with dogs .Overall we did have a nice time but I think that was down to the staff being so nice and how we made it ourselves .
