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!

Parking is an issue, we went to collect a token so we could enter the car park, to find there were no spaces. We were then told to park in a public car park several streets away at a cost. This is not mentioned on the website. The room was fine, the shower room very small. The kettle would not fit under the tap in the sink. The bed was very comfortable. The evening meal was very bland, little or no seasoning. The room over looked the street, which was extremely noisy until after 2am. So a very poor night’s sleep. Breakfast was average. No dairy alternatives available. Will not stay again.

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.

I mean, what can I say? Absolutely everything was wonderful. The venue itself is beautiful (I’ve actually made mental notes on the beer garden to replicate part of it at home. It was very busy and very vibrant BUT the lady behind the bar took the time to explain to me ALL SIX of the available Timothy Taylor ales in draft. The room was lovely. The bathroom was great. I slept great. A perfect room in a perfect pub and WE WILL BE BACK.

The room was spacious and clean. Bed comfortable with a choice of pillows. The decor was lovely. Large bath sheets, which was very welcome. The breakfast was limited on gluten free options. An iron in the room would have been helpful.
