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.

Nice breakfast, could just do with another vegetarian/vegan option. Service was fantastic, everyone very friendly and the dinner was lovely. Need a note in bedroom saying where the towels are as we couldn't find them.. We would stay here again.

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.

Lovely overnight stay

The room was very small but very nicely set out. The bed was very comfortable and everything you needed in the room for a lovely overnight stay. The breakfast was delicious, we didn’t eat an evening meal but the bar area is really nice. Nice touch in your room were 2 vouchers for 2 half pints of Timothy Taylor’s beer.
