The Woolly Sheep Inn

Popped in for a drink with a two tired dogs! Was greeted by (I assume) the manager and she was so lovely! Infact all of the staff were so sweet! Drinks were great and the food looked incredible too. Thankyou for being so accommodating when you were so busy on a bank holiday :)

A beautiful establishment with a warm friendly welcome. The minute you walk in the door you feel welcome the food selection is fantastic. Good food good beer and great wine selection. Just myself and my mother on this occasion but look forward to coming back later in the year with the whole family

Lovely Sunday lunch. Beef Brisket was especially good although the other roast beef was pretty good too. Could have had a few more veggies, but none the less great food. Service was prompt and staff were friendly. Really nice atmosphere in the pub too

We hadn’t booked but as it was a Monday teatime we got a table in a side room. We ordered food and drinks at the bar. A fantastic choice of real ales and lagers. Food arrived, my partner had ordered the pie with chips. I’d ordered fish and chips, with garden peas rather than pea purée but it arrived with the purée. The error was quickly changed. Had to ask for cutlery as the guy serving had forgotten it. My partner enjoyed his mea which came with a mix of cabbage carrot and green beans with gravy. My fish was over cooked and tasteless and the chips were actually skin on wedges. Great with my partner’s pie as he could add gravy but not nice with my fish. I was disappointed as the food isn’t cheap. I told the waiter who said he would tell the chef.

Great pub serving great real ale and tasty food. Nice attentive staff. Looks small from the outside but is a 'tardis'. Outside area for the better weather, clean toilets.

We had a lovely stay in this quirky Inn. We stayed for two nights in a superior double on the top floor, which was very quiet. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. There was tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits which were replenished daily and a flask of fresh milk was provided on arrival. This could be re-filled on request. We had breakfast and dinner on both days. There was a huge choice of food, and all of our meals were served piping hot and tasted delicious. The waiting staff were friendly and efficient. The vouchers for a half pint of beer each was a really nice touch. The only slight irritation was that although the Inn is advertised as non smoking, at the bottom of the stairs between the first and second floor bedrooms, there was a horrible smell of cigarette smoke. It was particularly strong during the day, but not so much at night. This was actually quite unpleasant and we heard others commenting about it too. All in all, we had a lovely two day break and would definitely recommend the Woolly Sheep Inn.

Great location, near bus and train station and near shops and pubs. Breakfast included and 2 tokens for 2 free half pints from the timothy Taylor cask ales Comfortable beds and lovely rooms. Friendly, helpful staff.

Super freindly staff (Niamh in particular) checked us in. Great room. The food was fantastic. Real good home cooking.

Great location for being central in town and with plenty of parking to the rear of the premises for all guests. We were in the 3 roomed annex, rather than the main building which has 9 rooms. The annex contains the superior rooms. Room was bright with good ventilation, clean and equipped sufficiently for a short stay. Bed was actually two beds joined together, so was huge, and was very comfortable. Towels and toiletries were supplied along with the typical kettle and tea/coffee facilities. As the annex rooms are to the rear of the beer garden, they are reasonably quiet at all hours, with only the occasional rowdy drinkers being a minor disturbance, but it is a central pub and should probably be expected. Other rooms in the main building may have been noiseier, so it may be worth enquiring on the location of your room before booking. We had planned to eat and drink at the pub on both nights of our stay, but due to issues with my food order on our first evening I returned my meal for a refund and we opted to go elsewhere instead. Breakfast involved a reasonable selection of buffet items and a selection of cooked breakfast options. Full cooked breakfast was OK, but the omelette and eggs florentine options were much better on our second morning. Easter Sunday started with a rude awakening, as the fire alarm went off at 6am. Only saw one member of staff on site investigating the situation and nobody to give guidance to those that did bother to leave their rooms. I made myself known to the staff member, as a fire marshal, and was told that someone had been smoking in a room, but breakfast staff suggested it was a fault in the system. Check out is normally by 10:30am, or you can pay £10, as we did, to give yourself a more relaxed morning and an extra couple of hours to be on your way. As we had been awakened so early though, it was pointless hanging around.
