Decent enough. Probably would stay again if I had too.
Pros:

The Owl was a decent place to stay. The bar was nice and the staff looked after us well.

Cons:

The mattress has seen better days and a heavy smoker next door kept us awake throughout the night, choking and regularly nipping outside for a smoke. But I can’t hold that against the establishment, just bad luck.
