Pros:

Comfortable bed and clean

Cons:

My room was the third floor up. It was so hot I couldn’t stay in it. I did tell the staff and they moved me to the second floor but still so hot 🥵 you could not brief. I had to open the fire door to try and let some hair in it did have a fan, but it was just blowing hot heat

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.

Good location, food lovely and nice staff.
Pros:

Breakfast was great and evening meal in pub was lovely

Cons:

When we tried to get a table for dinner were told there was approx 1hr wait but when we got a drink from bar there were definitely non reserved tables and eventually they did offer us one of those. We assumed we should have booked in advance. The room was ok, but a bit dated.
