The food was bad, asked for a medium stake but it was way too overcooked, sauce in lasagne tasted a bit off, asked for a sauce that isn’t spicy and it was spicy (despite the waitress saying its not), we were listening to music at 21:50 or so and we were told to listen to it quieter despite us talking louder than the music itself. Beds were uncomfortable, the shower water was too hot on both sides. Wouldn’t recommend

Overall a reasonable place to stay. However the plumbing is very noisy from other rooms and the walls are very thin Rooms are a little dated, but were clean.

The room was dirty...mattress stained yellow and something had been splashed up the walls but not cleaned off. We had cod and chips for dinner...the cod had been sat under the heatlamp for an extended periid of time and was incredibly dry. The watermelon & feta salad was small, ingredients were not fresh, and 3 pieces of watermelon. It was a main course dish. We did get offered free desserts as compensatiin for the meals but declined.

Value for Money
Stayed at the Owl a few times. Pub facilities are good. Rooms are basic, comfy bed, and adequate facilities. Tea and coffee tray in room. However on this visit there was a loose toilet seat and the radiator in the bedroom did not work. These were reported but not rectified during our stay.

Stoped at The Owl for one night with my family and in overall it was very pleasant experience. We had a family room on the top floor and it was very quiet up there. Our room was spacious enough for four of us, beds very comfortable and level of cleanliness very satisfying. Check in and check out were very straightforward. Staff appeared to be very pleasant. We only had a breakfast at this hotel, which turned to be very nice. In overall this stay was a great value for money and very pleasant experience for me and my family.

Comfortable stay
Car parking is free and plenty of doace available when we arrived. There's a convenience store right next door which is handy for any little items we might have forgotten to bring. Check in was easy snd the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was large and comfortable, however there were a couple of niggles. The wall next to the single bed in our family room was dirty and I cleaned it before using the bed. Also, there's no reading lamp beside the single bed which is inconvenient, although there is a socket next to the bed, so a lamp coild be placed on the shelf. There was a smell of drains in the bathroom when we arrived and this lingered into the second day of our stay. The plug doesn't fit tightly in the bath, so the water leaks away! However the room was quiet, the beds comfortable and we had everything we needed.

Lovely room at first impression.
The room at first appearance is lovely. Large TV, comfy bed, looks modern. However, no heating in October, the toilet seat was broken and didn't flush well. The shower wasn't very hot and water went all over the floor due to a very flimsy shower curtain. One of the single beds wasn't a bed, just a camp bed that sunk in the middle. Staff were really nice though. The food in the pub was ok but nothing special. I'd not eat or stay there again though. I only stayed one night.

A dormitory type room with all the noise from people toileting/crashing on ceilings/slamming doors until 3am. Stuffy, uncomfortable, seriously over priced.

Ideal location for surrounding areas such as York, Xscape and hour away from flamingo land. Friendly staff. Nice evening meals and breakfast. Room was hot and the fan did not work.

Ok but didn't feel clean
The room was fine. We were only there for 1 night so didn't need much more than a comfy bed and somewhere clean to wash. Unfortunately, the bathroom was less than clean. There were hairs still present in the bath from previous occupents and what looked like toilet stains on the wall next to the loo. The bathroom had a very unpleasant smell. I couldn't shower in the bath so just had to have a quick wash. Meal and service at the pub restaurant was good.
