Warm and cosy
Pros:

Lovely friendly pub, open fire so warm and cosy. Staff are really welcoming and very easy to get on with. We love it here, plenty of walks and places to eat, so it’s a good place to grab food, have a pint and get your head down.

Cons:

Nothing

For the price we were charged the room needs to be better
Pros:

The room was passable. I found the beds comfortable. Our stay was OK but should have
been a lot better. You need to have someone to check the rooms every day.

Cons:

The three nights we spent, not one person came and checked our room to see if we needed anything
I when to the bar several times to get teabags. The towels needed changing after showers.
Also I think breakfast should be offered.

Cheap at £65 room only but not worth half of that.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

This was a last minute booking for a room the same night. On arrival we were greeted by the owner who informed us that there would be no food tonight because the chef was off and that they did not do breakfasts. Not a good start. The room was very basic but as we were tired after a hard day we couldn't face looking for an alternative. Wifi information was posted on the safety notice on the back of the room door but did not work on both our mobile phones when tried. The room was dirty with surfaces being sticky. Two panes of window glass had cracks. In all a very poor experience and one which I cannot recommend. I will not be returning.

Great location, friendly staff but you do get what you pay for.
Pros:

Excellent location in Sleights near Whitby, great base to explore the north York moors, we was visiting to see the wintery weather. Staff member was kind and helpful and the food was great.

Cons:

you get what you pay for room was only £43 a night for 2 people

Some advice I have for the property owner, room could do with a refresh lick of paint, new higher bed frame (it was a bit low) maybe a new mattress, the sheets were ok but the mattress a little thin and springy as it’s old, bathroom door didn’t shut fully or lock a quick easy fix with a new door locking bolt, I’m sure something could be bodged up to sort this tbh like a wooden latch inside the door.

Heating wasn’t adequate for the cold weather due to rather drafty single glazed windows, these could do with an upgrade to modern double glazing (although it was an unusually cold spell for the area).

A higher standard of cleaning between people staying would be ideal, especially the inside of the shower (limescale and water drop marks) countertops had dust on them, a proper hoover out and we did find a sweets wrapper obviously missed by the cleaner. Not enough to affect your stay at all just general household dirt you’d get but it is slightly noticeable on closer inspections of surfaces etc.

Disappointed
Pros:

Location was convenient

Cons:

Not very clean - cobwebs all over our room. Bed was very uncomfortable and sheets thin. Saw only one member of staff on arrival. Shower was a trickle and room didn’t heat up at all. TV kept losing reception. It was cheap but really not fit for guests at all.
