Very very disappointed
Pros:

No breakfast option, no chef on day of arrival so no food option at all.

Cons:

The room was poor, the cleanliness non existent. Clothes rail hanging off the wall, curtain tie backs too. No way to keep window open. Clothes left in the drawers ( not ours). The kettle was dirty. The bedside cabinets were sticky.

Great location and staff, but very grubby accommodation
Pros:

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and I want to highlight that as they clearly like working there.
The location os fabulous! Free parking too
There is tea and coffee making facilities in the room

Cons:

The place is completely run down. The decor is tired and grubby
You can feel every spring in the thin mattress
The place smells of damp
There is mould all round the shower.
The floor in the bathroom was soft and feels like its going to fall through

Disappointing Stay
Pros:

Not much really ....

Apart from I asked for a small fridge to keep medication in & they sorted that for me.
Prior to arrival, the Manager was very pleasant.

Bedding looked clean & towels were fresh.

Cons:

The pub was never open on the Monday & Tuesday (which we didn't know) and also closed Wednesday when we got back around 19.30/19.45 - whether it was open during the day - no idea.
The only person we saw was a member of barstaff, when we checked in. We had our own key to the pub front door & our room. No one checked to see if everything was okay.

The twin beds were very low to the floor and the window one, creaked evertime you moved. Too soft & thin mattress & pillows - both ended up with back ache & I got bad neck ache

Floor hadn't been hoovered, extension leads not PAT tested.
Bathroom - had to clean the sink. Dirt/dust & cobwebs everywhere - windowsill, radiator, behind sink (can see when on toilet). Dust on top of bin lid. Black mould in shower, so never used it. Hair bobble left on top of radiator.

Sink tap loose & wobbled - and the hot came out when you turned it to cold.

Tried calling pub number & number through Booking.com - but no reply until Thurs pm - but that was the same member of staff who checked us in. Have sent text message. Tried to do this complaint directly with them - but no one is getting back to me.

So have no choice but to go through this channel.

Very disappointing stay - spoilt our holiday and our Anniversary.

Good value for money pub room at the top of the Sleights main road.
Pros:

Easy to find pub at the top of the main road in Sleights. Warm welcome to a clean and comfortable room and a very nice overnight stay. Good value for money.

Cons:

It would be great if there was an option for breakfast in the morning - but there is a village shop a little way down the road that is useful.
