Pleasant surrounding, with very clean room, helpful staff, quiet throughout the night and good supply of amenities. What I didn’t like was lack of a walk-in shower and over done eggs when sunny-side was requested. Both minor. Very good stay at The Chequers. I recommend it.

Check in at the bar was a little strange - they didn't seem to be expecting any guests but I don't think they had any vacant rooms. The room was smaller than expected - the description of the room booked included a sofa but there was none. Only 1 towel initially supplied - that was noticed when we entered the room by Connie? and rectified. Food was very good for both dinner and breakfast.

So close

Stayed in this boutique style hotel and restaurant for one night as a couple. Were greeted by Kayla who was exceptionally friendly and seemed to do the majority of the work. The room was very good: clean, stylish and well equipped. Dinner was of excellent quality with a good choice and breakfast was similar. Just a couple of points let this hotel down. Several of the staff appeared downright miserable and, while they performed their jobs, failed to smile or make us feel welcome. Also, there was no marmalade available for breakfast ( how hard is it to pop out to a local shop if a delivery is missed?). No explanation was offered or apology given just "we haven't got any". Just a little extra training would put this place in the top league.

This is an excellent hotel/inn. Very convenient for the local wedding venues, especially convenient for Coltsfoot Retreat. The rooms are very comfortable and cosy, they are tastefully decorated and finished to a high standard. The breakfast is excellent, very generous, well prepared and presented, exactly what is needed the morning after the night before.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I have unfortunately negative views about this property mostly based on poor communication about the 'included' breakfast (shown throughout my Expedia booking) which was one of the main reasons we chose this hotel. On arrival we were told that breakfast is only provided on Saturday and Sunday mornings because of a lack of staff. This obviously mean that our bookings were misleading as they stated that breakfast was included. The result was that we paid for something that was 'included' but then had to travel the next morning to find somewhere suitable to eat together for breakfast. Not great from the Chequers who presumably had not updated their details with Expedia. Expedia tried to contact the property afterwards but apparently they were unable to speak to anyone. Seriously? There is also nobody on any front desk at all, or even in the property overnight so I am not sure what would happen in the event of an emergency. And finally the bathroom in my room clearly had not been cleaned properly - the bath mat was dirty and looked used, and the toilet also did not look properly cleaned. Obviously after returning late there was no one to talk to about this. Not a nice experience.
