Our first impression of the Chequers from outside, was that it looked a bit run down but we were willing to give it a go, it did cost £100 per night! We were 'checked' in at a busy bar by the barmaid in between her serving other customers drinks and then were shown our room which was up an external... More

When we arrived at midday, there were no gaps in the carpark. My sister went into the bar, and the manageress came out and moved her car for us immediately. Good start. As other reviewers have noted, one books in at the bar, and it took them so long to find our key tha I thought they'd lost the booking.... More

The bed was nice to sleep on, the room was clean, plenty of coffee and tea in the tray, kettle hard to fill up had to do it with the shower, as kettle does not fit in sink, the toilet is a macerator unit and it makes a lot of noise and a bit smelly, i could also hear other... More

Chose this on the basis of their website, and when we arrived it looked like a run-down roadside pub. The signs were propped up against the building! Dusty, cold rooms. Way way over priced, but friendly enough staff.

Saw his hotel on google and was central to where I needed to be. I was surprised when I pitched up to see it was basically a pub with a few rooms attached via an outdoors fire escape. There is no reception - you check in at the bar. Don't know about you, but when you walk into a bar... More

I would recomend this guest house to everyone who... More

Good sized room, bed comfortable, breakfast was fine. Bathroom not good. Couldn't pour kettle safely without unplugging it. Awful cooking smells coming up through vent in bathroom. Very few watchable channels on the TV. It was okay for one night but certainly would not have stayed two nights. TOTALLY OVERPRICED.

The website for this hotel is deceiving - suggesting a boutique style inn with tastefully decorated rooms. Its actually a slightly upmarket pub which is tying to be soemthing that its not. The rooms look as though they may have been quite nice when first refurbished, but are now dusty and dirty - the carpet doesn't look as though its... More
