Poor and no breakfast available

Not a bad venue but.. rooms are showing need of decoration and getting tired, Air conditioning either didnt work or was set in a way that the room was still boiling and tiny window offered no respite. There is an obvious disregard for the regulations and L8 water regulations obviously not followed by the amount of scale present on the shower heads, and portable appliance testing well overdue. Resteraunt was overpriced & mediocre, still stuck in past serving on unhygienic wooden platters which the waiting struggle with so much server dropped chips all over table which really wasn't her fault.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

4/10 Fair

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.

Bathroom was not ready with toilets unclean and without second row of toilets tissue

Disappointing

Our room was facing the main road which was fairly noisy. The double bed was comfortable but small. The decor looked rather shabby particularly in the bathroom. The restaurant food was expensive for the quality of food on offer.
