Short stay

Great place for us as a place to sleep. We wanted to be near Fountains Abbey. The breakfast was amazing, we didn't eat on an evening so don't know about that. The building needs a little TLC, the door to our veranda was difficult to lock, the stairwell smelt a little fusty and there are no plug sockets near the bed. The bed was comfy though and the room basic but acceptable. Overall, a nice stay.

Our stay at the Chequers

Disappointing. The bathroom fittings needed some attention. Sink basin stopper did not work. Toilet seat loose. Light switch chain broken. Light bulb out and a hole in one of the hand towels. The hotel Wi-Fi did not work in our room. Our mobile phones registered ‘no service’ in our room. No white sugar or decaf coffee supplied to our room. Overall staff were very friendly and polite.

Excellent hotel and restaurant. A few miles outside Harrogate so is very quiet. Had west-facing room with small balcony which is great on a sunny day. Staff were very friendly and the food excellent. Good range of options at reasonable prices. Would happily stay there again

We arrived on a very windy afternoon. It was easy to find. Super helpful staff. Room was beautiful. All facilities excellent. Just rocked up for dinner with an extra guest. Food amazing and super quick service even though it was filling up with guests. Breakfast was delightful with so many 5* choices. Every member of staff greeted you with a warm friendly smile. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend The Chequers in Bishop Thornton.

Great location to visit Fountains Abbey, quiet. We really liked having a balcony especially as it was hit. Good choice for breakfast & very reasonable for evening meal. The room was really quite small & the mattress was very soft so didn’t sleep too good.

Excellent value for money. Comfortable stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here for an overnight stop. The room we stayed in was ground floor and although fairly basic was so comfortable and had everything we required. Tea and coffee tray. Complimentary toiletries. Comfortable beds. Lovely bed linen and towels. Shower over bath was great. Small table and chairs outside each room so we enjoyed the evening sunshine. We were lucky enough to arrive on a Wednesday.. steak night. The steaks we had were amazing. Staff were friendly and efficient. Value for money for room and food was excellent. Car parking no problem. We had a great sleep. What more to say? We'll be back if need a room in this area any time. Thank you...
