Just Ok - hotel really could use some updating as it's looking a bit tired. Beds were not very comfortable. But everything else was good - staff were lovely and there was no complaints at all. Just needs a little TLC.

Depends on who is staffing reception as to the level of warmth and friendliness in interactions. Had an executive room first night and standard double the second. Much preferred the standard double 💁‍♀️ good find of a hotel for ease of access to shops and restaurants and overall good value for money. The hotel is clean, comfortable, with quality bedding and towelling etc. and comfortable beds. Has quaint elements to the hotel and could imagine it being a high end boutique hotel but as stands, it sits within its niche and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Just would be nice if some of the team members smile just a little 😏

Poor, very poor

Very poor indeed. Was checked in and told 'oh by the way we have no hot water'. Was given the option to book at another hotel but without an immediate refund it wasn't possible. Lots of apologies but to be honest was a poor response. No offer of compensation. Not even a free drink! Even with hot water I would never stay again, Customer service was lacking somewhat. Even when I did check in and put my registration number in their tablet I was told I put the wrong number in! Like I don't know my own reg!! Stayed for 2 nights and hot water was never fixed even though the radiators were crazy hot. I'm in the trades so a wash was much needed after a day's work. Sponge bath and boiling the kettle is not good enough Will never stay again that's for sure

I booked the Chequers as a mid way journey point before moving to France. Hotel was easy to find and park car in large rear car park. Receptionist was enchanting and helpful. Bar staff were very good, friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and tidy. Whole venue oozes with character. All staff were exceptional. Thanks for a lovely stay 😊
