Stayed for 1 night on 8/12/11 rooms very dirty have to wipe your feet on way out dirty covers the owner needs to retire and let someone else have a go it is a loverly building that needs tlc he is a penny pincher known in the village for it aswell

we made big 4 mistake booking this hotel ....
1.trying to book a room for a saturday night on saturday morning
2.not double checking that the 'chequers inn hotel' was 'checkers inn' [as in marco pierre whites gorgous looking place]
3.not wondering what a self classified rating was
4.not checking it out on trip advisor !!!

it's a beautiful building in a very pretty village,and the welcome was very warm...BUT the room was well....everything felt uncleaned-neither of us took a step on the floor barefooted and the pillows, although we didn't check by taking the pillow cases off-they felt very old.
breakfast was the real disapointment [remember we still thinking this was owned by marco pierre white!] coffee in a flask,and the continual sound of the micro wave ping-ing.

this hotel has a very bad name locally with all tradesmen,everything is done as cheaply as possible especially when you present a bill and dont get paid,the owner also has a habit of locking the hotel at night before he goes home in his ferrarri and leaving the hotel unattended with no night porter,in fact he has been fined for this,avoid like the plague,all staff is cheap labour and you are lucky if any can string two words of english togeather,

Stayed at premises whilst on a visit to the area, self plus wife and eldest daughter with her husband. We asked for and got two rooms with easy access because we needed to take some special equipment. Rooms were neat and tidy and beds comfortable for an overnight stay.
Staff friendly and helpful.
