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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.

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.

Comfortable beds.

Our stay at The Chequers was comfortable and the location was perfect for the wedding we were attending. The beds were so comfortable and the refreshments provided were excellent. We were disappointed that there was no breakfast available but fortunately the price of the room was reduced after speaking to the hosts. We found a lovely café in the town for breakfast which was great. The only improvement I would ask for is a bit better communication regarding check out and using the 24 hour access which was a fire escape, which was difficult for our family member with mobility issues. We felt that we had to ask for information rather than it being readily available or being communicated on check in. But mainly a great stay and we wouldreturn.

Spacious, clean, modern and comfortable

We stayed here whilst attending a wedding at Coltsfoot Country Retreat and were so pleased with the facilities, parking, friendly staff, and the comfortable, spacious room. The breakfast included was delicious - the full English was huge! If we were needing somewhere to stay in the area again we would definitely visit again.
