    This is an excellent location for a short stay and there is nothing that one could dislike.

    One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast. Not only is it wholesome and plentiful, the two ladies who attended to us were so friendly, eager to help and knowledgeable about the surroundings and attractions. At so many hotels and such like, you arrive in the breakfast room and are just expected to help yourself and get on with it. At the Chequers Inn you are served. The Chequers Breakfast is strongly recommended though the omelette runs it a close second. The room we were allocated is excellent in both facilities and comfort offering both a large king size bed, sofa and occasional fold away bed. It offers great views over the local farms and downlands. The bathroom is very modern with a huge corner bath and separate shower stall. Even though the room is over the public bar, it is still quiet and no noise intrusion was noticed. Whilst the road is close by, traffic is slight after 9 pm and does not bother you during the night. We also had evening meals which we selectred from a good range of dishes all cooked to perfection, very hearty and of good value for money. The Inn is centrally located which makes it perfect for visits to all parts of the island. The WIFI is limited in that it will accommodate emails and such, but the bandwidth is inadequate for streaming video and other high volume requirements. At present there are a lot of road closures on the island so it would be well to seek the patron's advice on routings to attractions etc.

    We certainly recommend this place. The Chequers Inn has good food, it is in a really good location to have as a base to see the Island, it has a nice selection of beer (the wine menu didn't look too bad either) and our room was large with a comfy bed (always important) and the staff we're really nice.

    Can't think of anything.

    Great location in the centre of the island. The room was very well equipped, and had very good quality fittings and a large bathroom. The breakfasts were exceptional with very good portions and great choices as were the evening meals. All the staff that we met were very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the local area.

    The Perfect Country Pub

    This is the perfect country pub. It is stylish and clean and the food is excellent, but it is not in the slightest pretentious or ‘gastro’. We ate a delicious dinner, stayed in an extremely comfortable, well decorated and well maintained, family room and ate a hearty, gourmet standard, breakfast featuring local produce. The rate for the room and breakfast was so reasonable it seemed wrong not to be paying more. Best of all, the staff were unusually friendly, welcoming and good with our three, often boisterous, children. They even rang us ahead of our arrival to warn that there was a party being held in the pub the evening of our arrival and letting us know that it might be noisy (which it was not!). I could not recommend this hotel and restaurant more highly.

    Unfortunately for our stay the heating malfunctioned, but the staff gave us electric heaters to keep the room warm. We also had a fire alarm go off at 08:00am…

    Perfect getaway venue. The Inn was just what we wanted, comfy room, excellent staff. Food was incredible and would definitely recommend and come back again!

    We had the family room and whilst the main king size bed was comfortable the single little camp style bed and the sofa bed mattresses were clearly coming to the end of their usable life and for comfort could do with replacing.

    Staff were excellent. We were a very last minute booking because our ferry was cancelled but they were all outstandingly polite, good natured, helpful and accommodating. It was clean, spacious, surprisingly well sound proofed from the main pub, lovely and warm. Dinner and breakfast both offered a lot of variety and tasted great.

    Although rooms were supposedly soundproofed there was quite a lot of late night noise from the bar and from passing traffic. The room was quite cold at times, the radiators were not turned on despite cold and inclement weather, there was just a small mobile electric heater available for the large bedroom area and a heated towel rail in the bathroom. Outside, although a large car park, there were no dedicated disabled parking spaces close to the entrance making access difficult for the less mobile, especially if carrying luggage. Once inside, help with taking bags up and down stairs was given at check-in and check out.

    An excellent standard of cleanliness in a spacious, comfortable room with every amenity provided. Plentiful choice and quantity of great quality food included for breakfast and a good varied menu in the on site restaurant for lunch and evening meals. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Central location was ideal for easily getting around all of the island attractions.

    The location is really good, views are fantastic and good road to anywhere you want to go on the island. Breakfast was amazing. Such a choice and willing to adapt anything to your choice. The evening menu had lots of choice and was well cooked and presented. The staff were fantastic, so helpful and cheerful. A credit to themselves and to the Chequers Inn
