Tired

Been a regular guest over the last 4 years due to work. Great location, friendly staff but the condition of the rooms has only got worse. With some money spent on it could be excellent.

Never again

Had a long wait for someone to come to reception. And room not ready till 6pm. Then unable to use as they used strong bleach and it was so bad it burnt your eyes and you couldn’t go in. So then had to wait again for another room.

Staff were nice, breakfast each morning was self-service, which is great, but more of; once it's gone, it's gone, very slow to replenish the items... The garden needs to be tidied as it's overgrown.

Six day stay

I have stayed in The Chequers several times while visiting family. This time for 6 days.The staff are great. They have always accommodated an early check in which is highly appreciated. The room is serviced daily. The location in Newbury town is excellent for local restaurants etc. Adequate car parking.
