Chequers Inn

Old world charm

Tired bedroom bathroom needs upgrading

Molto tipica, in un edificio del 1400. La camera è spaziosa e coi doppi infissi! Purtroppo essendo arrivati di domenica sera non abbiamo potuto usufruire della cucina. Molto apprezzata acqua e kettle in camera.

Il bagno è piccolo ma in un edificio storico non si può pretendere altro. Occorre considerare le scale e scalette e i soffitti bassi e le porte minuscole. Ma fa parte del contesto!

The room was bright and a reasonable size and had everything you would need for a short stay. Nice crisp duvet cover and lovely towels. The staff were friendly and the evening meals were excellent. Also plenty of parking and ideally located for a visit to the Abbey which was the reason for our visit.

The mattress was showing signs of age and use and I would have liked more padding between me and the springs. The water system made some weird noises at times. It wasn't a problem for us but could possibly for occupants of the neighbouring room. We were surprised on receiving our bill for the evening meal to find a 12.5% service charge as there was no mention of this on the menu, nor were we told when ordering.

We have stayed at the Chequers several times in the last six years and enjoyed every visit. The room was slightly smaller than others we have stayed in here, but had all the character and features of the others. The bed was comfortable, the en-suite compact but well laid out and fitted with a user-friendly shower and ample space for toiletries etc. The view towards Lake Field is one of the nicest in Battle and the secondary glazing kept road noise to a minimum. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and the breakfast was magnificent.

The room might benefit from a second bedside cabinet, subject to space.

We liked the central location, car parking, and the historical character of the pub and Inn, the food was professionally cooked. Bed very comfortable, one of our bathrooms was great. All very clean and high quality bedding.

We were struggling to open a window as it was very hot due to extraordinarily high, May temperatures. The rooms would benefit from blackout blinds rather than Venetian blinds because the summer light is very powerful and woke us up very early. You need to be aware that the central location gives rise to more traffic noise.

We loved the history and location of Chequers Inn. Very friendly staff. The room was quaint, bright and nicely decorated. Just a 5 min stroll to the beautiful Battle Abbey, village High Street and pubs/restaurants. We had a lovely cooked breakfast at the Chequers.

Lovely polite helpful staff

Very hot night and fan in room could do with replacing

Ability to store bags. Dinner was nice. Good bathroom.

I could feel the bed springs. Next room occupant having loud calls/on line meetings till quite late
