Overall Ratings & Reviews The Chequers Inn

You can hear everything in this property. The cleaners started cleaning at 8.30/9am and even though there was a sign outside our room that says to respect other customers who were staying, there was a complete disregard for this. They were being very loud. The room was absolutely boiling constantly even with windows open. Would not recommend, ended up leaving early even if we got offered another room, we feared it would be just as loud and uncomfortable to stay in as it is a small hotel.

Absolutely lovely. Booked through Expedia. Upon arrival we were expected & welcomed by the host. The place was family run and everyone we encountered was brilliant, all working together & multitasking, like a well oiled machine. We stopped in room 12 on the 1st floor, it even had a little balcony with astro turf, table & chairs to allow us to sit out and watch the sunset over the trees in the distance. Room condition was very good & had everything we needed. It appeared brand new. We has an evening meal in the on site restaurant. Food was top notch. Good choices & good portions. Breakfast was in with the package, same comments as above. Finally, checkout was easy and swift. Would we stop there again - a definite YES (One comment although not of the hotel was that we used our sat nav to get there which was ok until the last quarter mile, when it took us to a lane by a field, fortunately my wife noticed a brown sign back on the main road showing the hotel's location, so word to the wise, lookout for the brown signs!!)

Friendly staff. Good location.

More than l expected fiod was unreal top draw

Great place for us as a place to sleep. We wanted to be near Fountains Abbey. The breakfast was amazing, we didn't eat on an evening so don't know about that. The building needs a little TLC, the door to our veranda was difficult to lock, the stairwell smelt a little fusty and there are no plug sockets near the bed. The bed was comfy though and the room basic but acceptable. Overall, a nice stay.

Really comfortable room excellent meals, good shower quiet

Very quiet comfy room good location for Ripon and Harrogate.

Excellent food & service in a cosy village pub. Rooms very nicely fitted out.

Had a fantastic stay a family run hotel and I rate it as top notch. Food excellent service excellent and very friendly. We can’t wait to go back again. Our thanks to them all.

Disappointing. The bathroom fittings needed some attention. Sink basin stopper did not work. Toilet seat loose. Light switch chain broken. Light bulb out and a hole in one of the hand towels. The hotel Wi-Fi did not work in our room. Our mobile phones registered ‘no service’ in our room. No white sugar or decaf coffee supplied to our room. Overall staff were very friendly and polite.

Excellent hotel and restaurant. A few miles outside Harrogate so is very quiet. Had west-facing room with small balcony which is great on a sunny day. Staff were very friendly and the food excellent. Good range of options at reasonable prices. Would happily stay there again

Very nice hotel

We arrived on a very windy afternoon. It was easy to find. Super helpful staff. Room was beautiful. All facilities excellent. Just rocked up for dinner with an extra guest. Food amazing and super quick service even though it was filling up with guests. Breakfast was delightful with so many 5* choices. Every member of staff greeted you with a warm friendly smile. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend The Chequers in Bishop Thornton.

Room good but very small

Very welcoming and pleasant staff. Comfortable room. Excellent breakfast and evening meals.

What a little gem in North Yorkshire! We stayed overnight for my birthday and honestly couldn’t fault it Beautiful breakfast and meal in the restaurant Friendly staff, spotless rooms and public areas and a lovely spot Would highly reccomend and we will definitely be back

Overall, a great place. Slightly unusual setup, it’s almost like an American motel, but encompassing a British country pub. Food was well priced and good quality

Great location to visit Fountains Abbey, quiet. We really liked having a balcony especially as it was hit. Good choice for breakfast & very reasonable for evening meal. The room was really quite small & the mattress was very soft so didn’t sleep too good.

I made a last minute booking at this hotel for1 night and it exceeded all expectations , our room was decorated so nice and modern with a balcony which we enjoyed on the morning . The location was lovely and quiet and breakfast was really yummy with good vegetarian options . We will definitely be returning for a longer stay next time

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here for an overnight stop. The room we stayed in was ground floor and although fairly basic was so comfortable and had everything we required. Tea and coffee tray. Complimentary toiletries. Comfortable beds. Lovely bed linen and towels. Shower over bath was great. Small table and chairs outside each room so we enjoyed the evening sunshine. We were lucky enough to arrive on a Wednesday.. steak night. The steaks we had were amazing. Staff were friendly and efficient. Value for money for room and food was excellent. Car parking no problem. We had a great sleep. What more to say? We'll be back if need a room in this area any time. Thank you...
