Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff were pleasant, the Pub was a bit run down but comfy, but the most annoying thing was they removed half the menu at a moments notice, just as we sat down to order, this resulted in us walking half a mile away and having a meal at another pub spending in excess of a £150.00. sorry would not recommend, shame .

Will be coming back
We had a lovely stay at the chequers over Easter. Room was lovely - bed super comfy. Nice touches of decent shampoo/ shower gel etc. And I don't think I saw on the listing, but a TV with access to Netflix etc. Good location for going to walks / biking. There's a public footpath right next to the pub and a few biking options a short drive away. Breakfast was delicious. We ate in the pub both nights, food was lovely and service was great. And on the Saturday night was treated to a brilliant local jazz band. All round great, friendly service from the team. Would definitely recommend.

A beautiful place to stay with warm staff
Stayed here mid week as part of a work trip . A fantastic find . the manager (Caroline) couldn’t have been any better . Amazing service , great choice of drinks . I had the burger for evening meal and it was “banging” a great meal . The lib is set in a beautiful little village backing on to a small water feature . Plenty of parking and good wifi . Shower in the room was lovely . I will certainly look forward to staying here when i’m next in the area

We had a wonderful stay at The Chequers in Lamberhurst for our wedding anniversary. All of the staff were lovely! so warm and friendly. It is a beautiful property, still full of charm yet tastefully and beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, inside and out. The food was all freshly prepared and delicious! A Huge Thank You to All the Team at The Chequers for absolutely fantastic stay!
