About The Chequers Inn
The Chequers Inn is a small traditional pub-with-rooms on The Street in Ashford, the kind of building where the bar and restaurant form the heart of the place rather than an afterthought to the accommodation upstairs. With only six rooms, it has the scale of a proper local rather than a hotel, and each room comes with its own en-suite bathroom and space to relax with a drink brought straight to you.
Guests get breakfast and free WiFi as standard, with packed lunches available for those heading out for the day, and there's a garden and outdoor seating for warmer evenings. The property offers accessible rooms and free on-site parking, plus a 24 hour reception for flexible arrivals. Food and drink are central here, with a restaurant and bar on site and further pubs and eateries within easy reach nearby.
Ashford's surroundings give plenty to do beyond the inn itself, with golf, fishing, horse riding and walking areas all nearby, along with local entertainment options. It suits those wanting a straightforward, unfussy base with a pub at its centre rather than a large-scale hotel experience.
People say this pub offers delicious and well-presented food, with many highlighting the excellent Sunday roasts and breakfasts. They also mention the comfortable rooms, some featuring spacious showers and large copper baths. Guests appreciate the friendly and attentive staff, as well as the peaceful atmosphere and lively bar.
