Room was very clean. Shower above the bath worked ok but is rather outdated these days. Free parking was why I booked the hotel. Good central location in Newbury.

10/10 Exceptional

I enjoyed my stay here. Decent sized car park attached to the hotel, free for guests. The hotel is right in the centre of town and there's a great Nepalese restaurant a few doors along plus a good choice of High Street / Town Centre pubs. My room was beside the main road (the old A4 through the centre of Newbury) but I had no disturbance at all on having a lie-in on a Saturday morning, despite the single glazing. Would definitely stay again.

Plenty of Parking. Wonderful old character building. Wonderful staff extremely helpful and dedicated. Our room was very clean. Wooden framed sash windows could benefit from a freshen up with some paint but other than that a perfect stay & amazing value for money. Breakfast in the morning was very well presented & really flavoursome. Good choice of both Continental & full English. We also found Newbury to be a delightful historic town with plenty to offer. Would definitely stay with the Chequers hotel again!

Fair amount ot parking spaces but if you are going to Newmarket Racing then i would get there early, we arrived at around 12pm and managed to grab the last empty parking space thankfully. Staff were lovely, allowed us early check in and were very helpful with Taxis and restaurant recommendations (we ate in Burkha round the corner and the food was beautiful! I had one of the Executive rooms which was nice and spacious. Will definitely stay again next time i go to the races.
