Wonderful

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.
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...
Beautiful room with lovely furnishings. Friendly helpful staff. Perfect setting for exploring this area. Accessible for those with limited mobility too. Only dropped a couple of points - one on cleanliness because I found a bottle cap from a previous occupant by the side of the bed, and one for comfort because the bed bases are creaky and disturbed my sleep a little. Other than that everything else was spot on.
Stayed here for 2 nights for work. Overall was happy with the stay. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are above the bar/ restaurant and are like chalets. Generally clean, tidy, warm and well presented. Bed was really comfy. Only down side was the room was a bit dusty in places. I dropped something under the bed when i looked underneath I found a sock (not mine), tin foil and a bottle of aftershave. Clearly not been cleaned in a while. However, i would reocmmend and would stay again
The food at the Chequers was excellent. We had a great meal in the bar in the evening and breakfast was top class. The room was very comfortable but we found the tv small and difficult to view from the bed near the window. There was plenty of parking and we were able to park right outside our room which was on the ground floor. There was a nice sheltered little are to sit outside the room.
It was very convenient for Harrogate and Fountains Abbey which is just up the road and well worth a visit.
Check in was quick and easy though we weren’t given any information about breakfast and WiFi etc and there was nothing in the room so had to go back and find out more after we had checked in - worth asking when you check in.
We would recommend though - especially for the food!
Great place to stay. Quiet location and beautiful views. Lovely hotel. Rooms comfortable and cosy. Staff very friendly and food excellent. Easy to get to places of interest within a few miles.
