Good - 3.5 out of 5

Disaster averted but disappointed with...

Liked: Food, service and cleanliness very good as was decor and room accessories with en suite.
Disliked: Arrived in the teeth of a storm to be directed to Chequers half a mile away. No prior warning from booking.com and we had already booked breakfasts and evening meals. Informed all meals served at lifeboat therefore half mile walk along narrow unlit road in evening or drive and forego alcohol. As it was a wedding anniversary trip and the weather was inclement we were upset and asked to see manager. After some work on the computer he arranged for us to have a nice room at lifeboat but it was ground floor at back of hotel and we had no view and were unable to see through frosted glass window.Staff explained that this often happened with booking.com guests who were located in chequers with no warning and was an issue they were pursuing with booking.com.

A lovely minibreak!

Liked: Our room was at The Chequers and breakfast at The Lifeboat Inn .Both were excellent. Our room was tastefully decorated and ,although small , you did not feel claustrophobic. Fresh milk , lovely toiletries and slept well . Lovely breakfast with great choice of menu ! Will be returning! Staff are very cheerful and helpful .

Comfortable and clean - lovely...

Liked: Clean and comfortable
Disliked: It wasn’t clear when we booked that we wouldn’t actually be staying in the Lifeboat Inn but in its annexe which was a 10 min walk away. If we had known we wouldn’t have booked - when we realised it was too late to cancel. It was fine at the Chequers but not what we had planned.
