We spent three nights at the Chequers while touring the Peak District recently. We'd tried to book somewhere in Bakewell but everywhere seemed to be full, but we ended up pleased we came to the Chequers. The location was perfect, only a few minutes from Chatsworth and a short drive from all the main places of interest. The staff were... More

The Chequers is a lovely old country pub with creaky uneven floors and loads of character. The food is *****excellent - more high class restaurant than pub grub. Not that cheap but worth every penny. The room was comfy and clean and the staff very helpful. Excellent breakfast too which was included in the room price. Would recommend wholeheartedly.

Just returned from three nights at the Chequers. It was a great place with a very comfortable room. The staff were really friendly and the food was amazing. Breakfast kept us going until evening dinner! Will certainly go again.

I have visited The Chequers Inn on many occasions. Today I went for lunch with a friend. We both had an excellent meal sat by the log burner. My friend had never been before and was very impressed. A great atmosphere and a fab place to call for a half way break and treat when out on a walk in... More

Amazing food, all fresh and local produce. Staff are friendly. Room was lovely and big, with a massive bathroom and amazing bath tub and seperate shower cubical. After reading some reviews on here I can see things did need freshening up - bit of paint here and there, slight bit of damp, creeky floorboards, but all adds to character. Only... More

Passed here many times and finally paid a visit today! Wonderful lunch. Local produce used. Excellent presentation and tasted delicious! Hubby had a local beer and said it was excellent too! Staff very helpful, friendly and professional.
