The accomodation was clean and tidy with basics of
tea/coffee/television and basic toiletries in the bathroom.
Food was available within the main building and was
\"usual\" pub fare, generous portions and for the area was
reasonably priced.
Would I stay there again?, if in the area and needed accom.. then YES I would book again.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable enough but no proper chair to sit at the desk, walls paper thin so no proper sleep due to a noisy neighbour and a loud fan right outside the door which was quite invasive. Kettle full of limescale and no pat test label on anything since 2021.

Very poor facilities in small room. Left after one night although booked for 2. Would never consider staying there again. Expensive for poor accommodation. Lino flooring, tv was US, No lights near the bed to read with, No shaver point. Ideal for poor students, but not OAP`s. Breakfast menu had cheaper prices in copy in the room than in the Public bar which were over the top. Pot of tea @ £3.30 each etc etc. Very disappointed.

I was disturbed by people moving about in the room above me just as I was about to go to sleep.
The host was very friendly.
I struggled to turn the cold water on in the shower so I had a very uncomfortable, hot shower. However my nephew, when he came to collect me shortly afterwards, had no problem turning the cold water on in the shower. So I’m not sure what the problem was!

Nice B&B / pub in Amersham

Was in Chesham area for a short business trip. Nice little B&B with several rooms behind the pub. Quiet, comfortable, clean bathroom, good WiFi. A little chilly on a December night in the room but not unbearable. Attentive and gracious host , who doubles as the proprietor of the attached pub (which also offers a nice dinner menu and beer selection). Great cooked to order full English breakfast in the pub as well. Very reasonable price and good value.

The host is amazing, can’t do enough for you. The room had a glass door with a small section as a window at the top. The bed was very hard and the pillow was very thin. It’s basic and overpriced. The surrounding area is run down, it’s on a busy road and doesn’t feel safe.

I went to the bar to log in and the person couldn't find it. I went to the toilet and on my return he had not found it but took me to a vacant room. The phrase \"couldn't swing a cat\" comes to mind. The bed was up against one wall and there was less than 2 foot from the bed to wall on the other 3. There was not room for a wardrobe. The tv was on a wall at right-angles to the bed so you got neck ache after 15 mins.
The shower was excellent. But the chemical toilet stank from my arriving to leaving. There was no plug in the washbasin.
The quilt was not as big as the bed and so it was on the floor after 5 mins of sleep.
HOWEVER, on arrival I asked about parking and was told \"it is anywhere to the right of the car park\". There were no bays for parking and so it was - park where you like!
On my return (approx 20:30) on the second night, there was nowhere to park. It was chaotic and several cars were blocked in.
I HAD TO PARK HALF A MILE AWAY IN OLD AMERSHAM. AS A BLUE BADGE HOLDER THIS WAS DISAPPOINTING, TO SAY THE LEAST.

Our room was spotlessly clean if a little dated. Plenty of storage space although there was no hair dryer or bedside lamps and only 1 plug available to use. Space around the bed was very limited but the bed itself was very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Yes I would return but I would request a downstairs room as I didn’t like the metal stairs and landing.

Room was far too small for 2 people

Very warm welcome and the food was excellent (breakfast and evening meal). But the big problem was the tiny twin bedded room we were given. It is the smallest room I have stayed in and I have stayed in a lot of rooms. It was nowhere near big enough for two adults and due to this did not feel welcoming or give me reason to spend much time in it. A fellow guest, was given a room that was double the size of ours and with two double beds and he was on his own. He also booked much later than I did and yet still ended up with a much bigger room all to himself. It was only a one night stay, which was just as well, two or three nights would have been unbearable in such a tiny room.
There were no rooms in the main house, which should have been stated in the listing. Speaking to fellow guests it was obvious that the smallest room was allocated to the only guests who were not single occupants.
So, great welcome, good food but terrible room.

We were on a trip to Wembley and this is a great little place to stay overnight. 15 minutes walk from the Tube and bars/restaurants in Amersham and just near a Tesco to stock up for the journey home!!

Rooms are small but comfy enough and absolutely spotless. Room only but paid £12 for a full English and a brew and it was really nice.

What makes it though are the staff, who are all lovely and extremely friendly.

Not Quite My Type of Stay (but otherwise nice)

Wasn't at all what I expected when I arrived. Car parking was a bit scrappy (cars everywhere, no marked bays). The staff were nice, but the meals were pretty pricey for what was effectively oven food. The room was very small, and I had to clean the shower before using it.
It would suit someone looking for an authentic English country type feel, but alas, it wasn't for me!

Don't stay here!

The room was cramped, the window could not be opened and there was no ventilation in either the bedroom or the bathroom, the radiator came on in the middle of the night so it became very hot and stuffy by the morning.
The shower was very small and the sliding door was hanging on by one wheel so it could not be closed, there was black mould all over the shower area.
The fairly large television appeared to be of good quality but it did not work as the signal was not strong enough.
There was only one double socket and the kettle had to be stood on the floor for it to be safely plugged in.
There was noise from the room above until the early hours of the morning.
I think it is the worst overnight stay I have ever had.
Admittedly it was fairly cheap but even on a budget one expects better conditions than this.

If you must stay in Amersham and are on a budget then The Chequers Inn will do a job, but don't expect much from the place. My room was dirty and the bed wasn't comfortable (I was only there for one night so perhaps this was an anomaly?). Even though this was the cheapest option in Amersham it feels very expensive for what it is.

Basic comfortable inn with no frills

The accommodation is attached to a local pub. It is very much a local. I have known the inn a long time and lived around the corner from it but never really used it. I get the impression that the accommodation is a fairly recent addition. The owners were friendly and welcoming and I was out most of the time so was not able to form a fuller opinion of their hospitality and went out for breakfast to meet family. The pub itself didn't feel very welcoming at check in however this may be a hang over from when I used to know it. The accommodation itself is basic, the room comfortable enough however the position of the bathroom door meant there was no room for a bedside table and no light switch to turn off the only light from the bed which was a bit annoying but pretty minor irritation. Onsite free parking was a bonus. Well located for Amersham and local routes.

Positives: Mattress was comfortable. Negatives: Smelly carpet. Rusting shower fittings. Architrave peeling off door, crude conversion of upper floor to letting rooms. Not particularly clean. Some road noise. Winding stairs tricky to use safely carrying luggage. Wash basin tap was ludicrously complicated to use - we couldn't get hot water out. Letting side desperately needs a make over. No sign of an owner when we were there, the bar maid let us in and that was all we saw. Fire - final escapes controlled by dead locks which I believe is illegal, ditto the gas boiler (with no cover) hanging off the stairwell wall on the only route out! Same price as a Premier Inn but no comparison in quality.
