"I recently returned from a two-night stay at this establishment. It served its purpose while we were there for a friend's birthday, but there are a few points I would like to mention for those considering booking here. Despite being advertised as a bed and breakfast on booking sites, there was no breakfast provided. The room was small and average, making it difficult to move around the bed. The only café in the village was closed on Saturdays, leaving only the local Coop or a trip to Skegness for food in the morning. The table in the room was covered in old spilled coffee, and there were dust and cobwebs present. The clean sheets were a positive aspect. The clock in the square chimed loudly every hour, keeping us awake throughout both nights. We were not warned about this beforehand. The room was positioned above the bar entrance, resulting in significant noise from people leaving for smoke breaks past midnight. The fire door in the corridor was propped open, potentially by another guest or the owners. The prices of beer were expensive compared to a pub nearby with a better tap selection. On the plus side, the pub offered affordable and generous portions of food until 7 pm. Parking in the square opposite was convenient. Additional milk, tea, and coffee were provided for the rooms. We would not choose to stay here again at such a high price, especially after finding cheaper and better-quality accommodations in the same village. We considered requesting a refund for the lack of breakfast. Check-out involved leaving the key in a tub near the residents' entrance."

"Whilst staying locally over the August Bank Holiday weekend, we happened to find the Old Chequers Inn on our way back to the holiday park from a day out with the family in Skegness. We were looking for somewhere to eat after a full and...tiring day, Signposted off the A52 we chanced the slight deviation from the main road, and are ever glad that we did! Welcoming staff advised us that tables were available and that they were mid food service. We ordered Rib Eye Steaks, Pie of the day, Chilli Con Carne for the adults and pasta and chicken nuggets for the kids. The food arrived promptly and the portions were very generous, even accommodating a chips for jacket substitution on one of the Steaks. Well, the food was delicious, cooked to perfection and great value for money, so much so, that we chanced an opportunity to book for a Sunday roast for us all the very next day. We were told that although the pub only usually served until 3pm, but they would likely still be taking orders until 4pm, and that they could fit us in, we were overjoyed at the lengths that the team here went to accommodate us and would like to thank them all for making our visits thoroughly enjoyable! If you are ever out this way and travelling back from Skegness down the A52 towards Boston, look out for the brown signposts to this place. You will not regret it! If I could rate more than 5, I most certainly would!"

"Unfortunately the only coffee available was filter coffee. After chosen lunch from the specials board was advised they had run out, shame it hadn’t been taken off the board. Then advised there was no baguettes left but they could do sandwiches but only had white...bread. The table next to us was then told they had run out of bread, so guessed we had the last of the bread and it was only so not even at the end of the lunch service. We then ordered scones but unbelievably they only had two left and there was four of us. So we declined the offer of half of one each. The lunch we did have was enjoyable but I have never experienced a tea room that has ran out bread or scones before. They advised us they were busy the day previous, shame nobody went to the supermarket to stock up."
