Disappointed by the booking system
Cons:

I booked a double room to stay at The Chequers Inn on Booking.com. Despite email confirmation when I made the booking on 23rd May when I arrived on 13th September there was no room for me, no booking in the system. The Chequers staff offered to make up a sofa bed for me in one of my friend’s rooms as they were fully booked. I stayed for dinner which was really lovely, the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. Do not just turn up however and expect that your booking has gone through their system with Booking.com, something went very wrong and I ended up driving 80 miles home

Lovely room but check services offered and price prior to paying
Pros:

The staff were friendly and the room was so
Spacious and to high standard

Cons:

I was charged more on arrival than the price quoted on booking. I was also charged for breakfast as part of this price but was informed by the staff they don't serve breakfast on weekday, so booking details were also incorrect
