The Chequers Inn
Rookley, Isle of Wight
The Chequers Inn has developed twelve caravan pitches just a few minutes' stroll from its charming country pub. Being only a minute's drive to the village of Rookley, local amenities aren't far, and the site is surrounded by picturesque countryside, with plenty of walking and bike routes.
About The Chequers Inn
The site is located less than a minute to the nearest town and biggest attractions, making it a perfect location for exploring the island - in fact, the setting here is almost central to the entire Island! Facilities for the pitches include a water supply, compost toilet and waste disposal area. Guests can also use the pub facilities during opening hours. It's a laidback vibe welcoming family and dogs, and allows campfires/barbecues too. Roam as far and wide as you wish, safe in the knowledge that eats, and drinks will await back at base. The inn itself is a proper traditional pub that serves up breakfasts, lunches and dinners along with local ales and cool drinks. Food can be delivered to your pitch if you've run out of steam and fancy an easy night in.
Open from 17 May to 1 January
Facilities include toilets, located inside the pub and accessed during opening hours. Free WiFi access is provided at pub.
Being a stone's throw away from The Chequers Inn means in less than a minutes walk you can enjoy incredible homemade food, an ice cold pint of beer plus a large play area and indoor games room for children. The pub can also provide a cooked breakfast for an additional charge, which can be arranged on arrival. There's also a large beer garden outside for sunny days.
