Peterborough (Ferry Meadows)

Lovely staff at the reception but unfortunately the room was just so hot and stuffy that we would not return here. It was too hot to actually be in the room, and hotter than it was outside, so very little sleep was had. It was a shame having a good check out time but we had to leave really early just to escape the heat of the room! (Room 8)

Ferry meadows was in a great location for me and my friend when we came for Under in May! The hotel was close to where we needed to be and was so easy to get an uber to and from. Just eat also delivered which was a life saver!!! (There is also a restaurant next door, but we didn’t use this!). There’s also plenty of parking onsite, make sure to register your reg at check in! Our room was clean and well presented, really worth the money we paid! Only down side is the customer who stayed the night before had been smoking in the room and you could tell. The bathroom reeked of smoke.

Friendly welcome was received from us on entry was told everything we needed to know,really great value and a great nights sleep,there is a beefeater attached where you can get food and drink which we wasn’t impressed with the food but friendly enough staff

This a exceptional good hotel and beefeater, all the staff were excellent and would recommend it to anyone.The Nean valley railway was so close you could here the train whistles from the hotel and we got to see the Flying Scotsman as well.xxxx

Great low cost hotel, always clean and the rooms are great. A family visit needed a hotel for 1 night, stayed before at Ferry Meadows always had a great experience there hence another return visit. will be back visiting Family later in year and will certainly return to Ferry Meadows

Not impressed. Despite being only a one-storey hotel (=2 storey US), there was a lot of creaking as of people walking about from upstairs throughout the night. The food arrangement (there is a Beefeater restaurant next door which is used by the Premier Inn) didn't have the usual range of types of food you would expect with a PI hotel. I ordered steak as it was supposed to be the speciality ('Beefeater") and it was dry and tough. Plus they charge surcharges on all the most expensive dishes on the menu, but (in my case) do not let you know until afterwards that that will be done. Unlike most PIs the breakfast was only partly self-service (the Continental section), cooked breakfast was not self-service. Restaurant service - people were very helpful which partly (but not completely) made up for the poor food. I was given a disability suit in the hotel despite not requesting such. I would rather have known they were short of rooms and gone elsewhere - the suite (appropriately for a wheelchair user) had everything (at waist height which would have been great if I was in wheelchair (and great that they provide these for people who require them) and a very low, soft bed, all of which gave me backache. All my clothes dragged on the ground as hooks were so low. I would in fact recommend the hotel for it's disability facilities for a wheelchair user (but not the restaurant, which has very heavy doors). After many years of being quite impressed with Premier Inns throughout the UK I was very disappointed with the Ferry Meadows hotel and would prefer to go to the one in central Peterborough on another occasion.
