Premier Inn Peterborough City Centre Hotel Peterborough
Right outside the hotel, you’ve got Peterborough Cathedral. It’s a stunner. Seriously, go see it. It’s older than most countries. They’ve got a massive Norman tower that looks like it was built by a very determined giant. Also, the city centre is packed with chain shops and a pretty decent market. You can buy a weird hat or fresh cheese. Your choice.
Food-wise, you’ve got a Wetherspoon’s across the street. It’s a Spoons, so you know the drill—cheap beer, giant breakfasts, and the feeling that you’re in a pub that time forgot. But if you want something fancier, there’s a lovely Italian place called Prezzo a two-minute walk away. I ate there and didn’t spill anything on my shirt. That’s a five-star review in my book.
Oh, and the Peterborough United football stadium is a short walk. If you’re a footie fan, you’ll love it. If not, just pretend you care and enjoy the atmosphere. “Great tackle, lads!” That’s all you need to say.
But What About the Breakfast?
Alright, let’s address the elephant in the room. The breakfast. Premier Inn does an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. It’s a magical place. You get the full English: bacon, sausages, eggs (fried or scrambled, you heathen), beans, mushrooms, and toast. Then there’s a continental section with pastries, cereal, and yogurt. I’ve seen grown adults weep with joy at the juice machine.

My pro tip: go early. Like, 7 a.m. early. You’ll get the freshest sausages and avoid the chaos of families with toddlers. Or go at 9:30 a.m., right before it closes. That’s when you get the most bacon because they’re trying to clear it out. I’m not proud of this knowledge. I’m just sharing what I’ve learned.
Is it worth the £10 or so? Yes. Absolutely. You’ll waddle out feeling like a happy, overfed king. Or queen. Or royal penguin.
