Ramada Peterborough Country, Peterborough

Maybe it's time I stopped knocking Peterborough!

Advantages: Beautiful building packed with historical significance
Disadvantages: It's in Peterborough - enough said

I grew up just outside Salisbury and like most others in that location, I was successfully indoctrinated in the belief that there is no better architectural splendour on God's good earth than Salisbury Cathedral. My childhood was punctuated with afternoon field trips filling out work sheets, annual school carol concerts playing my clarinet very badly in the school orchestra and even two weeks of so-called post O'level 'work experience' playing in the cathedral shop. All these and more conspired to fill me with a sense of my home city's superiority in the cathedral stakes. By contrast Peterborough took on something of a bogey-man city status. As a student I would endure awful minibus journeys across the country to play ice-hockey at the Peterborough Ice Rink in the wee-small hours of the night. It seemed to be a place riddled ...

Review of Peterborough Cathedral

In and around Peterborough

Advantages: its easy to get the train into london
Disadvantages: flat countryside

events. Peterborough is of course home to the Posh , Peterborough foot ball club. Peterborough is not a town I would now wish to live in its too large. And the surrounding countryside too flat Here is a selection of places should you wish to escape from Peterborough for a short while I was at Peterborough tech 30+++ years ago I met my husband in Peterborough and we frequently visit relatives there and although Peterborough is ok to go to for a short break while I was living there I wanted many a short and longer break away.

Review of Peterborough in General

Marriott Hotel Peterborough

Advantages: Clean & very comfortable, good location, nice food
Disadvantages: None

We stayed at this Marriott Hotel in Peterborough for the night about a month ago now because we had been invited to a friends wedding there at the hotel. This hotel has 162 rooms and it is a 3 star hotel. The location is really tranquil and the hotel is surrounded by really nice pretty gardens and large green fields. We paid £90 for a double room and we got a discount for being guests at the wedding, i think breakfast is at a small extra cost but im not 100% sure so you would need to chack this. Its set within 11 acres or so of grounds adjacent to Peterborough's Main Business Park, we found this hotel really easy to find and very well signposted. We found the staff to be really friendly but extremely professional and helpful at all times. We got checked in really quickly and within 5 minuites we were in our room ...
