"A pleasant stay, only to be told off at breakfast, at the end."

Usual Premier Inn refinements, big comfortable bed, clean, plenty of space to move around, a good number of plug sockets, although there weren't any by the bed. Good location and easy to find by the main road, with a large and secure car park with plenty of space. £3/night parking was good value, considering the location and lack of free street parking nearby. However, the experience went downhill at the very end, when I had breakfast in the adjoining pub. The breakfast itself was fine - had the full English, freshly cooked to order and hot etc. I was told off, for putting a pain au chocolat in the toaster. Furthermore it wasn't just a small, quiet word, it was a condescending telling off, like I was naughty schoolchild in the middle of an almost packed dining area. Apparently I wasn't allowed to put a pain au chocolat in the toaster, as it was considered a fire risk (no, the pub didn't burn down that morning). There was no notice telling me, you can't put pain au chocolats in the toaster, only croissants weren't allowed (of which there were several notices saying so). One of the reasons saying why croissants weren't allowed, is because they couldn't fit. However, the pain au chocolats were not as tall as the croissants, and fitted fine, so I thought there wouldn't be a problem toasting it (and there wasn't any notices saying I couldn't). The lady in question who scolded me, said they had similar ingredients, and the butter which is contained in them would burn. Which is true, though that wasn't the reason displayed on the notices why croissants weren't allowed to be toasted, as well as the fact that a pain au chocolat isn't a croissant, nor is it a type of croissant. Now, the sign should specifically say "No croissants and pain au chocolats are allowed to be toasted", then it would be crystal clear. Or say, which items can be toasted. I doubt management would see this or act upon this (i.e. amend the signs), or discuss this issue with the lady in question, but just be warned about what you can or can't be toasted, despite what the sign is saying, and expect to be mind readers. I have yet to receive the usual follow up survey e-mail usually sent out after hotel stays, but when and if I do, I will of course be mentioning this grievance, which put an upsetting end to, what was otherwise a pleasant stay.

"Comfortable, hospitable & accessible shower room"

4 of us visiting friends in New Forest selected this Premier Inn staying for 2 nights . We booked one room for 2 elderly ladies on Ground Floor with walk in shower/wet room,. They separated the double bed into 2 singles. This was so they did not disturb one another when getting up during the night. One lady is 90 the other lin her 80’s The arrangement absolutely suited their needs. We were also allocated a room on the Ground Floor to be near to them , a double which also had a single couch bed in the room. We were made very welcome on arrival by the receptionists. Blue Badge parking adjacent to the entrance was most convenient ( but costing £3/night) The accommodation is functional and clean ideal for our purposes , and the beds superbly comfortable as always. Breakfast was served in an adjacent building. Help yourself to toast and coffee/tea etc. but the cooked breakfast was served to the table. So much better than having to collect from a servery. In addition a section of this building was open as a bar throughout the day with comfortable areas to sit and relax in with a coffee to chat, relax and watch large screen TV. This was Ideal as it was raining and gave us time to relax in comfort ( rather than in our room) before setting out later to visit our friends in the early afternoon . Meal deal was good value for Breakfast and Supper at £26.99. Although there is a superb and highly recommended Fish & Chip shop just a few hundred yards along on the opposite side of the road. Breakfast staff were friendly, very helpful, gave excellent service and very accommodating . Interestingly the TV in the rooms had their volumes limited, so they did not disturb the adjacent room. The Air Con/Heating worked surprisingly well. Suggest this is also a great choice for families with children wanting to visit the seaside in the Summer. Would definitely come again when visiting the area.
