Premier Inn High Wycombe / Beaconsfield

We had a lovely stay and would come back. The family room was clean and fresh, and the evening meal was delicious and arrived quickly. Breakfast at the brewers fayre was very good, and the two ladies in Christmas hats were especially friendly and welcoming. All the other staff were pleasant and helpful, and Kiran was a ray of sunshine at checkout. The person at reception wasn’t very welcoming when we first arrived and seemed to lack personality. Maybe it had been a long day.

Breakfast at the restaurant was good, though the whole place feels tired and ready for a refresh. The bedroom was fairly standard Premier Inn, but there were no plugs by the bed. There’s also a strange smell in the corridor behind reception, which I think is a permanent feature since it’s been there on previous visits. The bathroom really needs renovating. Some tiles are cracked or filled with silicone, there are dark marks in the grout, and black specks on the ceiling that might be mould.

I’d read the mixed reviews and seen mention that parking was limited because of refurbishment, but I found a space when I arrived, with plenty more outside the Brewers Fayre side later in the evening. For the price, it was a great deal. I was pleasantly surprised by the room and facilities. It was clean and comfortable, and had a kettle, mugs, tea, and coffee, which I hadn’t expected.

We stayed for one night in a family room. Our son was given a little welcome pack with a drink, biscuits, and colouring activities, which was a lovely touch. The room was tidy and clean, the bed comfortable, and the shower hot. We weren’t disturbed by noise from the hotel works, and the reduced parking mentioned in an email didn’t cause us any trouble. Dinner and breakfast were good. Ordering dinner took some effort because I had to repeat it several times, and despite the restaurant not being busy, there was a long wait between the main course and dessert.
