Peterborough Cathedral

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Peterborough Cathedral is a medieval church known for its grand Gothic facade and offers tours, tower visits in the summer, and choral recitals. The cathedral has a rich history dating back over 1,000 years and has survived invasions, wars, and King Henry VIII's Dissolution of Monasteries.
A beautiful piece of magnificent history right in the centre of town. So many stories to discover and amazing architecture to admire. Well worth a visit and if you're lucky, you might hear the choir practising, or the organist playing a tune!

A beautifully designed and built cathedral. Are there better ones - depends upon what is considered better, this one is full of history and stunning architectural details. There was a 5 pound charge to visit the chancel but I did not think that excessive considering the maintenance costs on this building. If you visiting Peterborough, this is not to be missed. Also a lovely place for some self reflection and hop out of the daily trials of life.

What a great cathedral. The architecture is amazing and walking inside its so spacious and the art work is amazing. Such a peaceful place. The cathedral is right in the city centre of Peterborough and you can’t miss it with the walk way leading to it. The cathedral looks so beautiful and grand from the outside and when you walk in it looks so nice
Paul S — Google review
An impressive building with the three arches. The Nave is beatiful too with the wooden ceilings, etc. An amazing building. But, I was disappointed to find that in order to visit the chancel and other areas at the back of the cathedral, I would have to pay an entrance fee of £5.50, you have to buy tickets at the information desk. There is no clear signage of that being the case, nothing to inform me of this. You need to be more clear as it does not say on your website or indeed on any signage that I looked at that there is a fee.

Like majority of Cathedrals in the UK, Peterborough cathedral has stunning Gothic architecture and a real sense of history. The intricate ceilings and beautiful stained glass are breathtaking, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect place to pause and reflect.
Gary C — Google review
I have visited a lot of Cathedrals over the year across England, and this has to be one of best that l have seen. l was very impressive with both the inside and the outside of this cathedral. I would highly recommend coming here. The cathedral is free to visted, but there is a donation box/card reader if you would like give something.

We visited on a Friday morning, parking in the large Car Haven Car Park and walking 450m to the Cathedral via St. Peters Road. On entering the Close, one is greeted by the enormous West Front, completed in 1238 in Early English Gothic style, dominated by three huge arches, and much wider than the rest of the mostly Norman design Cathedral that hides behind it. The West door leads directly into the Nave with its three vertical levels and amazing painted wooden ceiling, which dates from the first half of the 13th century and is the only one of its type surviving in Britain. Turning about, one is introduced to two portraits of one of the Cathedral’s most famous people, Robert Scarlett (“Old Scarlett”), the Sexton for many of his 98 years, and who buried two Queens in the Cathedral before he was buried there himself in 1594. Peterborough Cathedral has little stained glass and few monumental sculptures, so thorough a job did Oliver Cromwell’s soldiers do when ordered to ransack the building in 1643. Indeed, it is remarkable that the Cathedral survived because much of its lead was looted, and masonry carted off. Fortunately the stunning early 16th Century fan vaulting in the New Building survived, and Cathedral repairs and restoration began during the Restoration of the Monarchy in the 1660s and continued extensively in the 19th Century. One can take a one-hour “Highlights” tour of the Cathedral for £6, and our capable guide Sue introduced us to the pomegranate-adorned grave of Katharine of Aragon (the first wife of Henry VIII), the memorial to Mary Queen of Scots (interred at Peterborough until 1612 before being moved to Westminster Abbey), and the Hedda Stone, which is the best preserved and largest Anglo-Saxon sculpture in the country (and a source of much speculation as to what it represents). If taking the tour, add another hour to explore the rest of the Cathedral.
David R — Google review
This cathedral really surprised me in the best possible way. It’s not one of the more famous cathedrals in the UK, but honestly, it deserves a lot more attention than it gets. The west front is just jaw-dropping, with enormous Gothic arches creating a truly dramatic entrance. Inside, it’s a fascinating blend of architectural styles. You’ve got the Norman nave with its bold, geometric arches, and then other parts that lean into later Gothic. It's a pleasant mix to take in, visually and historically. It’s a peaceful space, but not stuffy or overly curated. Staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable, and it never feels overly commercialised. All in all, a hidden gem that’s worth the trip. If you like cathedrals and haven’t been to Peterborough, you’re missing out.

Ferry Meadows in Nene Park, also known as Fedz Meds to locals, is a popular destination for various outdoor activities such as walking, fishing, and horseback riding. It's a favorite spot for dog owners who come here rain or shine to walk their furry friends and socialize with other dogs. The park features play parks, walking and cycling paths, horse rides, fishing opportunities, and stunning scenery.
An amazing largescale park with lake and river side trails through many different types of landscape from woodland to meadow which provides access to a huge range of wildlife. In addition there are many other amenities within the area including two cafes and a visitor centre alongside various activity zones. Whether visiting the area or as a local resident there are so many things to see and do. Definitely worth a visit!

My girlfriend and I came here, and it's a lovely walk. In some sections, it feels very close to nature, while others are clearly designed for children to play. It's a wonderful place for a quiet day out.

We loveeeee this place! Wonderful green spaces, the paddling activities are so fun, the people are very helpful - it's such a lovely place to bring your own picnic and just relax. (In all transparency, we've only ever done day visits for a few hours so I can't speak to how the bathrooms or tents or food is)

Beautiful place has a lot to offer, play areas, BBQ, pedal boats, and lots of walking trails. A small train that takes you on a tour of the park, cafes and toilet facilities. Various parking locations which you pay when you leave. Very pretty place, would definitely return for another visit.

Visited here for the Saturday morning parkrun. Loads of onsite parking which is only £1 for park runners. This is very well attended event , with 600 people on the day. The park is great with loads of facilities including toilets, cafes etc. The run is two out and back loops, there are some 2way parts that get a little squeezed but for most of it there is plenty of room. Its all flat and alot of tarmac so its a fast course. Lots of marshalls all doing a great job, this is a must visit parkrun.
Paul — Google review
Parking £4-8. Very beautiful and scenic. Cafe was busy and their way of doing drinks was odd, tea was made and put on the tray but we had to wait for the coffee (they hold back the tray) so tea was cold. Coffee was around £4, cake £4 . Watersports and activities available on site for extra charges. Picnic area and play park. Short walk around the lake and some other paths that we didn't get chance to visit as it was just a short visit.

History museum
Museums
Nestled in an 18th-century stone townhouse on Priestgate, Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery offers a captivating journey through history and art. With over 200,000 artifacts, the museum delves into the human and natural history of Peterborough and its surrounding Fenland area. Visitors can explore interactive displays featuring everything from Jurassic sea-monsters to original manuscripts by poet John Clare.
A great museum and I particularly enjoyed the Doctor Who exhibition (£5). Very well set out with lots to enjoy. The cafe was great too!

A gem of a museum. We were there for the Dr Who exhibition running until November 2025. It's a mis of props and models from the early and great years of Dr Who. At the same time there was an exhibition of the artwork of Jeff Cummins who also created amazing Who artwork that was used for books and Radio Times covers. It was also special as one of our party, Andrew Donkin, worked with Jeff many years back and that collaboration was on show!

Archaeological museum
Flag Fen Archaeology Park is a fascinating 3,500-year-old archaeological site located in Peterborough, England. It features Bronze Age causeway remains and reconstructed round houses that provide insight into the ancient settlement. The site is believed to have been used for religious ceremonies and consists of over 60,000 timbers forming a wooden causeway across the wet fenland.
Great expérience with the family. The viking festival was full of history and fun for the kids too with children trying out on the battlefield to beat the vikings. The site is a lot bigger than we expected and full of re-enactment actors and actress explaining how things work for the children. It feels like step back in time. Definitely coming back again

Very interesting artefacts and archaeological finds in a small but beautiful setting. I learned a lot. It was also great to see how much education they give to young children about fossils, extinct animals and the whole iron and bronze age way of life. Nice cafe and local book area at the entrance too.

Great place to visit especially when they have an event on. This time we went to see their halloween event, which included broom making, a spooky maze, majic wand building and pumpkin carving. We were even greated by the grim reaper at the door. Food was tasty and our toddller loved it!
Stefan C — Google review
Great day out here on the way home from holiday. Plenty to see, the shed with the preserved in situ track way being a favourite. The museum is small but very interesting. Some aspects could maybe do with improved information. We went being quite knowledgeable about archaeology, and having been before 10 years ago, but a casual visitor might need more information.

Brilliant morning exploring the archaeology park. Really helped bring the history to life for me and my son. Was surprised how empty it was, but they were setting up lots of activities ready for the school holidays.

First time visit here, on a bit of a cold and wet day. Really fascinating to see the Must Farm boats here, as well as the roundhouses. Very sad to see the burnt remnants of the mindless vandalism from earlier in the summer. Great museum - almost missed it on the far side of the site. Lots of activity points for kids. Friendly staff and nice muffins! I also befriended the sheep.

Nature preserve
Nene Park Peterborough is a nature lover's paradise, offering a wide range of outdoor activities for visitors. From cycling and water sports to nature trails, the park has something for everyone. The natural beauty of the park provides an ideal setting for families to enjoy picnics and play in the open fields. With two cafes and shops on site, visitors can easily access refreshments and amenities.
I took 3 of my children today and was pleasantly surprised on all the new work that has been done. The new welcome sign which is a bug hotel the newly renovated toilets and learning centre. They also have a water filling station for your drinks bottles now which was lovely and cool. They have also done a lot of landscaping work and tidying up which is really noticeable. They also had a summer fun help yourself and return section. It was a bike with a large box in the front that you could take a Frisby, football or a cricket set to use and return once you have finished. I thought this was a great idea. Ferry Meadows well done and great improvement to an already lovely park.

Beautiful place, very scenic with walks around a lake. Several water activities are available for extra cost. Cafe on site, cake £4, coffee £4 roughly so pretty standard prices. Unfortunately they were busy and made the tea then we had to wait that long for the coffee to be made, when we sat finally finished the order,the tea was cold. Dog friendly place . Picnic areas and seating available. Also designated BBQ areas but never saw any whilst there. Parking fees start from £4-8 for entry.

A very nice area to visit, plenty of lovely walking & resting places around the lake. I often walk through the park on my way to Peterborough from Wandsford. On the north side there is a great riverside boardwalk route along by the river, very good views of the river, worth a visit.

Sacrewell Farm

Mentioned on

Park
Sights & Landmarks
Sacrewell Farm is a charming destination for families, offering a delightful day out in the beautiful countryside near Peterborough. The farm features an 18th-century watermill and tractor rides, providing entertainment for visitors of all ages. It's home to rare breeds of animals such as sheep, pigs, ponies, goats, cows, and donkeys. Visitors can engage with the animals through feeding sessions and explore the outdoor spaces while enjoying stunning views.
We came here to break up a long journey and rather than spending a few hours we were there more than 5. The food is good. But the play spaces were awesome. My kids declared it the best day of the holiday! . I would say it's expensive but worth it for a family day out.
Lynsey J — Google review
Had a great day out here with our toddler. Loads of farm animals which you can watch and pet, great for a kid learning about the world. The play areas were super impressive, and we went on a sunny Sunday and had plenty of room to run about. We left our boy's cup in the cafe and the kept it for us until we remembered. Dog friendly which means more furry friends to pet! Very clean too. We'll be back for sure.
Beki M — Google review
We came for the day to have some fun at the farm. There wasn't a lot of animals there today on our visit, in the past there have been more. The heritage mill is fascinating and the children love the old farm machinery. The soft play is great for ages up to about 10 and the park has been expanded so there's plenty to do there. We didn't eat on this experience but when we have eaten here before it's been nice and the service was quick. They had some Halloween activities on and the children enjoyed the crafts. Lovely day out for the little ones.

Today was our first visit to this farm and I’m sure it won’t be the last. It was fantastic. So many things to do for children. Lots of play areas. Nature trails around the farm with more interactive play along the way. We didn’t go inside the play barn we ran out of time being outside. Next time we will explore that area too.

We visited for the Halloween pumpkin event. We love Sacrewell, the park is such a good size and the kids love the maze. My children aged 6 and 3 also love the soft play area. The mill is lovely and we enjoyed looking around. There were Halloween decorations up and the kids enjoyed using the little wheelbarrows to wheel around their pumpkins. We ate in the restaurant and the pizza and burger meals were tasty. Plenty of choice. We look forward to our next visit.

An excellent family day out. Took our 2 grandchildren ages 6 and 4 and everything was accessible and appropriate for them. The play areas dotted around the site are excellent and love the fact that many feel natural and organic. Fun to see the animals and get up close to many. Would definitely recommend for a full day out with happy children!
Janice V — Google review
I spent £38 for what was supposed to be a fun day out but we ended up leaving in less than an hour. For that price all we got was access to a muddy and dirty pumpkin field with most pumpkins either damaged or covered in dirt. The crafting area was dark messy and had an unpleasant smell with no staff around to help or supervise. The pumpkin carving activity was basic and honestly something you could just do at home. Overall the experience did not match the cost. They really need to either lower their prices or improve their facilities and activities because it was very poor value for money. There was nothing interesting for children and the whole place felt empty dull and miserable. I am not someone who usually complains but this visit was truly disappointing. I would not recommend going in October as it was just expensive boring and overall a let down.

It’s actually a really good set up and would get 5 stars if it wasn’t ludicrously expensive for adults. Silly pricing means we only go in emergencies and we live in the next village. Such a shame.

Elton Hall and Gardens is an opulent stately home with a rich history dating back to the 15th century. It has been in the Proby family for over 400 years and stands proudly in unspoilt landscaped parkland. The hall features a mix of architectural styles from different periods, including a 15th-century chapel with vaulting. The formal gardens boast a gothic orangery, sunken garden, and arboretum, offering visitors a picturesque setting to explore.
A very individual experience with excellent guides in every room. Lots of in depth history knowledge. The library rooms are stunning. Gardens are lovingly tended. For those visitors wanting to explore Elton and beyond there are very nice walks through farmland and woods direct from the car park. Garden Centre meals are very good quality but remember to book a table in advance of visit at Bosworths.

Well worth a visit but limited opening means you'll need to plan ahead. The house is gorgeous and you'll rarely see such a good collection of art and quite a bit by greats like Constable, Turner, Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds, and Millais. All the art is properly lit too so you can really see the detail and the colours properly (unlike many stately homes which are grimly lit). The guides are great too. Chatty and knowledgeable. One small point, a couple of the rooms had 'planograms' of the art which was really helpful. Please do this for all the rooms. It really will enhance the experience. The gardens are really sweet and beautifully curated and kept. Boswell's Garden Centre on the site is well worth a visit and I can't fault the cream tea (really good scones which may be even better than the great National Trust offering). The hot food looked great too. Maybe next time. I will return later in the year to see how the gardens develop over the seasons.

No organisation whatsoever on a Bank Holiday regarding parking, with no signage or information on the website when you book it, which I did last minute, because you don't know what the weather is going to be like, probably still in the 2020 mode!! We was waiting nearly half an hour nearby to find out about the parking, so was late for our pre-booked time slot because of the lack of information. I didn't think the gardens were worth paying £9.50 for, they were nice but hardly the biggest!

Elton Hall was a beautiful house in a myriad of architectural styles from Medieval to Regency. The rooms are between luxurious and elegant comfort. The rooms are neither too big nor too small. You start from the Medieval chapel, an Octagonal room which doesn’t look octagonal from the outside, a lovely elegant marble hall with a beautiful marble statue, the upstairs Octagonal room, a room full of Sir Josua Reynolds’ paintings of the the family, some very Regency- Rococo drawing rooms, with beautifully muted green wallpaper, and yellow wallpaper. A room full of a collection of paintings of the fifth Earl, one by Alma-Tadema A Dedication to Baccus (different from Wikipedia) and The Commentator on the Koran by John Frederick Lewis were particularly memorable and impressive, especially the silver pot, the marble floor (Alma-Tadema) the carpets, the cats, the clothes, the Chinese porcelain, the flowers (Lewis), everything was beautiful painted. The same room contained Eastward Ho! by Henry O’Neil which depicted soldiers going off to India, which toured the country and 540,000 people went to see the painting. It was the tweet/Instagram that went viral of its day. There is another painting which depicted the soldiers return 3 years later (not displayed). A nearby Landseer painting depicted a faithfully painted dog among birds. Many dining room paintings were later bought by the ninth Earl and Lady to make the room seem more 18th century. The only things which looked less luxurious were perhaps the dining room chairs, which felt a bit simple, but the table could stretch to fit 24 for dinner. The gardens were peaceful and lovely, though I’m not sure about the fountain in the big Flower garden, I would have preferred a more classical design. The Orangerie is lovely though at first easily missed as you go through a little arch door among the topiary. I feel like the gardens would definitely look even more gorgeous in May or June rather than August. All in all a beautiful, elegant, calm, comfortable and homely house. Having visited Burghley house a few weeks earlier, even though Burghley House was more stately and impressive, this is the house that I would love to return to more often. The staff in each of the rooms were so friendly and helpful, and gave an introduction each time people entered. Elton Hall is definitely on my Favourites list of historic houses that I’ve visited, out of more than 30+ houses and castles.

Burghley House is a magnificent Italian-influenced Tudor-era mansion set in over 810 hectares of Capability Brown-designed gardens. The grand sixteenth-century English country home boasts opulent staterooms and is still inhabited by descendants of its original owner, William Cecil. Visitors can explore the beautiful Sculpture Garden and enjoy a cream tea in the stunning Orangery. Additionally, the estate hosts the renowned Burghley Horse Trials in early September. The house is located just 1.
A must-see! We were truly impressed by Burghley House – a stunning Elizabethan mansion with breathtaking architecture and beautifully preserved interiors. The gardens are just as spectacular, especially the Sculpture Garden and the fun, interactive Garden of Surprises. A perfect mix of history, art, and nature. Highly recommended!

Burghley House is really impressive and worth seeing. The building itself is huge and full of history, with amazing details inside and out. Walking through the rooms feels like stepping back in time, and there’s so much to look at you could easily spend hours there. The staff were friendly and happy to answer questions, which made the visit even better. Outside views of the house are just as stunning, especially if the weather is good. It’s the kind of place that makes you go “wow” when you first see it.

It's a huge pile of a place with plenty to see, enormous gardens designed by Capability Brown and a wealth of treasures on view. They are a bit economical with the truth regarding where the money actually came from: if truth be told, political fingers were very much in the till several centuries ago. Clearly nothing has changed! To be frank, I found it rather soulless and dark, especially on an autumn day that started somewhat gloomily. You may love it; I have seen country homes that I warmed to a lot more than this.

The House is closed for private functions every Friday & typically, I went on a Friday! 🤦 The walking trails, cafe & shop are still open though & I managed to get a few photos of the outside of the house. It is absolutely stunning & although I may have been able to get some more shots on the other side of the house, it was absolutely sweltering so I contented myself with these & will capture the rest when I can actually visit the property fully at some point. Definitely recommended, just not on a Friday!

The most beautiful palace we have ever visited. It is clear that the owners put great effort into ensuring visitors have access to a wealth of information and a truly enriching experience. The part open for sightseeing is absolutely magnificent – stunning ceiling paintings, the enchanting Heavenly Room, the impressive kitchen, and the elegant library hall. From the windows, you can admire the garden, not accessible to visitors, yet captivating with its carefully and imaginatively trimmed shrubs. The park area is vast, with sections available for free walks as well as paid entry. One of the highlights was spotting a herd of deer behind the fence, including two rare white ones.

A beautiful house well preserved and the art and paintings are incredible. However it cost £22 to go in to the house and you only see a small part of the house. Couldn't go up to the very top and missed alot of levels. The garden is nice to explore with all the waterfalls

Queensgate Shopping Centre

Shopping mall
Shopping
Queensgate Shopping Centre is a major indoor mall in Peterborough, serving as a regional shopping hub. It was inaugurated by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands in 1982 and underwent modernization in the early 2010s, with plans for further enhancements including a multi-screen cinema. The center features an array of midmarket brands like H&M, John Lewis, River Island, Superdry, and M&S.
I came across a hidden gem. A small independent shop called Unity, a collection of local crafters and small businesses offering an amazing selection of goods. Great for pressies or to treat yourself. Supporting local charities like Up The Garden Bath

Not a bad shopping center, plenty of shops to choose from. The parking is awful, I have a big car, scraped my wheels on the way out as the car parks are too narrow...same with the parking spaces, if you cant get a middle space your passenger can't get out as there are big concrete beams right where they are. Parking cost is reasonable, and there were plenty of spaces even on a Saturday afternoon. Just a let down that they have tried to cram too many cars into the multi story car parks. The place is over run with young teens though, some of which are fighting, throwing random things about and being a general nuisance.

Queens Gate is a great, big market with lots of shops. Only issue is the toilet—too far and hard to reach. For such a large place, there should be more toilets for easier access.

August 2025 I came to this place after 7 years and it hasn't changed much. It's a good one stop place to shop and eat snacks and have coffee. There were few stores that were closed down but the wall art has added a feature to the place. Paddington bear sitting on the bench was a cute stop and click point for shoppers. The English style phone booth also looked interesting. The only downside of the centre is it's parking and shop connection. It was very confusing to enter the shops from the parking. Clear signage is required especially for visitors from our of town. We parked on level 4 and after going up and down the levels by stairs, finally found the shopping centre entrance.

Big shopping complex with multiple stores, great place to spend time with family on weekends. I saw a lot of comments regarding toilets, Those are available on Level 1 and Level 11 ( Take Some lift ) else you will revolve around the mall

Visiting this mall was less a shopping trip and more an existential crisis. The décor whispered of better days long gone, while the atmosphere radiated the kind of despair usually reserved for abandoned train stations. I didn’t shop,I simply mourned. This mall doesn’t sell happiness — it sells depression in bulk.

Queensgate shopping center was extremely busy. I went there at least three times the past week during the day and during the weekend all the times that I went tothere were busy. It has a lot of restaurants. It has a lot of shops and it’s near the Peterborough Cathedral this place is perfect For visiting. Perfect for having lunch kids friendly he just has so much to do there. I will recommend to go during weekday as it is less busy.

Undercover Shopping centre full of various shops full of a range of interesting merchandise. ie. Primark, Greggs, Boots, Superdrug. Also Odeon Cinema and indoor Golf. 5min walk to the Cathedral and other shops in the city centre. Queensgate is attached to the bus station and car park. (well signposted from the major route Parkways) It is a 5min walk from the Railway Station.

The Key Theatre is a modern cultural and entertainment venue featuring a 94-seat studio and main auditorium. It serves as an unconventional wedding reception venue, offering bespoke menu packages and in-house wedding planners. Visitors can also enjoy dramatic performances at the theater, followed by a relaxing day at Ferry Meadows Country Park. The theater, built in 1973, struggled initially but has now found its place with a second smaller auditorium and a better understanding of its audience's needs.
Fantastic pantomime again! We are repeat visitors and already looking to book next year! The cast and performance are spectacular and very very funny with a range of jokes that suit all ages and as usual really get the audience both kids and adults involved in the performance. The key theatre itself is superb with great facilities and staff whom are efficient and welcoming. A family of three adults and a child all had a full set of snacks and drinks for under £30 so very reasonable! Book now and don't be late to avoid disappointment. Supundedoesnt do it justice!

Relatively small venue with a nice feel. Well kept, comfortable seating. We were here to see a comedian recently, seated in Row L. We were only a couple of rows from the back, but the view was great. The sound quality was admirable and I would welcome the opportunity to hear an acoustic set or small band in the venue. The seating is tiered with steps running the length of both sides of the auditorium. Stairs are relatively shallow and a hand rail runs the full length.

This evening, I had the pleasure of watching Annie, performed by Westwood Musical Society Peterborough at the Key Theatre, and what a fantastic production it was! From the very first note, the cast brought energy, charm, and professionalism to the stage, delivering a performance that was both heartwarming and thoroughly entertaining. Despite an unexpected fire alarm—caused by the haze effect rather than anything more dramatic—the cast and crew handled the disruption with grace, and once the show resumed, they didn’t miss a beat. The young performers playing Annie and the orphans were a joy to watch, full of enthusiasm and talent, while the adult cast brought depth and humour to their roles. The set and costumes perfectly captured the era, and the music brought each iconic song to life beautifully. From the uplifting “Tomorrow” to the mischievous fun of “It’s a Hard Knock Life,” every number was performed with energy and passion. The chemistry between the cast members, particularly Annie and Daddy Warbucks, made for some truly touching moments. Adding to the experience was the wonderful setting of the Key Theatre. With its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics, it provided the perfect space to enjoy this classic musical. The venue is a real asset to the local arts scene, offering a welcoming environment for both performers and audiences alike. The friendly staff and well-organised layout made for a comfortable enjoyable evening

Dog in a Doublet

If you're craving a good plate of British food, Dog in a Doublet is the place to be. They use their own small farm for ingredients and boast an eclectic menu with items like confit duck leg and rib-eye steak. There's also a carvery on Sundays, where dogs can get their share of the action. Plus, they have their own swimming pool and plenty of outdoor seating.
I absolutely love food - but EVERY morsel of this 8 (+1) wonder had me wanting more. Service was friendly and fast (admittedly they weren't that busy) and watching the chef conjure up these dishes of delight was a pleasure. I definitely will be visiting again. A+++

Best vegetarian meal I have had in a very long time. I had the Moroccan Vegan Grill. So many wonderful flavours that mixed really well. The sides we ordered were also delicious. The chef and kitchen team are clearly really creative and that pays off in the amazing food. The staff were also lovely. It was my birthday treat and they made it very special. This is the least likely place to find this level of food and absolutely worth the trip out.

An absolutely lovely place to stay. We spent two nights here recently and it was fantastic. Our room was gorgeous. The bed was extremely comfortable and had lovely cozy pillows, which is a rarity. The owners and staff were so very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was delicious, we had a full English brekkie (amazing, I could eat the duck fried bread by the plateful) and Greek yoghurt with granola, honey, and loads of fruit. It's clear that they take great pride in serving excellent food. We also had the Sunday roast, and again, it was exceptional. Really highly recommended Dog in a Doublet, overall it was a lovely, relaxed, friendly, welcoming place to stay. With fantastic food. What more could you want!

With 186 branches across the UK, this country retreat is easily accessible for an enjoyable meal experience. The establishment has a rich history, having originated as stables in Alwalton before becoming the Wheatsheaf Inn.
I went out for lunch earlier today with a group of friends and I will say that our experiences were very good. The atmosphere was warm-welcoming, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The service was slow on the dessert front as I have ordered a baked vanilla cheesecake which I have been waiting for about half an hour and the staff were very apologetic for the delay. Despite the service, we will be coming back there again as it was a very good meal. Thank you to the staff for their hospitality and professionalism!

We visited The Cuckoo this evening as a family of five; myself, my partner, and our three children and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our server, Gift, was absolutely brilliant: friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our meal. The children’s menu was a hit they loved their chicken and steak options, which were well-portioned and tasty. My partner and I shared the Mixed Sticky Starter, which was full of flavour and a great way to begin the meal. For mains, I had the Lamb Kebab and my partner went for the Pork Belly, both dishes were beautifully cooked and presented. We finished with desserts that did not disappoint: the Sticky Toffee Pudding was rich and comforting, and the Chocolate Orange Bomb was a real showstopper, indulgent and delicious. Overall, the food was excellent, the service outstanding, and the atmosphere warm and relaxed. We’ll definitely be back!

One of the few good places to eat in Alwalton/Peterborough. Food is delicious, service is good and timely, staff is polite and helpful. It has a place for everyone I suppose, you can seat Indoor in cosy spot or in more private zone or outside, you get to choose however you wish to. In terms of food taste, it's rare to find a place where all things tastes good. Only downside would be the portion size and Tiramisu can be better. Would recommend to try for sure. 👍

Nicely situated in a scenic English town serving refined meals. We were a large group yet service never lagged. We had the 7 oz steak, bacon chop, house burger, and sea bass. The only complaint was the burgers and steak were a little over the desired temperature of medium rare. Other than that it was an enjoyable evening spent with friends. The sticky toffee pudding is a must try.
Mark B — Google review
The worst meal I’ve had in a long time. Ordered at the bar. Paid £39 upfront. Carried my own cutlery, napkin, glass of wine and glass of water back to the table. Pea soup: slimy but just about edible. Sea bass served in a watery sauce with cold prawns. Sea bass hot in places and lukewarm others due to microwaving. Cold potatoes, broccoli passable. Awful music. Took this photo and walked out.

This place lives up to its high rating! I tried to resist going to this place since, from the outside, it looks a lot like the touristy places we have in Miami. But the food blew me away, I had the Curry Goat Hash. Can you use the word sublime with a dish like that? Every component of this dish was done perfectly. Inside it has a upbeat vibe and nice eating outside too.

The Fox & Hounds is a family-friendly pub with a charming black and white-beamed Tudor facade. Visitors praise the classic and creative menu, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. The food is described as very tasty and good value, presented beautifully by attentive servers who guide guests through drink choices and accommodate special dietary needs. Guests celebrating special occasions receive warm welcomes, thoughtful touches like birthday cards and complimentary Prosecco, making their visit memorable.
Visited as a couple on a weekday lunchtime. Only intended to get a light lunch, but the menu tempted us into a full 3 course meal, which was exceptional in every way. The menu has a very good variety of choices, including vegetarian/vegan. It was so good to find somewhere that served food that was outside the box of basic pub grub. From the dishes we tasted, the kitchen staff deserve a huge well done, and he photos say it all! The table service was also fantastic; attentive but not overly so, with friendly staff. Overall, the meal we had at the Fox and Hounds was by far the best we have had in a pub restaurant in Peterborough, so much so that we booked our extended family Christmas meal here on our visit! Will most definitely be returning very soon.

Beefeater Granary

Steak house
Beefeater Granary is a popular pub-style chain known for its grilled meats and international favorites like fajitas. With a clean and cozy atmosphere, it's a great spot to enjoy delicious fish and chips, with the option for delivery in Peterborough. The staff are accommodating, handling food allergies with confidence. While the menu isn't extensive, the food quality is good, though options for vegetarians may be limited.
Was a lovely meal, food all cooked really well, very friendly waitress. The only thing that wasn't clear as a first time visit was the parking, we drove in & followed the road round & parked outside the premier inn, we weren't sure as we thought it should have its own car park, so we checked with reception & she told us we should park in the golf centre car park next door, barriers in & out, apparently you validate your parking in the beefeater, but she let us stay where we were. Would definitely visit again.

My recent visit to Beefeater Granary, Peterborough was a major disappointment, raising serious questions about whether the brand can continue to survive without urgent changes. We had planned a special family meal, but instead, we were left with an experience that felt completely subpar. While the waitress provided excellent service, the food was unacceptable. The roast dinners were cold and burnt, more resembling a low-effort fast-food meal than a proper restaurant dish. The portion sizes and presentation were equally underwhelming, failing to justify the price or the reputation Beefeater once had. To make matters worse, the toilets were dirty, reflecting the neglected state of the entire restaurant, which is in desperate need of refurbishment. The atmosphere felt tired, uninspired, and far below the standard expected of an established chain. For a restaurant meant to bring people together over a good meal, this visit failed in almost every way. If Beefeater wants to remain relevant, it must reflect on its future—improvements to cleanliness, portion sizes , and overall quality are not optional; they are essential. Based on this experience, returning would be difficult to justify. Note, if you are hungry…. Don’t have one of their premium burgers as it reminded me of a fast food happy meal! See picture (menu picture versus reality!)

Went for my brother birthday (table of 5) the food was nice. Except we did have to complain as the baconeater burger looked nothing! Like the image that was on the menu. Very misleading. I'm now looking at the other items we chose and see they also do not look like what was advertised. (See image attached) The price has gone up with all items on the menu at least £15 and up. I'd say it's not really worth it or the price tag. While they tasted okay, it wasn't mind blowing and doesn't really justify the high price tags. Probably won't be returning as there are much better priced food elsewhere.

I went to the Beefeater this week with my two children. As there was an offer on this summer I was asked to sign up to the company. I then waited ages for the email to offer me the discount but it didn't come. When I asked the lady at the tills he then had to ask her manageress said it takes 4 days to come through!! I asked why he didn't just say this in the first place as other restaurants are automatic. The food came out abd my daughters steak was completely charcoaled that she couldn't bite through it! My chicken melt wrap was cold and tasted like the chicken hadn't even been cooked properly. My daughter did get a replacement meal but I definitely wouldn't come back again. Based on poor quality of food and fakse advertising of a summer offer that doesn't even apply!

Had a fantastic experience at Middleton’s Peterborough. Three of us dined - one ribeye, one cheeseburger, and one rump. The ribeye was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavour. My son (10) couldn’t stop raving about his cheeseburger, said it was “awesome.” The fries were spot-on, crisp and golden. The staff were a real highlight, friendly, engaged, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their work. They were informative too, adding a nice touch to the whole experience. The mocktails were a hit, refreshing and well-presented. Overall, a great spot for a solid meal with a welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!

Service was fairly good and friendly although occasionally there were no staff nearby when required and the restaurant was surprisingly very quiet (730pm on a Saturday). The food generally tasted good but there were issues. Portion size for the Macaroni Cheese was very small, it was an option as both a starter and main, but apparently what we were given was a Main (as requested) , which I felt was very small, see photo below. When it arrived it was almost cold and this is the first time I've ever sent food back. It was promptly replaced and was hot. The Steak was decent as were the sides. However the dessert of Chocolate Fondant was a disappointment..it had no liquid centre and was solid like a cake (see photo). I would have asked for this to be changed too but there were no staff nearby. With a few tweaks the experience could have been alot better but as it stands we probably wouldn't return.

We recently visited *Steak House Peterborough* during our stay and were very impressed by the exceptional friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The service was attentive and welcoming, making us feel comfortable throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the dining experience did not quite meet our expectations. While the food was well-prepared, the portion sizes were much smaller than anticipated, especially considering the price. I ordered the grilled sea bass with potatoes and steamed broccoli, but the portion of potatoes was so small it barely covered the bottom of the dish. My boyfriend ordered the mixed grill, which consisted of a very small piece of gammon, a modest rib-eye steak, and a small portion of lamb. Despite the quality, the portions left us still hungry. Given the limited portion sizes, we found ourselves needing to order takeaway afterward, as the meal simply wasn’t enough to satisfy. For a steakhouse, we expected more substantial portions that offered better value for the cost. We've included photos to illustrate our experience. In conclusion, while the staff and service at *Steak House Peterborough* were excellent, the portion sizes and value left us disappointed.

"Good atmosphere and comfortable seating. The food was very good, a little over priced maybe but good portions and tasty. Service was below standard, disappointing because the restaurant deserves better. Under staffing didn’t help our waiter was running at times. We were hurried to choose our food and the waiter was trying to multitask while taking the order."

We were a large group and they were happy to accommodate us on short notice. The food was delicious, steak cooked to perfection. Our waitress was lovely and we had a good laugh with her. Great atmosphere and although it was a Tues evening it was quite busy, but not noisy. Would've been nice to see a surf and turf on the menu with lobster though! Pudding was nice, but would've liked the creme brulee warm.

The Black Horse

$$$$affordable
Pub
Restaurant
Nestled in the charming village of Elton, The Black Horse has evolved into a beloved destination for both locals and visitors alike. Originally a project aimed at uplifting young Cuban female musicians, it now stands as a vibrant hub on the North American jazz scene. This establishment not only offers an impressive beer garden that many describe as "vast" and "amazing," but also hosts delightful events like their sought-after bottomless brunch.
Very nice food – it looks as good as it tastes! The flavors were spot on, and the presentation made it even more enjoyable. Great customer service as well – friendly and attentive staff. If you’re looking for a good place to eat and have a nice conversation while enjoying some eye-appealing food, I would definitely recommend this place.

Booked in for mother's day and it did not disappoint. Had a beautiful Sunday roast everything was cooked to perfection. We also managed to squeeze in a pudding to share after which again was delicious. We would most definitely come again. We were staying in the area but we live around an hour away and would even travel just to have the beautiful food again!

Disappointed, 2nd time eating here, difference since last time is night and day. Lunch time, my wife ordered a fish finger sandwich, and I appreciate cheese & pickle sandwich, both came with a cup of soup and potato crisps. It came, sandwiches uncut (the picture is after I cut it) soup was indeed a cup, and the crisps.... amounted to 4 of, well 3.5 lol. I complained that £13 and £12 respectively that I would be excpeting at least a handful of 'potatoe crisps), kitchen apparently said they are all portioned out and so won't be giving me anymore that the 4 that I had. The bread was pretty poor tbf also. We were offered a free round of drinks.... which im sure would cost the same as just giving us a decent amount of 'potatoe crisps'. Very disappointed indeed. Edit. Just for comparison, ive added a picture or a random place serving a similar dish. Night and day..

Attended on a Sunday at about 1.30pm. It was relatively busy so much so that we couldn't get the Sunday Roast because we hadn't booked it in advance. It's best to view the menu online before planning your visit if you intend to dine there on a Sunday and to also phone ahead of time if you want the Sunday Roast! 😕

Honestly, the service here is brillant, the food is tasty and it’s a clean place. The gentleman, James I think his name was, is a great laugh. Make sure you book in advance.

Could not fault the food at all. Service was a little slow after we'd initially been seated but staff were welcoming & friendly. We were advised near the end of our booking that they needed the table for the next booking but this could have been avoided if we hadn't been waiting quite a while after we'd been seated.

This venue is well worth visiting. Friendly and efficient staff(Josh,Jake& Stuart), delicious food and welcoming ambiance made my visit memorable. There was a lot of seating available inside and outside. It was spotlessly clean as well.

Family restaurant
Harvester Alwalton in Peterborough is a family-friendly chain eatery that specializes in grilled meat, salads, pasta, and seafood. The owners of this restaurant claim that they can update their profile information, add pictures, respond to reviews, and more. Recently, one customer had a wonderful dining experience at Harvester Alwalton while celebrating their daughter-in-law's birthday. They praised the excellent and friendly service provided by their waiter named Will.
A great restaurant with excellent service and tasty food. The buffet bar salad was fresh and topped up regularly and all options available. Waiting staff were polite and very familiar with menu questions we had. Food was prepared swiftly and was delicious. We had chargrilled chicken and buckwheat super salad bowls. Followed by Sunday best desert. The restaurant could do with a revamp as quite tired now but still a great choice. Will be back.
Julie G — Google review
Went here due to it being close to the hotel I’m staying in. Service was very unenthusiastic and to be honest a little rude. Asking questions and just no answer from the lad at the bar. Food was nice though although starter was served with no cutlery… when the main came still none so I asked and you had to get it yourself. Would have been nice to be informed about this but with no conversation possible at the bar when ordering I guess that was a long shot at best. It was ok but I wouldn’t likely go back to harvester based on this as I like good service and I can find it in most other places.

It was busy but still very cosy and calm and the service was great. We could see the waiting staff were rushed but they were all so happy and positive and friendly. Standard harvester food cooked well and nice and hot. My son made a kebab out of his chicken burger 🤷‍♂️😁
Paul B — Google review
This place is hit and miss. On this occasion the bacon wasn’t very well cooked on my chicken burger and the ice cream for me was too excessive on my desert compared to when I visited a week before. It ruined my what was warm to begin with Belgium waffle. However, that might be some people’s preference. I won’t be visiting again anytime soon. The waitresses provided great service though. Free salad bar is also a good incentive.

I won 4 free meals as a result of a competition. The food was delicious, i had mixed grill, our server was Cherelle who was really friendly with a lovely personality. She really made me feel at ease as i'm a very anxious person when i go out so it definitely helps when you have polite,friendly staff like her. :) we are likely to come back oneday after having such a great experience. Thankyou Harvester and thank you Cherelle ❤

Good place to dine. The wife and I went on a date, at 6:30 was pretty full so I glad i’ve booked it in advance. The food was really good and fairly quick was brought in, about 30 min. Friendly staff. Btw, if you order the ultimate mix combo must ensure you are hungry; or you can share it, is huge.

Good food, exactly as expected given the price point. Salad bar was fresh and well stocked, the restaurant was clean and so were the toilets. Very accommodating of us bringing a small baby with us and gave us a table with loads of room for the pram. Excellent service from Mickey as well - thank you!

We went late afternoon on a Saturday and there was only a few other tables in so can't fault how attentive the staff were. They were really friendly and came over to check on us multiple times. They have lots of vegan options I opted for the vegan chicken flat bread which was really tasty and filling was like than £10 so definitely good value as came with chips too. Also managed to squeeze desert in the apple pie massive portion but lacking flavour. Would definitely come back again.

Great experience today the food came out so quickly and was so yummy. Jo is a superstar and you are lucky to have such a friendly member of staff on the team. If we didn't live in Norwich we would be back every week 😂 little issue with the bill a few extra items had appeared but that was soon sorted out.

Rachael H — Google review
We waited some time to be seated before anyone noted our presence in the restaurant. After that the service was fine, the restaurant was very quiet, just a few other tables occupied. I enjoyed the choice of flavoured drinks and the food was ok. I was asked if I wanted sweet potato fries rather than chips but not told they cost more. We both had the chicken stack. The breast of chicken was a little too well cooked so a bit dry but the rest was better. We enjoyed the salad bar, it was fresh and well stocked as were the bowl of rolls, sauces and toppings. We had 20% off food, very useful as the price of meals had gone up a lot since our last visit, over a year ago.

Nearby airports

London Stansted Airport

International airport
Airport
London Stansted Airport is a hub for low-cost European flights and offers convenient access to the M11 express train. While it may be crowded during peak season, the airport provides clear instructions and directions for passengers. The seating options are limited, but there are shops, currency exchange services, and water stations available after passport control. Staff members are generally friendly and helpful, making arrivals a pleasant experience. However, long layovers may be challenging due to the condition of some departure gate seats.
Today was a good day…all smooth and fast. Though it was fairly early for the 6:45 flight, from stepping in all was great. No queuing or waiting time at all. Flying to Germany and the plane is kinda ready to take off at 6:20am. Positive experience.
Csorba D — Google review
I flew from London Stansted Airport and overall had a great experience. The airport is very organized, clean, and easy to navigate. Security control was super quick – even with the crowds, I passed through in under 10 minutes! There are lots of shops, restaurants, and places to grab snacks or souvenirs, which made waiting much more enjoyable. However, it can get very crowded, especially around check-in and boarding time. My flight was delayed, which is why I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5, and I also noticed that some gates are very far away – it took me almost 10 minutes to walk to mine! So make sure to check your gate early and be ready to move quickly. Overall, a very good airport for both short and long flights, just a bit busy – but well managed!
Vanja — Google review
I was really impressed with London Stansted Airport on my recent trip. Everything ran super smoothly from start to finish — check-in was quick, security moved fast, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. The airport itself is bright, clean, and easy to find your way around, which makes a huge difference when you’re traveling. There’s a good mix of shops and restaurants too — plenty of options to grab a coffee or something to eat while waiting for your flight. Getting to and from the airport was straightforward as well, with clear signs and good transport links. Overall, it was a really stress-free experience and definitely one of the better airports I’ve flown through. I wouldn’t hesitate to fly from Stansted again!
Jack F — Google review
The cheapest way to get to Stansted is to take the national express coach. The Stansted express train is quite expensive compared to the couch service. Stansted airport is pretty much the Homebase of Ryanair. The airport is pretty basic. There aren’t many seats for passengers to relax. I would recommend the Wetherspoon there. It is not expensive. There is not much children facilities, no soft play or any area for young children. However there is a Hemleys toy shop. Some gates will need shuttle train, kids love that. The security check service is good. Passengers don’t need to take out the electronic devices and liquids out. There are some water fountains after security checks. Bring your own bottle and save few pounds on bottled water.

A very busy airport Monday noon. 20 mins to get through security. Although they do have the scanners. Lots of bars, shops, restaurants and cafes. Even a spoons!! Lots of parking Easy to navigate
Russell H — Google review
Fast, smooth and reasonably nice. We quickly moved through security(saving time by not needing baggage drop off as we bought an overhead bag) and through to the shops. A wide range of provisions. Lots of seats and lots of people. I traveled on a thursday and although at first there was limited seats, spaces quickly appeared as people left for their gates. Our flight was delayed so we spent a lot of time here. It was made easier by the comfortable seats, free WiFi and USB charging ports so I plugged in and watched some plane crash documentaries. I had Burger King but there’s many other option too. There are limited toilets that are poorly signposted. There is one just off the main area with all the seats(water fountain there too). It was also incredibly hot with poor ventilation, especially outside the gates. Nice airport seemingly focusing on budget airlines. Edit: Just as quick on the return. The E-gates allowed us to get through in two minutes.

I recently travelled from Stansted Airport and had a smooth experience from start to finish. I took the Stansted Express train from Tottenham Hale Station, which was fast, comfortable, and arrived right at the airport — very convenient! The check-in process was quick and well-organised, with clear signs everywhere to guide passengers. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially at security, where everything moved efficiently. There are plenty of shops, cafés, and seating areas, making the wait before the flight pleasant. Overall, a great airport for easy and stress-free travel! ✈️

Last time they had a coffee machine fire, but caused such a mess with following the incorrect protocol, that 3000 people delayed or canceled their plans! Had to sleep in the car like a dog as no one toqld is Ryanair will fly us on the next day..... Wrote email to both companies, £200 and a day later I've made it to Rhodes, holiday ruined, no compensation, plans destroyed and yet they still closing the Airport overnight and people sleeping rough everywhere, purely because they don't want to pay night shifts rates and got cartels negotiation with the flying operators. Avoid on any price, as on the End you will pay more than flying Business class with Emirates, but receive dogs treatment from the stuff and wording like "You should of pay for a hotel Sir" Absolute Clowns 🤡

London Luton Airport

Airport
International airport
London Luton Airport is a hilltop airport that primarily serves domestic and European destinations, particularly by low-cost airlines. It offers plentiful transfer options such as bus and rail services. While public transportation is easily accessible, traveling by car may be the best option to reach most attractions. The terminal is spacious and clean with ample facilities including restrooms, water filling stations, restaurants, cafes, duty-free shops, clear directional signs, and a variety of amenities for travelers' convenience.
Departing from Luton Airport was a smooth and efficient experience that made traveling stress-free. The airport was easy to reach, and once inside, I found it well-organized with clear signage that made check-in and security straightforward. The staff were helpful and kept everything moving quickly, which I really appreciated. I also enjoyed the variety of shops and cafés, which made waiting for my flight more comfortable. The atmosphere was lively yet well-managed, and the facilities were clean and modern. Luton Airport provided a seamless departure experience and left me with a very positive impression.
Mohsin R — Google review
I had a few flights here along the time so I will share my key take-aways: - if you have a connection, speak to the staff, they will guide you to cut the queues. - mornings are extremely busy, do take into account their recommendation to arrive 2.5 - 3 hours earlier (if you also want to check out their shops and do some shopping). - if it is a straightforward go to the gate, the standard 2 hours will suffice. - you might not get seats in the crowded mornings. At 11 am was decent, but at 6 was full. - the bathrooms are mostly clean, but again, get ready to queue when the flight schedule is busy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Brilliant Experience at Luton Airport! I recently passed through Luton Airport for the first time in over a decade, and what an amazing transformation! The upgrades made in recent years have completely paid off — creating a travel experience that, in my opinion, now outshines other outer London airports. The journey from St Pancras was quick and easy, with the Luton DART transfer being an absolute game-changer — efficient, modern, and seamless. Check-in and security were smooth and well organised, and the internal layout of the airport is clear, well signed, and pleasantly uncluttered. I was also impressed by the range of food and shopping options, and the staff were fantastic — friendly, helpful, and professional throughout. It made my recent weekend trip completely stress-free and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Congratulations to everyone involved in the redesign and to all the staff who make the airport run so smoothly. A truly brilliant job, Luton Airport!

I recently flew from Luton Airport to Amsterdam and had a really good experience overall. The staff were very courteous and helpful throughout the process, from check-in to security. The airport itself was clean, organised, and easy to navigate, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. There are also some nice coffee shops where you can relax before your flight, a pleasant surprise compared to many other busy airports. Overall, a solid 4-star experience, efficient, friendly, and comfortable!

The airport itself is fine for the most part — check-in and security were reasonably smooth, and staff were polite. However, during this recent heat wave the air conditioning was almost nonexistent. It was uncomfortably hot in the terminal, making the wait for boarding unpleasant. A bit more attention to climate control would make a big difference for passenger comfort.
Mohamed F — Google review
Good food options and clean toilets. A bit crammed and long walk outside from terminal to the car park and drop off/pick up. They even have shops outside. It’s really not nice when you have to walk in the freezing cold. They need to build an extension and cover the walkway to carpark.
Oana G — Google review
The access between Luton Airport and the center of London is not the most convenient, yet once you are at the airport, you find it very convenient and efficient. I got there very early in the morning. The place was fully crowded, but the check-in and security went very quickly. Inside, there is a large number of the usual duty-free stores, as well as a variety of restaurants and coffee shops. I spent more than two hours there—it was bearable…..
Gaby — Google review
Luton is by far my most hated airport. It feels so far away, and the transport links are poor, which already makes the journey stressful before you even arrive. Once you get there, the building itself feels like a giant tin shed, always crammed with people and unbearably hot. The queues are endless, no matter the time of day, and with so many people squeezed into such a small space, you constantly find yourself being bumped into. Yes, there are places to eat and shop, but they don’t make up for the sheer chaos of the experience. The overcrowding, the heat, and the long waits make everything feel overwhelming. Overall, it’s a stressful, uncomfortable airport that I try to avoid at all costs.
