Very nice hotel, spacious room and bathroom.
The hoist track went from the bed directly into the bathroom, with 'points' in the track to take you over the toilet or the bath. We had a problem with the track running too close to the bathroom door but the staff seemed keen to put this right. I think we may have been the first guests to actually use the hoist so they were glad to have our feedback.
The double bed is against the wall which does give more floor space but may cause a problem for your partner climbing into bed. I daresay it could be moved.
Good breakfasts in the modern Z cafe.
Fantastic central location and good pies in the local pubs!

Brilliant! Luxurious break.
I`ve stayed here twice September 2016 and 2017. The first time was before the hoist went over the toilet. Its all sorted now. Myself, I didn't have a issue with the door as the other review states, but it was very near.
Apart from the Crown Plaza this is the only hotel with a ceiling hoist that made me feel normal, normal in a great way. Getting the same or very similar experience to everyone else!
Very spacious and looks really nice.
I just wish there were more like this.

CHuC would like to congratulate Premier Inn for this amazing achievement. Should it be in the Guinness Book of Records? Is there any mainstream hotel anywhere in the world with as many accessible rooms with ceiling hoists? Well done Premier Inn!

I am a manager of a care home for younger adults with physical disabilities in Somerset. I am so grateful to this hotel for supplying so many overhead hoists in their rooms it made a trip to London for my clients so much easier and more comfortable for my staff. Congratulations to Premier Inn they deserve commending for the effort made that makes access for people with disabilities in their hotel.

Plenty of room for transfer with the hoist from wheelchair to the bed, the mattress was really comfortable. No automatic doors once your inside so does require some manoeuvring to get through the internal doors. Food was fantastic and overall service excellent, would stay again 100%

Fantastic!!!! Well done premier inn please please try and upgrade all your hotels to have some rooms with celling hoists.
I stayed in the room with the hoist over bath. So well thought out. Great to be able to have a bath. At home I self hoist so the one little think was I need to be pushed by carer a it is only electronic up and down.
Have a great stay we did.
They have bed blocks too raise bed if you ask.

A note from CHuC - some guests may find that the track across the bed is too far towards the bottom. This is something we are well aware of and we are trying to get it rectified
