Roadside location a short drive from Doncaster
This hotel’s location reportedly best suited motorists as it was positioned beside the A1(M) about six miles north of Doncaster. There were bonuses like free parking and a petrol station on-site as well as two eateries serving fast food and family favourites. Those breaking up longer journeys often found the location convenient. Doncaster town centre was easily reached by car or bus for shops, dining, nightlife and the railway station. Drivers reported that it made a good base for exploring the surrounding Yorkshire countryside to discover scenic castles, beauty spots and stately homes.
