Pros:

Near enough to town but enough distance to be quiet. Plenty of parking. Retail park with KFC, McDonald's etc nearby. Staff friendly and accommodating. Room warm and clean. We had an accessible room with wet room etc , good size with comfy bed and facilities.Good breakfast included with plenty of choice.

Cons:

Room had a locked adjoining door to next room so a little bit noisy when 'neighbours' got in late. Could do with a toilet brush in loo. Bar a bit expensive, Harvester style pub in easy walking distance with cheaper bar.

Pros:

Staff were very welcoming & friendly.
The breakfast was fab!!
We liked the location as it was very peaceful and great for our visits to the Wildlife Park! Which was Amazing. And not far from the hotel. And our other visit was to Doncaster Rovers stadium to watch a game! We decided to get a cab & it was only 15-20 mins in the cab! And the cab took debit cards! And the hotel called the cab for us! We enjoyed the game too! Doncaster Rovers won 2-1 against Blackpool!

Cons:

Nothing. We loved & enjoyed our stay!
And we drove all the way from South-East London. But for all those hours driving it was well worth it! We will be returning in the summer months! The Wildlife Park is a definite place to visit!

An ejouable somewhat spoiled by having to deal with the noise
Pros:

Well positioned.

Cons:

The double glazing i Room 224 needs to be examined and maybe improved. The window allowed a small amount of air in and the glazing did not perform well enough to block out noise from the adjacent quite busy road. I was kept awake until zI found earplugs (Wet toilet paper)

Great staff great food 2 of us slept well and the other 2 dint sleep much as the sofa bed was so painful to sleep on
Pros:

Staff was brilliant, complimentary hot drinks and breakfast was a lovely touch and a wide variety. Room was clean and tidy and beds made up before we arrived. The double bed was comfy and plenty of pillows.

Cons:

The sofa bed. The mattress was so thin you could feel the metal frame underneath. Phoned down to reception staff was friendly and tried to help but all they could do was offer an apology and an extra quilt which didn’t really help
