During your stay, you could visit Brodsworth Hall & Gardens (within 7 miles of our Doncaster Hotel); this fine country house has been preserved with the patina of wear, showing how a wealthy family and their servants really lived during 150 years occupation. A rare survival from the Victorian Age, the 15 acres of gardens have been restored to their 1860s heyday.

Conisbrough Castle (within 6 miles of our Doncaster Hotel) was once the principal northern stronghold in 1994, following five centuries of neglect, two new floors and a roof were placed into the Castle Keep and, today, it is considered to be one of the finest examples of medieval architecture in Europe.

Cusworth Hall/Museum (within 4 miles of our Doncaster Hotel) is a fine 18th Century country house housing the Museum of South Yorkshire Life and standing in extensive parklands.
