Struggling to find somewhere to accommodate my dog on a visit to Doncaster and found this lovely little Gem, On arrival the host was welcoming and accomadating for my dog. Also in a superb location. Very good place will definitely be booking again.
2 absolute whoppers below commenting on a place they have never stayed in based on a tv show from about a decade ago. One needs to give his own head a wobble.
Great woman Tracey down to earth professional. Cannot do enough for you. Breakfast wow. Best around I've had hotel breakfasts. And woofs a great character. Deffo worth the cash and the stay
We planned on staying in a king room but upon arrival, we was greeted and told we had been upgraded for free to a superior king. Tracy was absolutely lovely and her amazing cat and dog gave us great company. Amazing place would definitely love to stay here again! (Also vegan catering was great)
Very friendly host and dog. I have a great room my only nag would be the shower water pressure is very low and I love a good shower. Would stay again though and would recommend.
Tracey gave us a wonderful welcome and an amazing stay. Nothing was too much trouble for her. All of the rooms , lounge, breakfast room all tastefully and beautifully decorated by herself I found out. What an amazing woman. Such a credit to her for all her hard work. Enjoyed sharing our room with one of her cats Misty . Home from home. Highly recommended. Thanks so very much Tracey.
I had such a lovely time here! The place was incredibly cozy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The owner was truly amazing—so friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. And I can’t forget her adorable dog, Wof, who added an extra dose of charm to the whole experience. Definitely a memorable visit!
Excellent host . Couldn't have done more to help us enjoy our stay
