Toby Carvery Doncaster by Innkeepers Collection

The staff were friendly and helpful, and there was plenty of parking. It’s a ten-minute drive from the racecourse. Our room was comfortable and warm, with clean towels, though the twin beds were a little narrow. Breakfast was okay if you wanted a cooked meal, but there wasn’t another choice. They only offered juice on the second morning.

The all-you-can-eat breakfast was the worst I’ve had. The shower room was covered in mould, and the rooms were small. The window was behind the bed, so there wasn’t a view. I asked reception for extra pillows, but they never arrived.

The staff were great and did their best, even though the kitchen had to close in the morning because of a separate problem and there was no cooked breakfast. The night before, our rooms also had no water. Neither issue was the staff’s fault. When everything is working, this is a good, inexpensive place to stay and eat. It’s well placed for Doncaster and the surrounding area.

Pleasant staff and a nice place, but I was freezing in the room. There was an electric wall heater and an oil heater in the wardrobe, and even with both on, cold air was coming through the window seal, about a gale at -3°C. If you stay here, take a couple of thick sleeping bags.
