4-star hotels in Doncaster
This shortlist brings together Doncaster's 4-star stays, from town-centre hotels to country houses and self-catering apartments. It is for couples after a quiet base, families needing space, and business travellers who want a 4-star room without staying in the middle of town.
Staying in Doncaster
Doncaster is a South Yorkshire town with a long racing and coaching history, and its 4-star stays are spread rather than clustered in one quarter. The Earl of Doncaster Hotel sits on Bennetthorpe, 0.5 km from the centre, and Diamond St Helen's House is 0.4 km out, so those two are the town-centre options. Several others sit just outside: Large Balcony Apartment on Boswell Road is 2.3 km away, Diamond Church View Apartment 1 on Thorne Road is 1.1 km, and Harris House on Harris Road is 3.3 km.
Further out you find the country-house and village addresses. Best Western Premier Doncaster Mount Pleasant Hotel and Rossington Hall both stand on Great North Road, 7.3 km and 7.9 km from the centre, with Hooton Pagnell Hall, The Crown Hotel Bawtry Doncaster, Home Farm & Lodge and The Olive filling the 6.7 km to 11.6 km band. Three addresses lie well beyond that: Kings Chamber Doncaster by Marston's Inns on Selby Road at 14.1 km, Stanholme Guest House on Low Street at 18.7 km and Holiday Home Epworth at 18.5 km. Couples gravitate to the country houses, families to the apartments with kitchens and family rooms, and business travellers to the centre or the business-centre facilities on Great North Road.
