Originally called the Parish Church of St George and now officially reclassified as a Minster, Doncaster Minster has the outward appearance of a Cathedral and dominates the centre of Doncaster town.
This is a landmark that I have been familiar with all of my life but I was actually surprised to learn that this current church dates only from 1854. It does however stand on a spot that has been occupied by a church since the 7th century and it is known that a church dedicated to St George has stood here since at least 1061.

The Earl of Doncaster hotel was built in the 1920's and retains alot of the character from this period. They cater for weddings, christenings etc with a range of function rooms varying in size depending on your party. The restaurant is light, bright and airy and still retains the 20's charm.
Rooms
Generally good sizes with usual facilities. Nothing out of the ordinary with regards bathrooms, extras ect. Average price around £67 per room b&b.
Bar
Good selection of spirits, wines - reasonable prices for a hotel.
Restaurant
Has got better over the past few years. Menu has been better designed and food appears to be back to the quality it was 5-6 years ago. Special nights are organised and the Valantine's one is particually good. Pianist is good when he's playing.

home to some lovely history collections, illustrating how people lived, worked and entertained themselves over the last two hundred years.
