Waterton Park Hotel, Wakefield

The Waterton Park Hotel, Wakefield The Waterton Park is a Best Western Hotel situated deep in Yorkshire and only 4 miles from the M1 motorway. However, when my husband and I went for a mid-week one night break recently we were surprised at how remote the location really felt.
