“Drayton Manor Hotel places families at the heart of the action, especially for those devoted to Thomas the Tank Engine; expect themed rooms and direct access to the park. I was particularly impressed by the staff's commitment to accommodating families, even arriving late with booking mishaps. This hotel is a solid choice for making the most of Drayton Manor.”

reasonable pricesefficient check-instress-free processtiny shower head
my stay included a visit to the bar. it was pleasing it was reasonably priced. i did expect higher prices but a pint was the same price as our local pub. check-in was quick! efficient check-in made the process stress-free and enjoyable.
The tiny shower head was a bit of a problem. it took a long time to wash my little one's hair. i wish it had better water pressure and a larger spray area. This is my only regret.
