Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Mansfield Castle Hotel allows you to experience staying in a castle, complete with character and charm, where guests appreciate the spacious rooms. Breakfast is a treat, served in a beautiful dining room with a wide selection, and the hotel offers a nice wine and whiskey selection. The hotel's grounds are pretty and provide parking, with the village, cafes, bakeries and restaurants only a 10-minute walk away; though some guests have noted that the rooms can be a little cold. It's even rumored to be haunted!

Wonderful Castle Stay

tartan carpet castle atmosphere
The building has a very authentic castle atmosphere. I particularly loved the tartan carpet in the lobby and main stairs, it was so nice. The staff transfered us to their sister hotel for evening meals. This was a very nice touch. I enjoyed staying at this hotel.
The building was excellent but it needs some work. some noise in the corridors was heard.

the staff were lovely and very friendly . i had an executive room that was super spacious with a comfy bed. the bathroom included a jacuzzi bath, a shower, and also a double sink, i thought that was so cool.
the restaurant wasn't available, so i had to go to a sister hotel instead. this seems to be an ongoing issue. the service at the sister hotel in the evening was not great. my salad also wasn't very fresh, that was a bit disappointing.

Adequate Stay at the Hotel

spacious room comfortable bed hotel transfer single towel slippery shower missing handrail
The room was spacious, I think. It had a comfortable bed. The staff arranged for transfers to a sister hotel for meals. THIS was a nice touch.
Only ONE bath towel was in the double room. The shower was quite slippery. There were no hand grabs for elderly people.
