Not what was expected…..
Pros:

The room was dated but large
The owner was a delight, larger than life character….

Cons:

Arrived at Mansfield castle and asked why we couldn’t eat there as advertised.
This operation is not being clear about how it operates…..it wasn’t what I expected
Moved to Marangie House hotel…..twin hotel?
Staffing issues were plain to see
Food was expensive and not up to standard…even for pub grub.
It turned out most guests had walked into town and eaten takeout

Poor
Pros:

Exterior of the building
Young woman on reception was pleasant & helpful & offered us a room closer to to the entrance as we had several bags.

Cons:

The restaurant and bar were closed, there was no mention of this at the time of booking and no reduction in cost.
Hotel interior is tired and run down.
Minimal staff available.
We were offered an alternative hotel but only after we had complained and unpacked our luggage!

Skip it!
Pros:

The initial photo of the facility. The exterior makes it inviting. The Morning staff were very pleasant.

Cons:

The interior is run down. Arrival was cold and uncomfortable was advised to go to their sister hotel for drinks, dinner or a warm breakfast. We drove over for dinner but was not what one would expect especially when they have a bar but don’t know how to make drinks or prices so drank a beer and left to go find other arrangements. The room was very uncomfortable and bed was nothing but springs making for the worst night sleep and terrible pains. Even had to request towels. I definitely do not recommend this place for overnight stays.

Wunderbare Übernachtung als Einstieg in die North Coast 500
Pros:

Sehr schöne Liegenschaft, genügend Parkplätze, toller Eingang und das Zimmer war gross genug, die Betten sehr bequem. Das Frühstück ist in einem sehr schönen Saal mit viel Flair. Das Personal hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und der Hauskater Lucky hat unseren Aufenthalt wunderbar abgerundet.

Cons:

Wir hätten gerne im Castle zu Abend gegessen, die Küche hatte leider geschlossen, aber im anderen Hotel war es auch sehr schön.

Charmantes Hotel zum Verweilen
Pros:

Historisches Gebäude mit bewegter Geschichte, hat sich noch einen gewissen Charme erhalten. Das Haus ist ordentlich geführt, das Personal war freundlich, das kontinentale Frühstück reichhaltig. Diner gab es bei uns ausnahmsweise im Partnerhotel in der Stadt ca. 15 Gehminuten entfernt in ordentlicher Qualität und mit 10% Rabatt auf alles.

Cons:

Keine Beschwerden.
