Mansfield Castle Hotel
Mansfield Castle Hotel, a splendid example of a Scottish country house, is just five minutes from the center of the historic Pictish town of Tain, dating back to 1066. Built in the 1880s by a tea plantation family, the hotel sits amidst three acres of gardens yet remains close to local amenities. The castle offers superior rooms in the main building and standard rooms in the connected garden wing. Guests can also choose the popular Tower Suite, known for its rumored ghost, Mrs. Fowler, and breathtaking views. The standard rooms provide ample space and amenities such as power showers and trouser presses. The hotel features a full bar, restaurant, and an excellent wine list.
