The rooms are very pleasant. The staff first class. The food is good. The downside is the poorly stocked bar - there are no Scottish beers on draught neither is there any Scottish bottled beer in spite of the excellent Black Isle brewery being around 30 miles away.

We enjoyed our stay, There had just been a change in management, but the staff seemed to be coping very well with the inevitable changes in routine. more

Pleasant accommodation in a traditional style, but its real strength is its people. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They cooked us breakfast out of hours when we arrived. Every staff member was exceptionally helpful and friendly and throughout our stay we felt completely at ease. The team manages to create an informal and unpretentious atmosphere. more

My wife and I were about to attend an evening wedding reception having travelled some 4 hours from Aberdeen and were VERY badly let down by the Manager of the Royal Hotel on our arrival in Tain. Whilst seeking alternative accommodation we chanced upon this delightful hotel with equally delightful staff and surroundings. The facilities were excellent - the "Bar... more

We had a couple of nights up in the Highlands and decided to stay at the Mansefield Castle Hotel for a night. The entrance is impressive. Very traditional building, full of character. The staff were very good, friendly, helpful and attentive. They all seemed to be local, which does add something to the experience and is quite rare most places... more
