The Mansfield Castle Hotel in Tain offers an exceptional quality of accommodation at reasonable prices.  Walking in the door it really feels like a Scottish Castle - like we're honoured guests.  No wonder guests at Madonna's Skibo Castle wedding chose the Mansfield Castle as their hotel. We approach the hotel through a stone portal and up a long drive and park right outside the front door.  Inside we find a luxurious hallway which doubles as reception, a comfortable bar and two attractive dining rooms. Our feature photo shows the hotel from the front of the grounds, and the video slide show attempts to convey the warm, peaceful comfort of the main reception rooms. The hotel's site tells us: "Most of the 19 sumptuous bedrooms have stunning views over the Castle grounds, the Moray Firth to the south east and the Dornoch Firth to the north east. Each spacious room has its own distinctive character with a complimentary decanter of sherry and the famous Mansfield fluffy dog, which as well as providing a rather nice touch of humour also, when is placed outside your door, acts a Do Not Disturb signal for us. All rooms are en suite, some with Jacuzzis and each room has tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryers and television. The Tower Suite is perfect for the family, with two bedrooms, a spacious bathroom and an extremely comfortable tower lounge with breathtaking views from every room. If you are feeling a little adventurous, follow the original spiral staircase to the very top of the tower where there is virtually a 360 degree view."
