Guests consistently praise the spacious rooms within the Mansion House, often noting the great facilities, complimentary toiletries, and selection of teas and coffee. The hotel's location within the wildlife park is a highlight, providing convenient access to all the park's restaurants and offering a complimentary buggy for exploring the superb grounds; plus free entry to Howletts wildlife park.
