Spent two nights at Mansfield and had a wonderful time! The front cottage is modern, decorated well, and has comfy beds. Staff are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Scenery is stunning, and animals are plentiful! Unfortunately we didn’t see any giraffe, but tons of Zebra, Gnu’s, and buck.
