The former Portland Hotel, located in Carr Bank Park, was bravely taken on by business partners Paul Andrews and Diane Doran 18 months ago with a dream to transform it into a ‘centrepiece for the town’.
Rebranded as Mansfield Manor and with the help of £200,000 in investment, the pair have transformed the hotel and said they are holding the Christmas market as a way of putting something back into the town.
Paul said: “The Mansfield community has truly welcomed us with open arms.
