I had a one night stay in Mansfield while in town for a funeral, and the Crossroads is literally the only B&B in the immediate vicinity. It was a very pleasant stay and a much more enjoyable option than any of the typical chain hotels in Mansfield. If I ever need to stay in Mansfield again, I would absolutely revisit the Crossroads.
I was in the South Room, which seemed a bit larger and brighter. The room was nicely decorated and, more importantly, very comfortable. The only downside is its location at the front of the house, overlooking Main St., which is a four-lane road that remained fairly busy even at night. Not constant traffic, but frequent. I didn't find this particularly bothersome, as I had the window AC unit running, which itself is fairly loud and blocked out most of the traffic. So, if you're sensitive to noise, it might be a problem, but it certainly wouldn't keep me from revisiting. The East Room is at the rear of the house and is probably quieter. While it also overlooks a road, it is a two-lane, residential street that seems to get less traffic.
The innkeepers, Cindy and Rob, were extremely hospitable and flexible. They allowed me to check in four hours early so I could change for the funeral, which I greatly appreciated. Cindy's breakfast the next morning was excellent - three enormous, hot, blueberry pancakes surrounded by sausages and freshly sliced banana, served with warmed, fresh, maple syrup. It was extremely satisfying and exactly what I needed before hitting the road. read more
