On the departure of the Duke the building became in 1831, and still remains, a hotel. John Welch is reported as having worked on the conversions.
An advertisment of 1841 (Quiggin's Guide) gives the following:
TERMS AT HERON'S CASTLE MONA HOTEL.
The building has lost much of its imposing position - the widening of the promenade (and the later construction of a row of shops) and more importantly the selling off of its land for building purposes means that the current building appears very hemmed in.
