“This is the second visit to Stone Cross and it won’t be the last.”

Last year we stayed in Rowley. This year Alice. There are no negatives comments at all. The whole feeling about Stone Cross just feels right. We would highly recommend anyone visiting the area to pick Stone Cross. Thank you Mike for another great week Eric, Tracy & Seeley (the pooch)

“A lovely place to stay in a great location - quiet but very close (5 minutes walk) to the town & all its amenities.”

The mansion is fabulous and the apartments are all fitted-out and maintained to a very high standard. Lovely grounds with plenty of equipment provided for the various activities. The owners are happy for you to continue to use the grounds even after check-out. We would highly recommend Stone Cross Mansion as a place to stay.

“Had a lovely week staying in the Alice apartment at Stone Cross Mansion.”

Well equipped apartment and the beds were very comfortable. The times we needed to contact the owner were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Ulverston is a lovely place to stay and a great base to explore the southern lakes from. Only downside was the rotten weather for the first half of the week! Would happily return.

Richard August 2024

“We love staying here, this was our second visit.”

The house is spectacular and there are additional facilities since our last stay. Overall excellent, but a couple of dissatisfiers to make you aware of: not enough cutlery or mugs in the kitchen (our apartment sleeps 6, but only 8 mugs), wi-fi was erratic and we struggled with it, noise from table football could be heard through our bedroom wall. Maybe put up a polite notice to guests that the indoor games should not be played after 9pm?

Marie June 2024

“The apartment had everything that we needed to feel at home for my family and dog.”

All rooms were spacious with beautiful modern furniture in a wonderful location the grounds and facilities provided at the mansion were a bonus. A central location of Ulverston with all amenities on your doorstep. Staff at the mansion were amazing and happy to help and assist with any issues. We cannot wait to visit again.

Jane June 2024

“This is a spacious apartment in a splendid house.”

It is surprisingly private with its own entrance and sitting out area, that gets the sun after 1pm in June. It is quiet and peaceful. The accommodation is beautifully furnished with modern classic furniture and fittings. Really well done. For those of us with mobility problems it is OK. One step up to get in then level. The shower has a step up too and no grab handle. The maintenance and attention to detail is exemplary.

“We had a lovely time at Stone Cross Mansion in the Alice apartment.”

Clean and tidy, modern and relaxing. The games area was a great addition. Close to local amenities.

“The property was fab, and well worth the money.”

Even better than the photos. Loads of space and very clean. Only a few minutes walk to centre. Would definitely book again. Only feed back would be to have a full length mirror . Thanks for the lovely stay xx

- Julie, November 2023

thank you for your feedback and we're so happy you enjoyed your stay! we have since put a large full length mirror in the apartment, thank you for the suggestion. Mike and the team Property Owner

“Amazing week in a very lovely property the only suggestion would be for extra ...”

Amazing week in a very lovely property the only suggestion would be for extra egg cups so everyone can have a boiled egg and soldiers

Andrew August 2023

“Very clean and tidy , attention to detail is obviously important which is apparent as soon as you first enter the property.”

Very comfortable, slept really well , a fantastic place to meet up with family and create memories . Grounds were well kept and loved the area with lots of independent little shops in the town and a great place to start exploring Cumbria from. We would definitely stay at stonecross again and would recommend to family and friends.

- Andrew, August 2023

“We had a fantastic holiday in the Alice apartment.”

It was a great 3 bedroom apartment all modern and comfortable. And Ulverston was great location to explore the lakes.

- Christopher, August 2023
Serena July 2023

“Absolutely first class property, location, comfort and decor.”

Well equipped too and very handy having M&S Food and Aldi on the doorstep. The Wi-Fi is terrible, which can be frustrating if you really need it, but we managed! Easy communication with management/owners when necessary and a lovely friendly and helpful team. This will definitely be our place to stay whenever we visit the Lakes in future. Thank you!

- Serena, July 2023
Cassandra July 2023

“It was a lovely apartment.”

The only very minor issue we came across was one of the bedroom doors didn't close too well. We told management, who came round straight away to get it sorted for us. It was a very comfortable and clean stay with lots of places in a short distance to visit. Our favourite was the safari zoo! It was the perfect getaway.

- Cassandra, July 2023
David June 2023

“This was our second visit and it was just as enjoyable as our first.”

Our host was just as welcoming as usual and the cleaning ladies were charming. We loved spending the early evening sitting in the grounds drinking champagne. Spoiling ourselves. Alice is a comfortable apartment on the ground floor which allows dogs and that Zac finds perfect for her needs.

- David, June 2023
Stephanie April 2023

“Excellent accommodation.”

Very accurate description. Brilliant and clean. Only issue is the Wi-Fi is a bit hit or miss - didn’t bother me, but the younger people were more frustrated!

- Stephanie, April 2023

Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable stay. We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner
Robert January 2023

“Advertised as luxury, and it certainly is!”

Everything we could wish for, especially for a fortnight in January. Warm, comfortable and inviting accommodation whatever the weather. Parking right at the door & dog friendly. Nice to have an interim clean and fresh laundry between the two weeks. A prestigious place that's well run. We enjoyed our stay very much.

- Robert, January 2023
Lisa December 2022

“Lovely place very well kept everything you need is in the apartment lovely and modern nice comfy beds great holiday”

Giselle October 2022

“This was a self-catering holiday with hotel style service.”

Nothing too much trouble and little details that made it a special holiday. We would certainly stay at Stone Cross again. Thanks to Mike for his attentive care

- Giselle, October 2022
Donna October 2022

“Large comfortable accommodation set in lovely grounds.”

A home from home. We would definitely revisit and recommend. We had an issue with the heating on arrival but this was rectified after a couple of hours and worked without a problem for the remainder of our stay. The kitchen is well equipped but we would suggest supplying additional cups or mugs so that there are spares when the dishwasher is on. Easy walk into Ulverston. The John Barrow monument is worth the walk as the views are amazing. We would recommend the Thai food at the kings arms and the quiz night at the Globe pub. Overall a lovely week

- Donna, October 2022
Roland September 2022

“First rate apartment, couldnt really fault it.”

Very well equipped, and spotless on arrival. On site staff we chatted too were very helpful. Very conveniently located for local facilities. Minor comment an operational note on the induction hob and integral microwave would have been helpful both new to us, but got there in the end.

- Roland, September 2022
Sam August 2022

“We stayed at Stone Cross Mansions for a week in the Alice suite with our children and dog.”

The apartments are brand new and I believe that we were some of the first people to stay since they were taken over by Jerry, Louise and Mike. The apartment was immaculately clean, beautifully furnished with elegant styling, very comfortable beds and thoughtful touches. When you're staying somewhere for a week, it is very helpful to have essential basics, such as binliners and loo paper, provided. There were even some treats for the dog as part of the welcome provisions. The apartments are very close to an Aldi and an M&S for supplies and within an easy walk to Ulverston Town Centre where there are some excellent restaurants - Poppy's cafe for a Full English (including veggi version) was great. The apartment was also a good spot to travel to the various lakes from, with an hour or so drive to Keswick. The lower part of Lake Windermere is only 20 minutes drive. The booking process with Syke was straightforward and the hosts were lovely and very helpful when needed. We would definitely stay again and wish the family every success with their venture. A lovely temporary home from which to see some of the most beautiful landscapes in England. Sam & family.

- Sam, August 2022

Thank you for the lovely detailed feedback, being a new property its so helpful getting feedback on the guest experience and we're so glad you had a nice time staying in the Alice suite. Hopefully we will see you again soon Mike and the team Property Owner
Jennifer August 2022

“Stunning building and surroundings.”

The rooms were all tastefully decorated but the sofa was extremely low and uncomfortable and the two chairs provided weren't comfortable either. With a week sitting on this furniture I think perhaps a rethink is necessary. No extractor fan in the bathrooms. Very little workspace in the kitchen for meal preparation

- Jennifer, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the building and the surrounding area. It's great to get your feedback on what you feel we can do to improve the guest experience, we will look at ways the furniture and kitchen can accomodate all guests. There are currently trickle venting systems in the bathrooms but we are looking at ways we can install electric extractors in the bathrooms Thanks again Mike and the team Property Owner
Philip July 2022

“Everything was very new.”

We don’t think we had a microwave or if we did it was integrated in something which we could not find- seems a bit of an oversight. Possibly could have done with six mugs as well as the cups provided but overall well appointed. We were only cooking for 4 but my wife said there might not be a pan big enough to cook a casserole for 6. WiFi worked well in the bedrooms but kept dropping out in the lounge. Lovely TV. We were closer to Ulverston centre than we realised and having found the way through to the side gate on to the road enjoyed walking down into town for a meal or a drink. Overall we had a very relaxing and happy stay.

- Philip, July 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback on your stay in the Alice suite. We really appreciate you taking the time. Off the back of your constructive comments, we have since added the additional mugs and and glasses and have added boosters to help with the internet connectivity in the lounge. Thanks again and we hope to see you again soon Mike and the team Property Owner
