"Stone Cross Mansion was a wonderful base from which to have our holiday."

Close to the Lakes, lots of amenities, and Ulverston itself is great. The accommodation is clean, spacious, and modern. The outdoor area is lovely. Having the ability to self-cater was very nice, and grocery stores are only a short walk away. I will definitely recommend this to others, and hope to stay there again.

"Please note that this is a review for The Margaret Suite not The Mabel Suite as our party of 4 were upgraded free of charge on the day of arrival."

The Margaret suite suited us more as it had two bathrooms which suited our party of 2 couples I have to say that the quality of accommodation was outstanding and it was clear to see that the whole building had been refurbished with utmost care and attention to detail. Everything was spotlessly clean and the communications with the owners were also excellent from start to finish. I can honestly say that this was by far the best apartment I have ever stayed in whilst holidaying in the UK and would highly recommend it to others

"Great apartment with everything you need."

The sofa was not particularly comfortable unfortunately. The building and grounds are lovely with excellent parking. For information the water from the shower is not held by the shower door, we had to roll a towel up to stop the bathroom floor flooding. Also, the automatic light in the storage cupboard randomly turns on and off for no reason, when the cupboard door is closed and nobody is in the cupboard (you can see the light under the door) You can hear other people leaving their apartments, with doors slamming on auto closers (Mable did not slam, next door most certainly did at 6.15am every morning when the occupier left!) These were only minor inconveniences and despite these we would absolutely stay again if we were in the area.

Thank you for your feedback and the points mentioned. I'm happy to report the light has been replaced with a different sensor and the shower adjusted in the bathroom. Thank you again for choosing to stay at Stone Cross Mansion and we hope to see you again soon Mike and the team Property Owner

"We had a fabulous time and are looking to book again next year, possibly with a bigger group to check out one of the larger apartments."

In the Mabel suite everything was perfect for a group of 2 couples. The place was comfortable and had everything needed for cooking at home. The location is brilliant for walking into Ulverston and to Aldi & M&S at the bottom of the road. Ulverston is a hidden gem. The pubs were fantastic, we went back to both the Farmers and the Mill twice each and had really good quality meals. The town has some lovely arty independent shops and it felt like a lovely community vibe. People are very friendly and chatty up here. We had a lovely walk up to the Hoad monument and enjoyed the windy views. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend stone cross mansions for anyone wanting a stylish, quiet retreat to explore the Lake District from. The shared areas in the mansion are well maintained and we really enjoyed playing pool and ax throwing on the lawn. I would suggest getting some boot scrapers and hard bristle mats near the front door and in the foyer area- given a lot of people will be visiting for hiking/walking holidays. Thanks for a lovely week we hope to come again.

"What a beautiful property that has been thoughtfully and tastefully converted with high quality fittings and appliances."

"Absolutely stunning building set in lovely grounds with beautiful holiday apartments finished to an incredibly high standard."

It had everything we could possibly need for our week away, including M&S, Aldi and Starbucks at the end of the road! I've only marked overall comfort slightly less than perfect because the bed was very firm, verging on uncomfortable, for my own personal preference but that didn't detract from the otherwise perfect apartment and wonderful week. We will definitely be back!!

"We visit the Lake District at least once a year, but don’t normally stay in the South/Peninsula area."

This holiday really revealed the beauty and versatility of the area. The Mabel Suite itself was perfect for the two of us, with fantastic furniture, facilities and standards of cleanliness. We will certainly recommend the property as well as the Sykes holiday company.

"Wonderful apartment and location."

Really enjoyed the stay. Lack of information (manuals) for cooker, washing machine, dishwasher and even the kettle caused some inconvenience. The only detail we were given in the apartment welcome pack was how to use the integrated microwave in the top oven. We had to hunt the internet for information or trust to luck for the rest. Would have liked more information on local walks / services

Thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry that you were not able to find enough information on the manuals. We have now added all the paper manuals we have found on the appliances to the back of the welcome pack to help future guests. As for the information on local walks in the area, we are currently working on the Stone Cross Mansion website which should be up and running soon and have more information on activities/services in the area. Thanks again Mike and the team Property Owner
