"We had a lovely week's stay at Stonecross Mansion in the Kennedy apartment."

The apartment felt like a home from home and had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was very well equipped (only missing a colander!) and the lounge area was great for relaxing in, in the evening. All the attractions of the Lake District are a bit of a drive away but scenery is stunning on the drive up. We also explored Ulverston which is a lovely little town. We had takeaway from the Bengal Rose restaurant and Chippy Bank, which were both excellent. We also tried Lotus Chinese but that one is to be avoided. All in all a lovely stay at Stonecross and we'd love to return in the future.

"This is a very impressive place to stay."

The apartment was beautiful, with lots of conveniences such as plentiful electrical sockets with USB ports, and a very effective top-of-the-range electric hob. We loved the fabulous TV room, and all the games in the grounds outside (table tennis, boules, etc.). A couple of small niggles: some food (butter) had been left behind by a previous occupant in one of the cupboards; the tops of the lower panels of the sash windows really need a clean; and it would be great to have some towel rails -- the small hooks in the bathrooms are too small to hang the beautiful large bath towels on.

"We had an absolutely fabulous stay in this apartment."

It was comfortable and clean. Ten mins walk to the town where there are a good number of great pubs and restaurants. The games (indoor and outdoor) were great and the kids loved playing cricket, pool, golf etc. There was plenty to occupy ourselves with. Great walks nearby too. Highly recommend!

"We had a great stay at the Kennady House!"

A great location for driving into the Lakes. The grounds were perfect for sitting out and enjoying the scenery, as well as having our own seating area outside. Booths, M&S and Aldi just down the road to for essentials. This was a luxury apartment, from the quality of the furnishings to the towels and bed linen provided. The twin bedroom can be set up as a King if you request in advance. You will not be disappointed staying here!

Thank you for your wonderful thoughts on Stone Cross and we are so happy you had a nice stay. Mike and the team Property Owner

"Lovely building tastefully done and well maintained."

We were there when the Dickensian festival was on which was fantastic although very busy. The apartment was ideally placed as we could walk to the village in minutes without the hassle of having to park. Well worth a visit.

Thank you for the great feedback, The Dickensian festival seems to get bigger each year. I'm sure it will be another busy one in 2024. We are so happy you had a nice stay. Mike and the team Property Owner

"The property we rented (and the entire complex) was delightful and we would love to return."

The only thing that would have made it even better was a greater provision of crockery.

I will limit my words to only say that I found it a privilege to stay in such an opulent and exclusive and comfortable property. Also, I should add that the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Great Team!

"What a fabulous apartment in a stunning setting!"

Spacious, great water pressure in the showers, comfortable beds and sofa, great facilities, dining and relaxing area. The grounds are great to stroll around and the owners, Gerry & Louise, are two of the nicest people you could hope to meet. Very dog friendly and within easy walking distance of a nice sized town which has a great selection of food and drinking options. We used as a base to explore Windermere, Coniston, Ullswater and the coast at Furness, in addition to local hikes on the doorstep. A great holiday made special by a fantastic apartment and friendly people.

"We had a lovely week here, the apartment is wonderful."

It has everything you could possibly need, It feels really spacious. The outside patio area is perfect especially for our little dog, he could just go in and out of the apartment safely. The grounds are beautiful and you are in walking distance of the centre and it’s a lovely walk. We would definitely love to go back.

Thank you for your great feedback, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again. Mike and the team Property Owner
