Mariana
The apartment was absolutely superb (Apartment 3 - Wilfred). The most spacious living room we've stayed in - which used to be the dinning hall, still showing some of the original features. Cosy bedrooms, spotless bathrooms, luxurious welcome pack. Warm, welcoming and comfortable. Great attention to detail and wow factor. It was nice having the book to read about the place and Ulverston. Good location for the Lakes, short walk into town where there are lots of shops and the Laurel & Hardy museum, pubs & restaurants. The outside space of the property is well-kept, with games, but also quiet spots. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Beautiful building and very well maintained grounds. The apartment had everything that we needed and was nice and clean. The advance sharing of the information pack prior to our arrival was very helpful. The children loved all the various activities dotted around the grounds. It was also very convenient to have food shops at the end of the drive. Only thing that was patchy was the WiFi, but that wasnât really a surprise. Would definitely recommend staying to friends. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The original features were amazing and had been restored so well. The space gave us great flexibility and having the outside area was an added bonus. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, and the sofa was so comfortable and had adequate space for everyone. The 'grown-up' children particularly enjoyed the pool table and games outside, and the adults appreciated the space, tranquility and beautifully maintained gardens. We hope to come back next year and do the things we didn't do this year and we have already recommended Stone Cross Mansion to our family and friends.
