The Alfred Suite Stone Cross Mansion

Fantastic apartment in an amazing building and gardens.

Everything was there for us and the welcome pack was excellent. I can recommend anyone to look into booking with Sykes Cottages any day.

We've stayed here previously.

On arrival the apartment was lovely and clean and well appointed. A really nice welcome pack was provided. Nice touch. Stone Cross mansion itself is beautiful inside and out. The grounds are lovely and really well looked after. It's such a peaceful location. Games are provided out on the lawns for children and adults as well as chairs and sunbeds. The town is an easy walk from the house. The onsite staff are so helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with any issues or information as required. Bottom line, would we stay again or recommend this property...... definitely.

An amazing stay!

Beautiful house and location is perfect for getting to all the main lakes. We loved the facilities that the house had to offer and would definitely look to rebook! Plenty of space within the apartment for our family of four, the children absolutely loved it!

Fantastic.

.highly recommended..will be coming back...

An absolutely superb place to stay and everyone was helpful in responding to any queries we may have had about the local area.

For information only, I would let you know that there was one steak knife missing from the knife block, but we didn't use them anyway. The welcome pack was most helpful too, and we really appreciated the extra welcome items (tea, coffee, biscuits, etc) that were available when we arrived. Thank you very much

We recommend this lovely place to anyone who will listen!

We have stayed here twice now, in the Mabel Suite and now the Alfred Suite and are missing it already now that we’re home.

Beautifully appointed accommodation set in well maintained grounds.

The whole building was pristine and cared for. Fantastic high quality fittings and equipment with everything you could need. Help quickly available for small problem which came down to our human error. Situated a short walk from town close to fantastic food serving hostelries.

A lovely apartment in a beautiful old mansion house full of character and set in lovely grounds.

The kitchen had plenty of equipment and facilities, although we found the combined oven/microwave rather difficult to operate and would have preferred a basic microwave. The lounge area was comfortable with a good tv and sofa. Excellent showers and towels/ towel rails in the bathrooms. The beds were comfortable although a bit brighter lighting would be appreciated for reading. Very easy to walk into Ulverston and its excellent gastro pubs and cafes which we know well. Overall an excellent holiday property.

A beautiful apartment set in well kept grounds yet only a few minutes from Ulverston.

The apartment is spacious, well furnished and comfortable. A completely grand but tranquil base to explore the surroundings. We loved it!

We had a fantastic stay with you and would highly recommend it to others.

Everything was available to us and everything we might need had been thought of. It was better than we expected and would love to return again. The grounds were exceptional too! Never stayed in an apartment before but with adult children, this is definitely the way forward for us. Thanks for having us.

This is my fifth stay here each time a different room and I have yet to be disappointed Outstanding place to stay

The visit to the Alfred Suite was truly incredible.

We loved the gift basket, fresh linens, complementary soap & basic fridge items and we were delighted with the whole cleanliness and freshness of the apartment. The indoor and outdoor shared spaces were beautiful and we loved the addition of the outdoor games! Thank you, it was a truly beautiful visit to a grand estate.

We had a lovely holiday at Stone Cross Mansion.

The conversion of the building has been done with great sensitivity and care to preserve the historic ambience and architectural details of a building that expresses the values of its age. Designed to be a home, the building still has a sense of welcome and comfort. It celebrates the history of its owners and that of the area that produced the wealth to create it. The apartment was spacious and comfortable although, at 5’2” I could not reach the top shelf of any of the cupboards or the fridge! Fortunately I had a taller daughter with me who could. It was a joy to come ‘home’ at the end of each day and we had a lovely stay. Thank you to everyone who works so hard to keep it looking so wonderful.

A very well appointed apartment in a magnificent building.

No negatives at all.

We had a wonderful week's stay at the Alfred Suite.

The apartment itself is spacious, comfortable, and very well appointed. The grand lobby immaculately presented and stunning. There are a range of amenities on the doorstep, with the town a short stroll away for restaurants, pubs, etc, and an M&S Food and Aldi at the bottom of the driveway. Access to the Lakes is also convenient for activities and the main tourist attractions.

It was amazing.

...brilliant standards...lovely onside staff...exceptional customer service....had a lovely holiday

Lovely place to stay, very clean and comfortable.

Will definitely be returning.

The Mansion is absolutely stunning and the apartment was very spacious and thoughtfully styled.

The kitchen was great for us to cook in and we really enjoyed the open plan style. Ulverston is a great base to explore the lakes. Whilst its not centrally in the lakes; the accommodation was some of the most luxurious we have stayed in and very conveniently there were two supermarkets at the end of our road and the town was 5 minute walk. It should be highlighted in the welcome book that the shortcut to town is left out the house and then through the gate in the wall at the end of the cul de sac. Also be warned, the showers are extremely powerful. Not necessarily a bad thing but they take you by surprise!

Absolutely thrilled with the accommodation.

Far better than expected from the description online. Beautifully maintained, beautifully appointed and a real must have for anybody considering a Lake District holiday and using Ulverston as a base. Thank you all.

Fabulous place, the building itself is incredibly impressive and the level of detail and comfort available in the apartments is 5 star, there is nothing they haven't thought of.

5 minute walk into town but make sure you ask about the short cut through the gate to your left as you leave the building or you will end up walking the long way down the drive like we did for first three days lol!

The Alfred suite was comfortable and clean, very quiet, everything provided for a relaxing holiday would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful week at Stonecross.

The property is fantastic with lots of space and character. We loved the high specification throughout including the kitchen appliances and the quality of the restoration. The location was great and there’s lots of amenities nearby, with only a 10 min walk into town where’s there’s plenty of choice to eat and drink. We’ll definitely be back soon.
