Alice House Stone Cross Mansion

We came to Alice house for my dad’s 80th birthday and what can I say.

It was incredible. Pulling up on the drive the mansion was so picturesque that it does take your breath away. The grounds are well kept with a variety of indoor and outdoor games. The apartment itself Alice house - has another entrance round the side of the building with 2 exclusive parking spaces. The facility provided was the immaculate as well as the rooms and how clean and tidy everything was. It was the perfect combination of old charm and modern design. As we had our dog with us as well they put a food and water bowl and by chance his favourite treats as well. As well as my favourite biscuits for our tea and coffee welcome hamper. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much

Lovely place to stay big apartment very clean and everything you need there is a lot off thought gone into it .

Even left treats for dog and bowls .

We had a wonderful stay in Alice House, it was a fabulous apartment great for my elderly parents and close enough to town for my sister and I to walk in too.

The only thing I would say was there was only one bed side table in the twin room and no bed side lamp when the room was made up as a double. We also thought there could have been more dishes to allow breakfast and dinner dishes to be popped in the dishwasher at the same time. We really enjoyed staying in Alice house and wont hesitate to book again. The ground's also had plenty to do in them with what I called the mansion Games with a putting green, table tennis, boules, archery, badminton etc, the list goes on.

We had a lovely 4 day stay over Christmas!

It was better than we expected and there was a lovely welcome hamper in the kitchen even treats for the dog which was a lovely touch. Very peaceful surroundings and a nice little village to visit in walking distance

Our 3rd visit to Stone Cross Mansion and it will definitely not be the last.

Even the dog gets excited on his way up the driveway. The staff are very friendly and the apartments are very well appointed, everything you need is readily available. We were able to make good use of the private patio as the weather was great. This is a great base for exploring all the Lake District has to offer. We even brought more of the family this time and they loved it too. Well done, again, Stone Cross. Can’t wait to go back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!

The only very slight criticism was the step up into the hall from the front entrance was a little difficult for our aged Mother to negotiate.

A small ramp or another step would be beneficial. This is only a minor point as everything about the property was faultless and we all had a great time, especially with the recreational facilities and the beautiful gardens, which were well kept and maintained. With very grateful thanks. Chris & Sue Brooks and family.

A well equipped and stylish apartment with all the comforts of home.

We enjoyed 7 days stay in the Easter break. it’s a great location to explore everything the Lake District has to offer. A couple of small things to note the wi-if was a bit patchy in a couple of the bedrooms and a little bit of noise from upstairs. We would like to say thanks to Mike for allowing us to stay a bit longer past check out due to a car breakdown, making a bit of stressful time a bit easier.

We had a lovely family time at Stone Cross Mansion.

Very comfortable flats in beautiful, peaceful surroundings and within easy walking distance to essential shops and Ulverston town centre. Lovely location to explore the southern Lake District. The kitchen was generally well stocked. One thing we would have liked, were a couple more saucepans, especially one larger one and maybe a few more serving utensils. However, our overall experience was excellent and we’d hope to come back sometime.

We had a really wonderful stay over Christmas & would highly recommend (we will definitely be back).

The location is perfect for exploring the lakes, and the apartment is finished to a high standard with everything you need (and more) for your stay!

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.

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?

This place is wonderful!

It is so quiet yet so close to everything you need and want to see. We highly recommend Stone Cross Mansion!

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
