  • "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.

  • "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.

  • "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.

  • "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!

    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 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.
