We have just returned from two nights at the Stonecross Manor Hotel. It was a last minute decision to have a weekend away, and one which we did not regret. I do agree with some of the comments regarding the ongoing programme of redecoration, as our room would have benefited from a little attention. The room itself was quite small... more

We used Stonecross as a base for exploring the Lake District. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, The food was lovely with a good vegetarian dish every night. It's worth booking dinner in the hotel as Kendal seems to have only Indian or Chinese restaurants. The room was clean and the bed was very big and comfortable. We... more

This hotel was booked at the last minute and on a budget for bank holday weekend so expectations weren't high. However, from the minute we walked into the warm ,welcoming and classy reception we knew we wouldn't be disappointed. I was particularly impressed they had an indoor swimming pool - although it was a little cold for my two year... more

Stayed here with husband. Cannot comment on the rest of the rooms having paid a bit extra for the King sized 4 poster room! Friendly staff when we arrived, made to feel very welcome. Our room was fantastic and added luxury of jacuzzi bath. Ate in the restaurant, food was good value, waiting staff all very friendly. Facilities in the... more

I stayed for only one night with my elderly mother as we were meeting some Australian friends and it was a suitable meeting point. We arrived early to be told that the room would not be ready til 2 pm. I accept this but most hotels would say that they although check was not til 2 they would see what... more

Stayed with friends for Friday & Saturday night. Agree with all comments about very poor state of decor - non smoking 4-poster bedroom smelt of stale cigarette smoke - it was not very clean and there were lots of signs of damp/mould on the walls, and the windows hadn't been cleaned for a very long time. PLEASE spend some money... more

Great location, easy to find, even in the dark :-) Arrived very late, not a problem at all. Room was lovely, 4 poster bed and a flat screen TV, and all you need for a weekend away. My one little moan. Mould in the bathroom, not very attractive. Breakfast was superb, all you could want to eat, hot and cold.... more

My wife and I enjoyed a really enjoyable stay in May,in fact we enjoyed it so much we again to stay in August but this time with two of our children. This stay was even better and I can't praise the staff highly enough for their running of the hotel,everything was A1 from the standard and cleanliness of the rooms... more

We stayed here for one night on the way to Windermere as we couldn't find a room for just a saturday night in Windermere itself. On arrival, we were treated more as an inconvenience than a guest as we'd arrived at 10am and the person on reception seemed to assume this mean't we wanted to check in. All we wanted... more
