What our customers say about their holidays

  Greeted by the male owner, he was pleasant, i had to ask for his name.

  His wife did not come near us, just waved from their house, she did,nt interact with us in the slightest and they both dissapeared after 2 days of us being there. We were left to get on with things and we thought their animals were very hungry including a 3 wk old lamb with no mother. I texted the owner to see if i could feed the animals as it turned out to be stressful worrying about them. We left on the friday, nobody around only their 2 dogs barking madly at us from a cage. if you,re an animal lover, it tugs at your heartstrings. The people in the barn underneath woke us up every morning around 4ish, so you can hear all the noise from below. lots of young lads one evening shouting and roaring with laughter from 5pm til 9-15 pm, i had to text the owner to ask how long did we have to listen to it after being out for 8 hrs, we were tired, one of them was her son, mates brought back while owners away i suppose. no respect for people paying lots of money for a holiday. more stress. If you want peace and privacy, there wasnt any for us, also take essentials as they leave you no milk, no kitchen roll, not a t bag in sight, good job we brought our own, first place we have been without milk or welcome pack. Also a hungry cat always looking for food. Just feel its sad they cant interact with guests. 1st night we had no wifi, i had to tell the male owner, he sorted it next day. feel i need to complain as for what we went through, it was,nt a relaxing holiday. the barn is right facing the owner,s house, if we would have known, we would not have booked it. Sykes need to sympathise and put more info on this property. We will complain to them.

  We had a fabulous time and are looking to book again next year, possibly with a bigger group to check out one of the larger apartments.

  In the Mabel suite everything was perfect for a group of 2 couples. The place was comfortable and had everything needed for cooking at home. The location is brilliant for walking into Ulverston and to Aldi & M&S at the bottom of the road. Ulverston is a hidden gem. The pubs were fantastic, we went back to both the Farmers and the Mill twice each and had really good quality meals. The town has some lovely arty independent shops and it felt like a lovely community vibe. People are very friendly and chatty up here. We had a lovely walk up to the Hoad monument and enjoyed the windy views. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend stone cross mansions for anyone wanting a stylish, quiet retreat to explore the Lake District from. The shared areas in the mansion are well maintained and we really enjoyed playing pool and ax throwing on the lawn. I would suggest getting some boot scrapers and hard bristle mats near the front door and in the foyer area- given a lot of people will be visiting for hiking/walking holidays. Thanks for a lovely week we hope to come again.

  A Beautiful apartment - lovely high ceilings.

  We were so impressed from the moment we arrived. It had everything we needed for our stay. Beautiful staircase. Easy to park. Close to supermarkets. Really liked the area. 2 negatives: the shower pressure was far too much and dangerous for my 7 and 9 yo children to be able to have a shower and when i turned it to try and reduce the pressure it turned hot and burnt my arm. It should have a danger sign on it. So we would not have been able to stay longer than 4 days there as it was not possible for the kids to have a shower. We also think there was a problem with the toilet plumbing in the main bathroom due to the fact that when the en-suite toilet was used some of the toilet contents appeared in the main bathroom toilet so that needed to be flushed too. It was very strange. The bed mattress was also very soft and not that comfortable. Part from these points, it was amazing. It was lovely how there were coffee pods for us to use and teabags and biscuits. Absolutely loved the kitchen. A lovely bright apartment.

  Property owner very friendly and helpful.

  Location is stunning Facilities accurate as per listing Cottage was clean and tidy on arrival Children loved seeing the sheep and alpacas every morning. Only disappointment was the people staying in the lodge below complaining about us walking around the holiday loft at 8pm whilst trying to get three children to bed (not partying at 11pm). Which if they had read the previous reviews they would have expected to hear the footsteps from above. This spoilt the whole trip as with three kids we were then walking on tiptoes for the rest of the week (despite being woken up every morning by the same people below @ 5-6 am). I actually felt sorry for the lovely property owner having to ask us to stop moving around the loft. If it was not for the idiotic people below we would have given a 5 start rating for this lodge.

  This was absolutely gorgeous location with an amazing property.

  It was so fresh and clean when we arrived and really was set up to meet all our needs. The kitchen really did have everything you could need to self-cater. We went to both Booths and Aldi in Ulverston, so it's not even out of the way to get what you need. We met the owners quite a few times (who are really nice), as this is a working farm set on Birkkrigg Common, which is great for walks and even has a small Stone Circle. Our girls loved seeing all the sheep and Alpacas. And on top of all of this you can't beat the view of Morecambe Bay, literally from wherever you stand you get vistas of it. It's within walking distance or 2 minute drive for walks on massive tidal beaches. All in all we had an amazing time and the only slight draw back, and I know this personal preference, would be a softer bed, and that's just me.
