Very comfortable, lots of space and beautifully designed interior. Very convenient to hop down to M&S to stock the fridge and walk into town! Wish we could have stayed longer.

It was beautifully furnished, very comfortable and warm. Had everything we needed and more. Itâs a short stroll into Ulverston and there is an Aldi and M & S food also just down the road. Mike is on the end of the phone if you need him and was amazing, we couldnât find where to park the car in the dark so gave him a call. We enjoyed it that much we have booked again for next year see you then.

The apartment felt like a home from home and had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was very well equipped (only missing a colander!) and the lounge area was great for relaxing in, in the evening. All the attractions of the Lake District are a bit of a drive away but scenery is stunning on the drive up. We also explored Ulverston which is a lovely little town. We had takeaway from the Bengal Rose restaurant and Chippy Bank, which were both excellent. We also tried Lotus Chinese but that one is to be avoided. All in all a lovely stay at Stonecross and we'd love to return in the future.
