I was disappointed and surprised this hotel has a 4 star rating as stayed in nicer 3 star hotels.

Food was poor, disappointed with breakfast and service.

The room was very warm and bed very uncomfortable. Bathroom small and only bathroom accessories were two bars of soap. Also the floor was not clean.

I did not use the pool or spa so no comment.

The newly renovated leisure area was a lovely and a great place to relax. The hotel is about a 25-minute walk from the town centre. Overall, a pleasant stay and would happily return.

We stayed in this hotel for just one night on our way back from the Highlands of Scotland. I wish we had booked for longer.
A beautiful building, parking on site, a large warm room and very cheerful staff.
The breakfast was brilliant with table service for a cooked breakfast, which was presented with care and cooked to perfection.
We are going to return at a later date for a longer stay and to use the facilities!

We booked late & stayed 3 nights. We had the last room it was small but very adequate with kettle & various drinks & biscuits replenished each day. Bathroom product very basic just a bar of special soap. The staff were all lovely & very helpful. The breakfasts were amazing. All freshly cooked I have never had so much smoked salmon with my scrambled eggs. It's an old hotel but i gather have a new wing. Sadly we didn't make use of the indoor pool but hopefully will when we return.

The rooms were very clean, the beds were very comfortable, if you required any extra items from housekeeping they were very obliging. Breakfast was plentiful, cereals, fruit, toast, fresh pastries. A good selection of freshly cooked breakfasts, have it how you like it, servers were very friendly and cheerful, Helen the manager knew our drinks preferences, after the first morning and was very helpful. The bar staff were pleasant and cheerful, Chloe was very nice, chatting to us during the quiet times. A pool and jacuzzi, as well as a sauna and steam room, are free to use from 6am -9pm, towels included, very clean and well maintained. Plenty of on site free parking. Although refurbishments are currently on going to the hotel, none of it interfered with our stay or effected our experience.

Room was clean but bed really hard. So bad I didn’t sleep all night. I’d suggest softer mattresses or a deep mattress topper. Biscuits in my room were crushed to crumbs too. Staff were faultless and food exceptional however the noise from their current building works was unacceptable. I was woken at 8am to a crane outside my window, workmen stomping around outside my room and unfinished decor and a lift stiff covered in plastic wrapping. I’d suggest not accepting guests until you have completed your works.

Stonecross is a lovely old manor house that has been well restored. Quite often these old buildings fall into disrepair because of cost, but my wife and I felt it was really well presented. Stonecross is located close to the M6 but a short drive from The Yorkshire Dales or Lakes. The lobby is spacious and classy feeling with the tickle of piano music in the background. There is parking for around 10 cars with EV charging for three or four. The charging is provided externally by enozzle. 32 rooms are available but the place was quiet. The standard room was bright clean and comfortable with bath and shower. The food is excellent. There is a small but well designed menu for evening meal and drinks are not overpriced. Two alcoholic drinks cost is £12. We had a lovely stay for our anniversary and i would strongly recommend.

We arrived at a lovely stone manor with parking onsite walked into reception which was again very elegant we were given our key and told it was on the first floor we left reception via a door to the lift and everything changed the lift was half finished with boarding round it and tape peeling off we arrived at the first floor and we were met with large bags all over and builders and building materials every where they were sawing and hammering the smell of glue and adhesives was pungent

Mixed reviews

Hotel was going through a renovation when we arrived which we weren’t aware of prior to arriving. Stairs full of painting accessories, spa closed.
The room
Was small with an angled roof, small double bed. The bathroom was really nice and modern, can’t fault the cleanliness.
Staff were really pleasant but difficult to get hold of. No way of telling them you were at the desk and we stood for ages trying to get a drink even though we were the only ones in the bar. Breakfast was disappointing as was mainly fried.
Bar area modern and welcoming. A bit of a mixed review tbh! The pub down the road was great (Romneys)

There were only a few tired rooms in operation whilst the rest were being updated, but it is a building site and not the 4 star luxury we were expecting..... although it came with the same cost! For the price paid, it was disappointing, in fact, extortionate. I appreciate things need updating, but it would have been nice to know before we booked. I also understand the Stonecross will probably blame external sites for this, but unfortunately, the buck stops with you Stonecross. The staff were very friendly in difficult circumstances and I don't blame them in the slightest. But, I would not pay £160 per room per night PLUS breakfast, it wasn't worth it.
The location was good and the restaurant served nice meals.

Under going some quite extensive renovation, but a calm, clean, well-positioned place to stay for a couple of nights.

Nice location and well presented areas. Spa facilities are not available currently, which was disappointing.
The staff were lovely, breakfast was very good and the room was small but good.
A very good stay, despite the spa disappointment.

Cosy for a weekend break

A lovely hotel for a weekend but shame the SPA was under renovation. Was a cosy hotel & comfortable. But rooms need an update. Our shower head kept dripping, which was annoying. The reception/bar area was cosy. Didnt have breakfast, but looked peaceful. Car par was small so my friend struggled a bit.

We arrived late and the front desk was so accommodating when the room we booked (two twin) was not available. They offered to convert a king room into a twin and were so helpful and friendly. The room was clean, tidy, and had a beautiful view. Breakfast was outstanding. Would definitely stay here again.

Dated and Tired Rooms

The hotel was going through an extension and refurbishment when we visited. The pool and spa facilities were also closed.

The corridors to the rooms were dimly lit and smelt quite stale.

The downstairs was quite nice and modern but the room we had was in a desperate need of updating. One wall looked as if someone had tested different paint pots on it. Painted woodwork was dirty, chipped etc.

The tiny TV had about 6 stations which were impossible to watch as there was aerial problems. The curtains barely covered the actual window when pulled.

The bathroom looked clean but there was nowhere to put out toiletry bags. The shower squirted water everywhere from its connection at the top, and the toilet bowl definited needed a deep clean!

On a positive note, the staff were very pleasant and friendly and the cooked breakfast was great.

Excellent location & breakfast

We really enjoyed our 3 nights here, staff was lovely, convenient location, breakfast was excellent, nice having waters, teas, coffee, coca & cookies in the room.
For a driving trip, really liked the location. Good parking, easy access to best roads for exploring the Lake District.
Bathroom has a deep soaker tub/shower: lovely on a hiking trip!
Excellent cook to order breakfast in a nice sunny room and comfortable lounge for bar drinks.
The quibbles: bed small for a couple (N Am expect a Queen or King), the comforter also small for a couple: if one turned over, we had to readjust it so both were still covered.
Top floor roos have a sloping wall so my 6'3\" husband had to sleep on the far side of that (not our usual habit.)
On checking in & seeing the room asked if there were any alternatives but told nothing else available (odd since the hotel didn't seem busy.)
Pity because so much else was excellent but ultimately a good night's sleep is always the #1 thing about a hotel!

Not what it said on the tin

Good hotel but unfortunately there is a lot of work being do it, the staff are very friendly and hard working the let down is the pool is not in use as they are working on it, not the hotels fault but Hotels.com could have been more informative it was only when I read a review about the pool then went back their website there is a line through pool but it is very faint apart that the food was good and will back when the work is done.

Not as advertised

We recently booked a night at Stonecross Manor as part of our ten year anniversary celebrations planning to enjoy the spa facilities. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed that the pool and spa were unavailable due to renovations. At the time of booking we were not informed that this would be the case and Hotels.com did not highlight that any renovations were taking place.
Our room was spacious and we enjoyed how the hotel is supporting local businesses through the handmade toiletries. However, the walls were covered in marks, the carpet was dotted with coffee stains and most disappointing of all was the fact that we discovered in the morning that the window frame and net curtain were absolutely covered in black mould.
After an evening out, we arrived back at the hotel to find that the outer door was firmly closed and we could not alert any night staff via the intercom or by ringing the hotel. We were left wondering what to do for around twenty minutes before completing a circuit of the building in complete darkness and discovering the outside door of the kitchen. Luckily a member of staff was in there at the time and we finally gained access to the hotel.
Staff were sympathetic during checkout but no offer of discount or compensation was made. Given the rather hefty price tag of a single night and the lack of amenities, together with the distinct lack of cleanliness of the room, we cannot recommend this hotel and will not be returning.

Misleading advertisement

Very very disappointed that the pool facilities weren’t available due to refurb - they didn’t offer a refund or anything to compensate- at the end of the day the pool facilities were part of the reasoning behind this booking to get away and relax - very disappointed

Not going to stay again.

Very disappointing.
Booked twin room as I was travelling with my 15 year old son. On line room looked spacious enough for us to have some privacy.
On arrival, after driving for 5 hours, checked in. Went to room. Double bed. My son was horrified, not wanting to sleep with his 60yr old mother. Returned to front desk, was told that I had made the mistake when I booked. I had the booking on phone confirming the twin. I asked if there was a twin available. Was told there wasn't, but that my son and I could top to toe in the double bed!Neither of us slept well.
In the morning I spoke to another member of staff regarding the room. Was told nothing could be done and that I would have to sort it out with booking agent, as it had nothing to do with the hotel. Attitude of staff member was short and dismissive. We left without eating breakfast.

A very nice place

Very friendly staff and the hotel had a pool and sauna. The pool was being used at the time we were there as a training venue for children and we just used the sauna and jacuzzi. The room was very clean with lovely fresh towels with tea coffee making equipment. We never had anything to eat in the hotel but had a quiet drink in the lounge at the end of the evening, overall a nice hotel

Lovely little hotel definitely recommend

From the moment we checked in we were made welcome. Very friendly staff, nice spa area, included in the price. Yes there were children in the pool having private lessons but it was fine with us. The evening meal was a litle expensive but worth the money. Love that there was a good variety of choice for breakfast and thst you could tailor it to your taste. Lovely relaxing couples break

Overnight stay

Nice hotel within close proximity to Kendal town centre only a few miles. Access to main routes to all lake district and motorway network.
Hotel nice but needs the added wow.
Needs a good clean lots of dust and cobwebs around.
Staff polite and friendly, breakfast good and good choice.
Lounge area dull for sitting having a drink and continuous awful music.
List of of action and could cause mobility issues to higher floors.
Electric car charger bay not well sign posted and couple of times found non electric car parked in bay, not helpful if needed to charge.
Outside area needs a tidy up.
Rooms incredibly hot through the night, radiators not on and window open.
Overall good for what we needed but not potential return.

Nice premesis but shower did not work properly and was far too hot on the room. Far from perfect but was OK. Breakfast in the morning was utterly garbage. My other half is a vegetarian who does not like mushrooms so the kitchen thought it was acceptable to serve a rammakin of beans, 2 veggie sausages and a single hash brown for a veggie breakfast. Staff were nice enough and the bar and everyrhing was fine.
