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.

Lovely stay, lovely staff. A shame about the renovation work but i guess it has to be done. Room was nice but the duvet seemed to be too small for bed. Evening meal and breakfast were of exceptional quality.

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.
