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.

The room was lovely and spacious. There was no view outbof the window as the hotel is being extended.
The staff were helpful and did everything they could to make our stay as pleasant and comfortable as they could.
Helen and Chloe were particularly good and always made us feel welcome.
Excellent friendly staff, it looks like a refurb is taking place as the place is a little tired. The lift area has just been changed. Food was also very good.
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
Great room. Good location to walk into the town. The hotel was under some repairs / renovation hence a star dropped on one or two things.

It was like staying on a building site parking was difficult we just found a space on arrival but went out and had trouble getting another space. The shower flooded the bathroom.

The service and staff were lovely and friendly. The stairwell and corridors were dated but assuming they’re updating the hotel as the pool was out of action..this was not mentioned when booking via website. The rooms were comfortable but hot, needed the window open but noisy on the road. Great position to the centre and great parking.

Was under renovation so pool was closed, staff very friendly
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)
