- be careful when opening the sash windows in the bedrooms - the pillows were a little flat but I am sure this would have been rectified had we remembered to mention it

Excellent breakfast, comfortable beds, good parking, quiet location

Great location, lovely old rooms and outlook

it’s location, beautiful garden

it was rather tired and in need of an upgrade

The breakfast was excellent with a suoerb range of options cooked to order. The presentation of it was superb and very 'posh'. The rstriped room we were in was roomy and clean - full of quirky features, as was the whole house. The bathroom was modern and recently modelled with high quality fixtures. We felt very well attended to without ever feeling under pressure. We had space in a fridge for anything we needed to keep cool as well as having a pint of real milk ready for us.The location was very rural - far from any noise or traffic but close to lots of nice villages with plenty of hill walking on offer. The host was lovely too!

Nothing stands out,

Had a great stay there for a night. It's a very beautiful location facing the Dovedale hills. Great to read about the history of the building back dated 16th century. Rooms are spacious along with big shower room and bath room. Room has that old charm luxury look. Beds were very comfortable and had a nice sleep. Breakfast was delicious. Naomi is a super host and she welcomed us with a nice peppermint tea and ice-cream for my son. :-). Will be visiting again.

Very good break fast.

I liked the homemade jam tarts and flapjacks with a pot of tea in the drawing room when we arrived. It was nice that fresh milk was provided in the fridge for when we made our own teas and coffees. The breakfast was nice, as well as the homemade jams and lemon curd. The location was good and we enjoyed our walk in Dovedale which is really close by.

Relaxed atmosphere, beautiful setting, and lovely attention to detail with the breakfast and facilities within the room.

Naomi was the perfect hostess and made our stay so enjoyable. We loved relaxing by the open fire after being outdoors and listening to music in the beautifully decorated sittingroom. The beds were very comfortable and we slept well. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The house was tastefully decorated throughout. Peaceful and quiet location with views of the gardens and countryside.

The welcome was fantastic, rooms are gorgeous, the bed was sooooo comfortable! The breakfast was fantastic, loads of choice, and the cooked breakfast done as you requested.

Nothing. Stanshope Hall and it's hosts are amazing.

Fantastic welcome with tea/coffee and biscuits. The hotel itself is full of character with a country-house drawing room available for guests to use. Good quality breakfast with plenty of choice. Spacious accommodation with both bath and shower.

Lovely place in lovely surroundings. An excellent breakfast and the host Naomi was very accommodating. Nice little touches all around as well.

Nothing negative to report apart from not really being near anywhere but that was fine. You just need a car.

In addition to the fabulous stay, wonderful views and really warm welcome, I need to convey my thanks for the staff honesty. While should expect it, it cannot be guaranteed. I left my entire jewellery box in the room. I was back in the U.K. from overseas for many weeks so you can imagine how much I had with me. Yes lots and very valuable. The cleaning staff handed it in and the owner kept in until I was able to return. I tried to offer a reward but it was not taken. The owner also having the attitude of expecting honesty as well as guaranteeing it. So I’m enormously grateful. I don’t imagine being as lucky in all places I stayed in this summer Thank you.

Views are amazing. Annabel was lovely and helpful

Shower was too small and towels didn't smell nice

Everything was amazing. Especially the location

N/a

A lovely house in a beautiful location. Very interesting furnishings and decor and a beautiful building. Comfortable rooms and bathroom. Extensive breakfast menu. Fair number of good places to eat in the area. Very helpful staff. Our stay was on the first day after the lock down restrictions ended but there were no signs of any teething problems on the first day of business for a long time.

Stunning location, lovely property, garden and view from room. Path adjacent to property leads to Milldale, Ilam Rock Bridge and Dovedale . Welcome tray on arrival with scones and coffee by log fire in lounge. We were able to come back from walk and light fire in lounge - perfect. Staff and host could not have been more welcoming and helpful, but unobtrusive. Large, comfortable spacious room with lovely en-suite. Tasty, well presented, quality breakfast in room with views of garden.

Minor points: Bathroom only had a net curtain over long, clear glass window next to toilet. Although in the middle of nowhere, still felt a bit uncomfortable at night with light on. Meaty breakfast had two slices of bacon and one sausage , vegetarian had only one very nice sausage - could have done with two, didn't like to ask
