Cordless phone, wireless LAN and anything else based on Radio wireless is highly dependent on the manufacturer of the product, the components, the antenna used and the power the transceivers at both ends are capable of pushing out. As such it's hard to tell how good a base station will be without testing it. Reviews help but only to a marginal extent as they are never going to be in the same building as you and every building, especially stone, is different.
A friend of mine lives in an old house in Calne, Wiltshire with thick stone walls. His Panasonic cordless phone seems to work fine, whereas he needs to be pretty careful about where he goes when it comes to 802.11g signal strength (Netgear wireless ADSL router and PCMCIA card).
My Sony T610 mobile, which is pretty hopeless when it comes to handling poor signal strength, might as well be in a lead-lined box buried five miles underground when I walk through his front-door.
