The Royal Hotel & Restaurant

An historic, beautifully and tastefully decorated hotel in the heart of Kirkby Lonsdale. Our bedroom overlooking the square was spotlessly clean, in excellent condition, well decorated and well furnished. The hotel bar is large, comfortable and well stocked. Unfortunately, we did not dine in the hotel other than to have breakfast, which was delicious and plentiful. The staff are very competent and extremely helpful which became very apparent when our car broke down and had to be recovered on the day we checked out of the hotel. We were allowed to store our baggage while we waited for a courtesy car to be delivered which was not without its issues. The hotel management even kindly offered us a room for that night and reduced rates if it became necessary. One item to note, the hotel itself does not have any parking available. There is a pay car park within easy walking distance (1 minute).

Been here before and had a lovely meal with my cousin and his wife. We were on holiday again this year so decided to call again. Never disappointed, it was lovely! I'm visiting on a 'girlie' weekend next March staying locally so another visit is a must for sure.

Amazing service and great food. We visited with a 4 month old. The lady working there offered to hold our daughter while we ate our food. She really made our visit perfect. Thank you so so much. The best gammon steak I’ve ever had too.

Another business in KL that we remember opening/reopening. Stayed here twice, including the large corner room with a bath in the middle of the floor. Madge has been here for drinks and afternoon tea. We've had a few meals over the years. Flatric's first visit. Four Bowland Brewery real ales. I had the Bumble 4% honey golden ale. Madge ordered prosecco. Cask Marque pub.

Had a fabulous family lunch yesterday celebrating my partners birthday. From the beginning discussing it all with Mike with allergies for some foods he was so efficient cannot fault. All our food was delicious with amazing service. Thankyou so much.

Lovely overnight stay, great breakfast and for the price of the town and country break, great value however the room was small and tired. Toilet had a dodgy flush and the seat wasn’t fixed properly, the bath plug had no chain so impossible to remove and the lovely bathroom paper was peppered with previous occupants toothpaste - I wiped a load off with a towel before departure. Food in the restaurant was average, I had 5 pieces of gnocchi in my chicken/gnocchi dish so would suggest dining elsewhere.

We had 3 different meals with varying success. Fish pie was highly rated 8/10. Chicken burger was a little on the small side for the price 7/10 and the ribs with chips were not as soft and would be expected 6/10.

We had a lovely meal. Ate in the bar, nice setting with good atmosphere. Staff very attentive. Definitely worth a visit.
