    The Hotel is wonderful and an old property with beautiful rustic beams and slanting old floors - extremely characterful - love it and stayed many times here. Extremely dog friendly they welcome our beloved pets as much as us.

    Location is wonderful in Kirkby Lonsdale. This was our second visit. Room was smaller than before but had nice window ventilation. Bathroom was neat & functional. Staff were very kind. Breakfast good. Parking is off-site and a brief walk away.
