Room was clean, most staff were efficient and friendly. Breakfast could be improved with bacon that hadn’t been overcooked. Music in the bar etc was dreadful - some weird cover versions in between adverts…

Perfectly placed hotel

The Royal is right on the square in Kirkby Lonsdale making it perfectly placed for exploring the local area. Comfortable and spacious room, great staff and a decent restaurant and bar. We were able to walk from the hotel to whatever we wanted to see locally and it was nice not having to use the car over our weekend away.

Perfect location

Perfect location and we loved the spacious rooms around the restaurant and bar as we had our dog with us. The staff in the evening were amazing when we were having ‘one last drink’ in the lounge. They helped others with eating places still open and even rang them to expect orders. Breakfast is top quality and very well cooked. This stay, our room needed some TLC. The radiator has seen better days, as has the carpet and the bath/shower combo only suits the super flexible due to the very high step up and in! A big plus is that the bed is very comfy and the added extras of tea/coffee/biscuits are a bonus in the morning. We would stay again.
