The hotel had a mix of positives and some drawbacks. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although a bit small for the price. Unfortunately, our room faced a road with a bad smell, and the sink was in the room and not in the bathroom, unlike our previous great experience at the hotel.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were small but perfectly formed, with lovely attention to detail like fresh milk for tea and coffee. The bed was so comfortable, it was hard to get up in the morning. Overlooking the church added to the charm of the room.

8.2/10

The hotel is located right in the center of the beautiful village of Kirkby Lonsdale, ideal for exploring the town and local area. The rooms offer a pleasant view of the churchyard and surrounding hills, although they are located up lots of stairs. The service was professional and friendly, ensuring our needs were met promptly. The dining experience, while offering gourmet pizzas, fell short in portion size. The location is full of superb scenery and wonderful dining options. A great bar and reasonable food are available, but unexpected noise can disrupt the peaceful setting.
