Nice room friendly staff, service and food were excellent.
Tony
The hotel was on the main street with shops and pubs all in walking distance. We were able to eat and drink at the Red Dragon. The only drawback was no on site parking so the car had
to be left about 10 minutes walk away. This was the only issue the rest was great.

Change not always as good as a rest
We have been to this hotel previously when we rated our stay as excellent. Apparently, there have been some staff changes recently and we found that we didn’t enjoy our stay as much as the previous ones. We arrived early only to be met by a charmless member of staff who told us there was no chance that he would check us in before 3pm. We only wanted to leave our bag there until check in time as we were parked a distance from the hotel. To be fair he allowed us to do this. The other service that had deteriorated was the evening meal and the wait we had to be served. The barman gave us menus but never bothered to take our order and took orders from other tables who had arrived after us and we eventually had to go to the bar to place our order. When the food eventually arrived it was not worth the wait. By way of contrast the breakfast was superb so complements to the chef. We feel a little disappointed that the recent changes that have been made have only served to reduce the customer experience and we would probably look elsewhere the next time we are staying in the area.

A fantastic stopover travelling north or south on M6.
Garry
Decent rooms in the hotel, breakfast ok looking a little tired in the pub area
Philip
Delicious breakfast
So upon arrival the hotel had no record of our booking through Hotels.com.
Luckily they had a room available and gave it us for the rate id booked a year ago.
The room was large, nicely decorated. Comfortable bed. Large bathroom.
Breakfast was outstanding delicious.
The staff were lovely.
We had two issues. The toilet wasn't clean, had poo stains from previous guests. And there was no hot water from the shower. Luckily the bath was ok.

Alexander
Nice rooms, shame about the food.
It was a nightmare to get to the Red Dragon as the road outside had been closed. Parking was Pay & Display in the Market Square and it isn’t cheap!
The Red Dragon is a pub with rooms which have been nicely furnished. The food is very much pub grub and not a great standard. I had a pie which came with a ballooned puff pastry lid straight from the freezer. A little effort with the food and it would be a nice place to stay. The staff were nice worked hard. Breakfast was ok but could be improved. Would I stay there again? Unlikely.

Great pub, great location and amazing staff
Lovely stay, the staff are so friendly and cannot do enough for you. Location is great right in town centre. Food was excellent. The room was very clean and a good size shower just a shame the water was a bit lukewarm but maybe as it was the furthest room. Would definitely recommend a stay.
Kenneth
Great hotel, immaculate large room, super king size bed. Staff were very welcoming, especially to our furry friends.
Heather
Great hotel, brilliant staff
I was made to feel welcome as soon as I arrived and all the staff I met were brilliant - nothing was too much trouble. Most importantly, they all appeared to genuinely care that I enjoyed my stay. The breakfast was delicious as well. I wouldn't hesitate to come back. Thank you!

Susan
Lovely pub in a great location
John
Staff were really lovely. Pub downstairs was good. Room was refitted and some bits were great while other bits appear to have been poorly thought out. We did have some noise from the terrace of the restaurant next door until quite late.

I had a lovely stay here the room was very spacious and the bed incredibly comfortable. The food downstairs was also very good. Lovely pub!
Sandra
Great staff
Lovely hotel room, nicely decorated and the bed was luxurious and comfy. Bathroom was okay, but prefer walk in showers. It was very warm at night and unable to open the windows, although a fan was provided. Staff are excellent both at the bar, check in and breakfast. Breakfast was very good, plenty of choice and served with a smile.
Edward
Lovely old pub, with lovely big rooms if mine is anything to go by. Very quiet despite being in the centre, although it was midweek. Very nice meal in a good atmosphere. Great cooked breakfast, nice, helpful staff. Impressed.
Kathryn
Room lovely, bathroom nice all very clean, plenty of tea, coffee etc in the room. Breakfast was very good and plenty of choice. The food in the evening was nice too. All round great stay
Allan
Lovely, Lovely, Lovely
Kirkby Lonsdale is a lovely quaint town, and the Red Dragon Inn compliments it by creating a warm, welcoming environment. The rooms are clean and are a high standard, the food very good on the normal menu, with the breakfast being exactly what you needed after a days walking and sampling the fine ales the town has to offer. All the team there treated us fantastically, extremely friendly, and a real big shout out to Sharon who looked after for at breakfast and couldn't do enough to make sure our stay was a positive one. Check in and check out a breeze. Will definitely be back.
Phil

Lovely pub in the centre of Kirby Lonsdale
We stayed for 1 night and the room was clean, very nicely decorated and comfortable. Whilst the choice at breakfast was basic, the cooked breakfast was lovely & not greasy . Would recommend.

Great wee place and would certainly stay again however, unsure if the heating had been left on, made sure rad was off and windows open. Used the fan also.V warm room. Just a wee niggle, no dramas !
Paul
Lovely staff and great breakfast. We took advantage of local parking that was free between 6pm and 8am. Traditional pub with good food and we had a comfortable room with a great walk in shower. Very clean.
Jillian

Fantastic place to stay and eat.

OVERNIGHT
There is nothing exceptional about the place so perhaps not for a special occasion. Having said this its of a good standard, a good size clean room with plenty of coffee etc, decent quality and a reasonable price. Friendly and helpful staff.
No onsite parking but car parks (paid) nearby.
We used it as an overnight stop on our journey up to Scotland. Would happily stay again.

Super Red Dragon Inn
The best in the village. We have stayed in a few hotel in Carnforth and Kirkby Lonsdale, but the Red Dragon inn, is now at the top of our list. Covid ready, comfortable room big bathroom, very clean, the person who welcomed us took our luggage to our room. Food was delicious and plentiful, all the staff were friendly and professional.
