“The Sun Inn, a 5-star AA Rated Guest House, strikes me as a genuinely dog-friendly spot amidst Kirkby Lonsdale's historic charm, even if one experience suggests service hiccups can occur. With its AA Rosette-awarded dining and location near the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, it promises both culinary delight and scenic exploration. It's the kind of place where the chef's Michelin background meets the warmth of a family-run establishment, a blend that could be quite special.”

small room dated furniture
I booked a Beautiful Double Room. It was rather small. There was not much room on either side of the bed. The decor seemed unimaginative with all the brown. The wardrobe seemed dated and there were two fake leather arm chairs. The restaurant food quality seemed pretty average. I would probably not return due to the disappointing experience.

decent stay

parking permit walk in shower expensive menu service charge
the location was quite convenient for exploring the area i received a parking permit that allowed me to park in nearby car parks the room overlooked a churchyard which was a pleasant sight it was clean and the bathroom had a large bath and a separate walk in shower. the shower products and extra towels were a nice addition
the evening menu looked basic and somewhat expensive i also noticed a 10% service charge added to the bill this felt a bit much i found it off putting i decided not to eat there as a result this limited my dining options

Really good Stay with Excellent Breakfast

parking permit helpful staff homemade granola
The hotel provided parking permits for the town's Pay & Display car parks, convenient (it was just a short walk). The staff members were helpful and amiable. Breakfast was excellent. I especially enjoyed the homemade granola. The hotel even offers walking boots, a very considerate touch.
The menu choices were somewhat limited during my dinner.
