Boutique hotel in a historic Georgian building with AA Rosette dining
Dining & Culinary Offerings
The on-site restaurant holds AA One Rosette accreditation for its regional food. It serves dinner seven days a week using locally sourced ingredients and a menu that includes steak and small plates (small plates available Friday and Saturday only). Breakfast is cooked to order with quality ingredients, including a full English breakfast and options like eggs Benedict.
Accommodations & Rooms
Plato's has eight exquisitely appointed rooms, including Standard Double, Superior King, and Deluxe categories. Room 4 is a deluxe room with a bath and shower over the bath, while room 8 offers a view down the high street. All rooms include luxury beds, flat-screen TVs, antiques, and a supply of bottled water, tea, coffee, and biscuits.
Location & Outdoor Activities
The hotel sits in the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale, steps from independent shops and the Ruskin's View river walk. Guests receive free parking permits for a nearby car park, and have access to Harvey's Walks and guided biking tours. The Yorkshire Dales and Lake District national parks are a short drive away.
Pet-Friendly Policies
Dogs are welcome throughout the hotel, including in guest rooms and dining areas. The hotel supplies dog beds, bowls, and treats, and will cook a sausage for the dog at breakfast. A reasonable pet fee is charged, which is lower than many other dog-friendly hotels.
