The Royal Hotel

A lovingly restored Georgian town-house hotel providing luxury accommodation and exceptional hospitality amidst the unspoilt English countryside of the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland. Not only are we ideally placed for you to explore the fabulous countryside on our doorstep, the perfect place to explore the equally fabulous food and drink that these great counties have to offer. 

The fields, fells and valleys are home to hundreds of specialist food producers, organic farms, micro-breweries and even the odd spring water bottler.  There are fourteen individually designed and decorated bedrooms at the Royal Hotel.  Being an old building and arranged over three floors, the rooms are far from standard shapes and sizes.  In fact, no two bedrooms are exactly alike but they are all equally fabulous.  

The bar at The Royal Hotel is right in the middle of the building, exactly where it should be.  It is also exceptionally well stocked with real ales, thoughtfully selected wines and a career's worth of whiskies, brandies and other more exotic spirits and liqueurs.  Again, just as it should be.  Teas and coffees are served all day, there are newspapers and magazines for your perusal and the great big windows overlooking the square make it the perfect spot for a bit of people watching.  

Whether you're meeting friends or just wiling away an hour or so there are few better places to be.  Lunch is served noon 'til 15:00, dinner is served 18:00-21:30 and we serve all day on Saturday and Sunday.
