Red Dragon, Kirkby Lonsdale in South Lakeland

Nice atmosphere and staff, but really truly awful food. £15 for a chicken burger that was a very sad tiny chicken breast and a handful of chips. Didn't even come with the cheese it stated on the menu. Would have been better off at a KFC.

Excellent meal last night and helpful friendly staff

Best hospitality experience in a long, long time! Stayed last week, party of four with two dogs for one night. Having stayed in KL quite few times already, it was our first time at this hotel. What a refreshing change!!! All staff Sean, Tom, Sharron and Helen amongst others made you feel instantly at home. All showing great interaction with guests and dogs, very warm welcome. Rooms were great, nice decor, furnishings, comfy bed and bedding, nice bathroom and great ambiance in cosy bar with roaring log fire. Very good food and generous breakfast. Couldnt fault anything and indeed was excellent value for money. Other places we have stayed in KL charge over twice as much, and not as friendly, so they had best buck their game up, this is the place to be! Couldnt be happier and as I said, hospitality is something you can't buy, it is intangible, but rare these days, so full credit to the team. Keep up the good work!!!

Lovely cosy atmosphere. Only had drinks so can't comment on food but will return to sample the menu options.

Mega nice reception and the service was delicious;) If you can overlook the scratches here and there, missing toilet brush, irritating name (Red Dragon), etc. and appreciate the old charm of this house, you're in the right place. Food was good too. Thanks for the great stay.

First time staying at the Red Dragon And we will definitely be staying again. Absolutely gorgeous room. Spotlessly clean. Delicious breakfast which was included Welcoming and friendly staff. The only thing that we didnt like was dogs allowed at the table at breakfast. The barking wasn't relaxing at all Other than that Loved our stay

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at The Red Dragon. If you are looking for somewhere convenient, cosy, atmospheric and where they will look after you well, then this is the place for you. The room was lovely and big, immaculately clean and very nicely presented. The homemade shortbread was a nice and very welcome touch. The location is so convenient, right at the heart of the village, amongst the cute shops, cosy pubs and eateries. We parked the car on the public car park and had no need for it again throughout our stay. We thought it would be convenient to eat where we were staying and there was so much choice on the menu. We really enjoyed our food and the surroundings in the bar/restaurant were lovely. As for the breakfast! Well, we could barely move afterwards. There was everything you could need, especially after a few drinks the night before. The full English was superb and the lady who attended to us was absolutely lovely and couldn't be more attentive. We will definitely be back and would like to express our thanks for a fabulous time!

Fabulous food, extremely friendly staff and lovely rooms in such a great village.

Fantastic place to stay. Right in the heart of all amenities and I can’t say enough about the staff. Very helpful, pleasant and attentive during your stay, especially Sharon who was lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. Nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

Great pub & exceptional breakfast. Staff are very pleasant & accommodating. Would recommend 👌

Nice pub , excellent food and choice with excellent service .didn't stay in rooms as had booked elsewhere but looks great in internet .

Called in yesterday afternoon had a lovely meal and a few pints the staff were friendly and the pub is dog friendly

Fairly friendly, appreciated lighter meal options. Good food.

A choice of 3 Robinson’s cask ales. The Dizzy Blonde Pale Ale was spot on 👍🏻

The two people that were running this pub tonight were outstanding .The food was really good The atmosphere was very chilling could t ask for a better place to be on our last night in Kirby Lonsdale !

Nice and beautiful pub. We stopped here for a pint and enjoy the interior scenery. Very lovely place.

Lovely place Kirkby Lonsdale and lovely traditional pub. Booked in for Sunday lunch. Good walk by the river for our dog and he's welcome in The Red Dragon.

Very nice pub with good food and pleasant staff

My husband, 8 week old daughter and I stopped here for lunch during our visit to Kirkby Lonsdale, but were incredibly disappointed with our experience. Firstly the menu was misleading. We had chosen the hot sandwiches (which the menu stated were served until 4pm at weekends). On ordering at the bar at 13:15 I was informed they weren’t served today, “because it’s a Sunday”… So we re-selected the Soup of the Day and the Sunday roast. We ordered at 13:20. It took them 30 minutes to deliver the bowl of soup, which I had finished eating way before the Sunday roast arrived 52 minutes after ordering! The waiter even said to my husband, “have they forgotten about you?” Interesting comment when he was serving the tables! The quality of the Sunday dinner was distinctly poor to average- with soggy veg, to quote my husband “school dinner beef slices” and the Yorkshire pudding was rock hard. The soup was flavoursome, but had a thick skin on the top. We were at the Red Dragon Inn much longer than we ever intended- and not only did it cost us for the meal- we had to extend our parking!! Unless you want below average food, long wait times and mediocre service- avoid!

Just had the house kebab really nice & filling 👌

Staff superb. Great location. Food 1st Class. Rooms lovely. Beds comfy. Can't fault the place

Lovely place, lovely food, lovely drinks and most importantly lovely people 😊

Came here for a drink last week. Place is gorgeous, staff friendly, just a nice all round place to come

Nice friendly pub, and excellent service from the blonde barmaid

Overpriced microwaved cheap food. £17 for 4 slices of chicken with some chilly jam wiped on it.

Had a wonderful dinner here with great service. Would come again, delightful atmosphere

Just had a lovely weekend at this gorgeous pub...beautiful room, big bed lovely walk in shower and plenty of tea coffee hot chocolate and biscuits....friendly hosts, plenty if breakfast choice and lovely home cooked Sunday lunch. Would highly recommend and will book again when in the area next.

Great place, would recommend to anyone. Hospitality and accommodation fab.

very pleasant mid day meal and pint at the Red Dragon .

Stayed in a deluxe room which was lovely with a huge comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom, great shower over the bath. Had a dinner, b&b deal which was amazing value. Right in the center of lovely Kirkby Lonsdale, everything is right on your doorstep. Staff are very nice, would love to return again.
