Plato’s Bar, Restaurant with Rooms
Review
Kirkby Lonsdale has long been one of those historic towns that rewards the curious traveller, and Plato’s Bar, Restaurant with Rooms adds another very good reason to visit this town. Family owned and headed up by Jessica Randall and her family, this is a business with real heart, warmth and quiet sophistication. The rooms are beautifully finished, combining comfort, character and those thoughtful little luxuries that make a stay feel special, from Vi-Spring mattresses to underfloor heating and every modern convenience you’d expect these days. There is a gentle romance to staying here, especially after a day exploring the Lake District, Cumbria or the Yorkshire Dales. Downstairs, the bar and restaurant have built an excellent reputation, and Jessica’s experienced team clearly care about the food they serve and the welcome they give. Plato’s is stylish, relaxed and memorable, making it a perfect base for discovering this remarkable part of England.
