Plato’s is set in the heart of Kirkby Lonsdale - once discovered never forgotten. On the edge of the Lake District, are the Dales and The Forest of Bowland. A pretty little market town set in the Lune Valley with wonderful walking, stunning views, and really good shopping. As a boutique hotel, we understand that one of the joys of going away is to have a touch more luxury than you do at home. So that is why in our higgledy-piggledy old building, we have made sure that every room is unique. The only thing that is standard is comfort - the ultra-luxury Vi-Spring beds, the crisp cotton linen, the stacks of fluffy white towels, the state-of-the-art flatscreen TVs, the luxurious en suite bathrooms some with baths and others with rainfall showers, gorgeous local Bath House toiletries. All prices are per room per night and include our sumptuous breakfast which is served until 10 am so you really can have a lazy lie-in (and check out on the day of departure is 11 am). We are so excited to launch our new menus and be the first wine bar in Kirkby Lonsdale to embrace the vibe of social dining. Whilst sitting in a relaxed atmosphere, Plato’s will be offering sharing boards and smaller plates, featuring the absolute best in locally sourced charcuterie, cheese, breads, vegetarian options, and desserts to die for! These will be served alongside fine wines, our famous cocktail menu, local draught, and craft beers, and an excellent selection of quality spirits.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Just returned from another fabulous weekend at Plato's in wonderful Kirkby Lonsdale. The new owners, Tony and Jess have, in our experience, elevated the hotel since taking over and the experience was again, wonderful. They have a great team supporting them and we were made to feel super-welcomed. Food is excellent, rooms and beds are outstanding and we cant wait to get back down again.

Staff very helpful. Room lovely warm and cosy with the bed being extremely comfortable. Bathroom was excellent with luxury toiletries. They have a real fire stove in the var area for added atmosphere on a chilly evening while enjoying a drink.

First visit to Platos since the business changed ownership. Having stayed at Platos for a number of years previously we were,nt sure what to expect. We have to say that we have not been disappointed as whilst there maybe new owners we had an excellent stay. Everyone made us feel welcome (both old and new). New menus have something for every taste and the addition of a change in menu for Friday/Saturday evening was something special, not to be missed. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay, keep it up. We shall return.

Went for dinner last night as highly recommended- it was dreadful - cold , lacking attention to detail, very limited menu . My starter prawn , avocado & watermelon cocktail was covered in peashoots was very average . Husbands French onion soup was poor tasted of instant gravy with some onions piece of French bread with melted cheese on not good at all . The bottle of wine ordered didn’t arrive at all . Main course arrived chateau Briand with all the trimmings An oval dish of random bits of meat which had been individually griddled , cold tomato , mushroom , Bernaise sauce & cold chips peppercorn sauce with hard whole peppercorns in it , covered in pea shoots - had to ask for condiments vinegar bottle was still sealed ! We took 1 mouthful of the food and asked the waitress to take it away as nothing like any chateau Briand we’ve ever had anywhere in the world and it was all cold . The chef appeared said he couldn’t serve it the traditional way as didn’t have the staff available so he oven cooked it then sliced it and flashed griddled it - I told him it shouldn’t be on the menu then - he said it’s very popular and has never had a complaint before - this I believe is untrue . He actually told us that the chips weren’t cold - we left paid for the starters only - thinking of contacting trading standards .

Arrived without booking, the manager was very happy to help. We were given two separate rooms, both of which were of an impressive size, both rooms were well provisioned, plato's is situated right in the town centre, so close to many shops and amenities. We didn't have the evening meal, but the restaurant was very busy, the breakfast was awesome with a variety of choice. The staff were all very friendly and efficient, would definitely recommend a visit.

We had an excellent one night stay at Plato's. The room was a good size, clean, well furnished, very comfortable bed with good facilities. The food in the restaurant was of a high standard both for dinner and breakfast. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and very professional about their work. We are booked for a celebration meal later in the year with a group of friends and are looking forward to another enjoyable stay and a wonderful evening.
