Nestled between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, Ingleton Falls and the Trough of Bowland are also within easy access of Kirkby Lonsdale. The boutique Sun Inn in the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale combines the character and charm of a 17th century inn and AA two rosette restaurant with the luxury of contemporary, modern hotel accommodation. Stay in one of the Sun Inn’s eleven luxurious hotel bedrooms on a bed and breakfast basis (and see why we’ve been given an AA Breakfast Award 2015) or enjoy further foodie treats with dinner during your stay in Kirkby Lonsdale. The restaurant at the Sun Inn is featured as a ‘local gem’ in the 2015 Good Food Guide and offers a selection of light snacks, lunches and dinners, as well as ‘Posh Noshers’ wine tastings and gourmet foodie breaks. Locally sourced food and award winning sausages from our own Kirkby Lonsdale butcher make a fantastic breakfast. Meanwhile, real ales and roaring log fires in those colder months, will welcome you in the Sun Inn’s traditional bar area. Just behind the Sun Inn’s boutique B&B in Kirkby Lonsdale is St Marys Churchyard, with the original sun dial which inspired the inn’s name. Guests can also meander down to the River Lune to enjoy Ruskin’s View, immortalised by the painter JMW Turner, during an overnight stay at this Cumbrian beauty spot. So whether you are just looking for a place to eat, or want a luxury short break close to Ingleton, North Yorkshire and the Lake District, then the Sun Inn at Kirkby Lonsdale can accommodate your needs with boutique hotel rooms, award-winning breakfasts and evening meals, and a warm, personal service. We even have luxury dog-friendly bedrooms too.

🏚️ Over 300 years of welcome — and we're just getting started.

The Sun Inn has been part of Kirkby Lonsdale since the 17th century. The beams, the flagstone floors, the roaring fire — none of it is for show. This is a place that has genuinely stood the test of time, and we like to think you feel that the moment you walk through the door.

Come and experience it for yourself.

🎄 Christmas in Kirkby Lonsdale. Book it before someone else does.

There is nowhere quite like Kirkby Lonsdale at Christmas. The town takes on a magic all of its own — and the Sun Inn, with its roaring fire, festive atmosphere and the warmth of a 17th century inn, is the most wonderful place to be at the most wonderful time of year.

Whether you're planning a festive escape for two, a family celebration or a special Christmas treat — our rooms book up fast at this time of year. Don't leave it until it's too late.

🗺️ A day in Kirkby Lonsdale — here's how we'd spend it.

Start with a leisurely breakfast at the Sun Inn, then head out and explore one of England's finest market towns. Cross Devil's Bridge, take the Radical Steps down to the River Lune and follow the path up to Ruskin's View — recently reopened and as breathtaking as ever.

Wander back through the historic streets, browse the independent shops and stop for a coffee in the Market Square. Then when the afternoon starts to fade, come back to us for a Two AA Rosette dinner and a nightcap by the fire. 🔥

A perfect day — and it's all within walking distance of your room. 🌿

🔥 As the autumn air starts to bite, there's nowhere better to be than curled up by the fire at the Sun Inn with something warm in hand.

Let the outside world fade away — no rush, no agenda, just the crackle of the fire, great company and a drink that hits the spot. And when you're ready, a beautifully comfortable room is waiting upstairs to complete the evening perfectly. 🌿

Autumn stays are some of our favourites. We'd love to welcome you.

One of the most iconic landmarks in the north of England — and it's just a short stroll from our front door.

Devil's Bridge in Kirkby Lonsdale is one of those places that stops you in your tracks. A stunning mediaeval bridge spanning the River Lune, believed to date back to the 12th century — and the legend behind its name is just as dramatic as its setting.

The story goes that the Devil himself built the bridge overnight in exchange for the soul of the first living creature to cross it. A clever local woman outsmarted him by sending her dog across first. The Devil, outwitted, disappeared — and the bridge has stood ever since. 😈🐕

Come and see it for yourself. It's one of those spots you'll want to photograph from every angle. And when you're done, you know where to find us. 🌿
