We booked 4 nights only stayed 2 nights. Our room at the front of the Inn it was small shabby and the carpet had numerous stains the room was in need of an upgrade. It was ubove the bar which we expected some noise untill midnight not untill 3am my be we were unlucky but never again

We visited the Snooty Fox Tavern this weekend and couldnt believe how busy it was, we were still able to get served very quickly and managed to get a table(nearly all were taken) both the beer and the food were excellent and we were all looked after very well by the well mannered staff. We will certainly be visiting again

We had been tempted to eat at an alternative pub in KL as there was an offer on the price of the steak meals but decided to try our base (Snooty Fox) instead...what a brilliant decision, 6 excellent meals, superb service and a night of good humoured banter with the friendly staff. The building is aged and therefore do not expect modern surroundings but instead enjoy the authentic character of the place. No problem with cleanliness, although I did mention a problem with the shower in my room and within 10 minutes or so I was offered a change of room which I accepted. The alternative room was totally adequate, my problem solved and confirmation from the owners they are in progress to sort out the other room. Breakfast gave a choice of juices, choices of cereals and option of full English breakfast or any parts thereof, very nice. I would recommend the place but go expecting a country tavern not a five star hotel. I had to leave the second day at short notice around tea time and just to add a touch of their fairness, they refused to take payment for the room and breakfast despite it being booked for a few months and it being highly unlikely that they would be able to let it again for that night...yes if in the area I would stay again.

On the 9th of September we, my walking pal and I, walked The Limestone Link (Arnside to Kirby Lonsdale). The walk was great and we needed replenishment on reaching Kirby Lonsdale. We are, and are known as, The Four Season Quaffers’ Walking Club. A unique and discerning brotherhood who enjoy ale and food of the finest quality and aren’t afraid of prices as long as the said ale and food are at their best.
We arrived in the centre of Kirby Lonsdale at 15:45, tried an ale in The Red Dragon and then moved for a beer to The Snooty Fox. We were greeted warmly and we ordered two pints of Timothy Taylor Landlord; as it was being pulled it looked indifferent in the foaming; the head didn’t stay and the smell was musty, which a sip proved! The taste was metallic and it drew our mouths’. The beer cost £6.20 and it was a complete waste! We put the un-drunk beers on the bar and left. I know that we should have complained, but we needed to find our B&B and freshen-up, so we voted with our feet and we won’t be returning. If you’re a real ale fancier I would certainly recommend that you give this a miss and try The Orange Tree, The Red Dragon or The Sun, all have excellently presented and quaffable ales and at cheaper prices!
We left Kirby Lonsdale on the morning of the 10th of September and took the bus to Lancaster whence a local man sat beside us and having held a conversation with him, telling him that we tried a ‘certain establishment’ without giving-away the name of the offending pub, he immediately said “oh, you mean The Snooty Fox do you?’ It’s known for its poor ales, the locals don’t drink there so that tells you something?” Unquote! Traveller beware!!
