Housekeeper, The Royal Hotel

**The Royal Hotel, part of James' Places have a Housekeeper vacancy**

The Royal Hotel, located in the town of Kirkby Lonsdale, was originally a large house called Jackson Hall. The Georgian town-house became the Rose and Crown after the inn next door of the same name burnt to the ground in 1820, whereupon the hall’s extensive gardens subsequently became the new marketplace. After a visit by Queen Adelaide in 1847, it was renamed The Royal Hotel. Now a Grade II listed building, the Royal Hotel was bought by Bowland Inns & Hotels in 2009 and now operates as a pub with 14 bedrooms.
