パンチ ボウル イン(The Punchbowl Inn)

This is a lovely traditional pub with lots of nooks and crannies with a warming log burner. There is also a separate restaurant area. The staff here were all really welcoming and attentive which made for a lovely experience for my mum who doesn't go out often. The food was also very good with a wide range of choices. We enjoyed it so much that we've booked for a larger group next month. Definitely recommend this place. Warm and homely in the winter and then loads of out door seats for the summer months.

Wonderful hospitality on a rainy day. We arrived rather wet and were greeted with kindness and thoughtfulness. Despite the pub being very busy on a Sunday afternoon and only wanting a snack we were treated with the utmost courtesy thank you

Superb staff and food rooms comfy and modern. Had a really good night's sleep. Shower and bathroom exceptionally clean and modern. Staff friendly, helpful. Lovely ares

Unfortunately not what it used to be. Along with most places, the food choice is much more limited and much more pricey than what we remember! I understand the reasons (Brexit, cost of living crisis, difficulty of getting staff), but it's such a shame when you look forward to returning to a pub that used to be one of your favourites to find a pretty mediocre choice of food. Also the black chairs in the garden are a health hazard and collapse very easily. Stick to the benches if you want to retain your dignity!

Haven't been here for a while, and was pleased to say it was just as warm and friendly as we remembered it. Food was excellent, beer was a delight, and we were well looked after, despite our two youngsters (7 & 4) causing chaos at times ;-)

My wife and I visited for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was excellent and good portion size. The two staff members were very helpful but a bit dis-organized. I would very much recommend the prawn starter the sauce was amazing. I also enjoyed a tasty local blonde beer (Ullswater blonde)

Beautiful little Inn within a picturesque village. No phone signal, just a lovely quiet weekend for me and my partner! It was lovely and just what we needed! Staff couldn’t do enough for you. Good food, service, advice and location! Thank you!

Stayed one night here for dinner and breakfast...what can I say ..the food was exceptional, in a nice and relaxing atmosphere, had lobster ravioli, fillet steak(don't spoil it by asking for an additional sauce) and creme brulee, all 3 was probably up their with the best I've ever had, sat for a few relaxing drinks in front of a fire afterwards, The hotel itself, is set in a very peaceful remote setting, staff are fantastic, room was lovely, with a shower and a roll top bath, rooms spotless , bed lovely and comfortable, will definitely return

Wonderful welcome, very friendly and efficient staff. Our room was delightful with rustic beams comfortable bed and stylish free standing bath in a separate bath/shower room. Nice to see that it is still a lively pub with regular visitors, this adds to a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere. Of course the piece de resistance is the food which was on point, delicate flavourful, perfectly cooked, an imaginative menu without being too outre. There is a generous menu of wine by the glass plus reasonably priced botttles, alongside a more sophisticated listing. Would definitely recommend and will return. Thank you Punch Bowl!
