What a stunning location! The rooms and service are excellent and we had a great stay. The food was generous and tasty. I'd certainly recommend The Punch Bowl as an ideal location to explore Swaledale.

The Punch Bowl Inn

The Punchbowl Inn was a lovely pub to stay at, the staff were very friendly, the food was amazing. The room was lovely and had a fantastic view of the dales. If I had to be picky it would have been nice to have a shower curtain or screen over the bath as using the shower head I tended to flood the floor, but the water was lovely and hot. and I would return again.

Great Inn with fantastic food.

Great Hotel and loved the stay there. Fantastic food and a great location. Room 1 in which we stayed was however directly above the bar. It was possible to hear everything, and it was only possible to sleep once the bar closed.

A great place to stay!

We had a great time. The staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient throughout our stay. The room was warm and comfortable with a really great shower and the food was excellent. This was our second visit and it won't be the last!

Excellent place to stay for a walking break

My wife and I found the Punch Bowl a great place to stay for our walking break. Very well located for our planned walks. Food for each of our 3 nights was first class and breakfasts set us up for the day, Staff were all good and we found Lesley in particular charming with nothing too much trouble.

I personally wouldn’t rate it as 4* accommodation. Food average, room clean but sparse and tired. Lounge area in bar very small and basically non existent and uninviting.

Amazing location. Clean and friendly.

Amazing location. Clean and comfy room. Fridge on landing where we could keep fresh dog food and milk, they can be noisy in the room so great idea. Needs to update to a decent coffee machine if the sign outside says ‘coffee house’. Only filter served and not very nice. Some really lovely, friendly staff. Would definitely come back. 9/10

Welcoming Inn

Every member of staff we met was professional and friendly. The room was lovely, powerful shower with plenty of hot water. The bed was comfortable and the room was warm despite not having double glazing. The food was top class, we had the fish pie which was full of chunks of fish and served with mussels, king prawns and samphire on the side and the smoked loin of bacon was also delicious and served with home made chips and home made chutney. Breakfast was well cooked and served on hot plates with local ingredients. All in all thoroughly recommended and will stay again.

Perfect

A last-minute to stay after a tiring day and ahead of a long journey, so we just wanted comfort, and an old fashioned pie and a pint. And we got it. A very friendly welcome, a relaxed atmosphere, a great range of local beers in good condition and a spot on menu of traditional and modern food. The pie was baked to order and was exceptional. Add in a great breakfast including locally produced sausage etc and the freshest Yorkshire Dale air. We left properly refreshed, which is exactly what an Inn should provide.
