The punchbowl hotel is set in Kendal, 31 km from Trough of Bowland, 44 km from Askham Hall, as well as 7.9 km from Kendal Castle. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the bed and breakfast free of charge. The property is non-smoking and is situated 22 km from World of Beatrix Potter.

This home away from home was my hub for a series of photo expeditions into the Lake District. It is a beautifully situated family-run pub with two comfortable guest rooms upstairs (great bedding!) located a walkable couple miles outside of the town of Kendal. The warm atmosphere, friendly staff & local clientele, and great food & drink made the pub itself a delightful common space to hang out in when not sleeping or exploring the area. When I saw this listing on Booking.com, I sensed this would be a uniquely memorable lodging experience. In fact it was everything I had hoped for... and more, including a short but rewarding hike up a lovely viewpoint called "The Helm" (see attached photo) that starts right across the street. I'd recommend it heartily to anyone visiting the Lake District!

    The staff were so friendly, we felt very welcome and at ease. They were always happy to help. The location is convenient (south or northbound), and for a little extra you can overlook the lake and surrounding countryside. Quiet place. Nice clean (although slightly damp) bedding and fresh towels. It was very cheap, so good on a budget.
