That we couldn't stay longer

excellent location, friendly staff, great food and very comfortable room.

The only thing, and it is really nit-picking, there were a few cobwebs on the ceiling in the bedroom, but it is an old, country accommodation so bound to happen.

Lovely traditional county pub accommodation. I booked the Punchbowl for it's close proximity to Askhall Hall where I was attending a wedding, it was perfect, so close. The staff could not have been more accommodating, all friendly and professional, and no request was too much. Had a meal in the pub on our first evening and breakfast for 2 mornings, all were very tasty, flavoursome and served well.

Clean, cosy, staff polite and tentative, food in the pub seriously good. Room was just big enough for a couple, clean and fresh, bathroom fairly new to a high standard and all the basics covered with hairdryer, kettle, teas & coffee. Breakfast covered all bases and was delish. Overall great value for money in a great location, closer to both Penrith and Ullswater than first thought. Sure to return!!

The room was newly painted and the smell was a little overpowering. Wish they accepted dogs.

From the moment we arrived, Johnny welcomed us and helped us settle in. The room was great, clean and very comfortable. We had a meal downstairs in the pub, which was terrific and a lovely walk around the village and the area. It was an overnight stay on a long trip and just perfect.

Liked it all.

Warm welcome. Suitcase carried to my room. Internet details given straight away. Ate there twice during the weekend by the lovely cosy fireplace. The location is wonderful and convenient for the lake nearby. Breakfast was great - service was very friendly.

We had a very comfortable room with a good shower and a lovely view. The bed was large and comfortable. The food was very good with the evening meal (stilton & broccoli soup and cheese and onion pie) being particulary delicious. The staff were helpful and friendly and the breakfast tasty and freshly cooked to order. The Punchbowl is an old inn and very picturesque, located in the pretty village of Askham.

The view from our bedroom window wasn't great lots of junk laying around outside.

Breakfast was fantastic. Great quality. I would like to see thicker toast.

Nothing bad to say

Excellent friendly staff. Lovely character building

Bed. Comfy and clean as it was. We both felt the bed had a tendency to roll outwards making us sleep on a slope. This was rectified by sleeping central in the bed. Breakfast was ok. Full English was exactly what was expected. Bacon was dry and overcooked. Morning staff not as friendly as the previous evening staff.

Location and old English Evening meal was to die for. Can recommend the fish and chips plus the burger. Host Jonny was amazing. Very helpful. Evening staff much better than morning staff.
