The Punch Bowl Inn

We were staying in a local holiday cottage and the owners recommended the "PB". Turns out this was wise. Lovely food well cooked to a high standard. It was an informal atmosphere that made us feel welcome. The restaurant was quiet when we attended, so they put us in the bar area which was lively but not too noisy. If you have been out for a long walk, this is the place to treat yourself. We will be back if we come back to the area.

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.

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.

A real find. Amazing location. Very clean rooms. Quiet location but perfect for exploring Swaledale. Food is hearty and very tasty. Would recommend.

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!
