I arrived in the dark, never having been here before. The rain was lashing down and a few cars parked outside. A lack of signs as no obvious entrance. Down many steps and was told the car park and entrance is round the back - no sign, no lights. Once in, its quite delightful and pleasant staff. The room was... More

Thank you to all at The Punchbowl for everything you did to make my son's wedding so enjoyable. The attention to detail was amazing. The service was slick and professional throughout.

My Husband and I managed 2 nights away this Easter as a couple thanks to kind parents and we chose the Punch Bowl. Our expectations were high and we are very picky but we were not at all disappointed. From the moment we arrived we felt totally looked after by the fantastically efficient and friendly staff. The food was outstanding... More

My wife and I stayed at the Punch Bowl Inn for our Wedding Anniversary. From the moment we arrived our stay was excellent. We had one of the smaller rooms at the Inn but, it was still beautifully finished and relaxing. My wife enjoys a bath and the one in our bathroom was amazing! We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea...

We have stayed at the punch bowl twice and we have had an amazing stay on both occasions. The rooms are beautifully decorated, most with fantastic views. We ate in the restaurant every night. Thought the food was delicious. Only grumble was that the menu didn't change so by our third night we felt like we were eating the same... More

We had dined here in late 2011 and promised ourselves we would return and stay overnight. We were pleased to see a good room rate on Laterooms.com and the booking process was very efficient followed by a more personal confirmation email from the Puchbowl at which point we also reserved a table for dinner. The Inn is located in a... More
