To say this is a hotel is a total misrepresentation. It’s a working man’s pub with 2 rooms situated on a busy main road. We checked-in but then didn’t stay for long so we left and stayed elsewhere! Of all the places to stay in the Lake District I’d say this must be one of the worst! Sorry that’s a bit blunt but that’s how I felt and it is not a hotel! 

To call this a hotel is a misrepresentation

This was my second stay at the Punch Bowl. There are two rooms called Helm and Natland. The Natland is the best as it is nearer to the back, lovely views out of the window. A lovely, comfy, homely room, well stocked tea, coffee and the owners always provide lovely biscuits and also a bottle of water for each guest. A nice comfy bed, plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. Extremely clean, walk in shower in the bathroom. Lovely fluffy towels. We had our meals there on both nights, generous portions and empty plates. The apple crumble is delicious. Staff are lovely. Breakfast is a good choice, porridge, yogurts, cooked breakfast including vegetarian. Nothing is too much trouble.The weather wasn't too bad either. Will definitely be back!

Warm and homely.

Absolutely great place to stay. One of the friendliest places we've stayed. Rooms very good and cosy.
Food and pub also excellent. Stayed here on our motorbikes and owners even made room for us to park in the secure area beside the pub, 

Great base for touring the lakes.

We stayed with friends for the first time at the Punch Bowl for the weekend . We were welcomed with open arms by the owners from the word go they could not do enough for us . All the staff were very friendly and obliging, wonderful! The rooms were lovely everything we needed was there , comfy bed and a great shower . The food was magnificent and plenty of it ! In short a fantastic stay ! Thank you all . We will be back !

Great stay

The food is lovely, but make sure you are hungry! The portions are generous and there is plenty of choice. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of ingredients and home cooking.

All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely food, generous portions

Stayed here for 2 nights, ideally located for local attractions. The Punchbowl is not far from the M6 and just a short distance from Kendal. There is an Asda store just before Kendal, in case you forget something for your break. We were staying in the Lake District for a family wedding and staff were fine about us being back late. I would highly recommend a stay at the Punchbowl, Lynn and her staff are great, nothing was too much trouble. We arrived on the Friday and had our evening meal there. Portions are generous, chef did me a salad as I'm fussy and didn't want any of the vegetarian options. My Aunt and cousin also joined us for dinner and they enjoyed their meals as well.  Our room was lovely, very clean, homely and everything that you need. The bed was really comfortable and had a lovely view out of the window. Breakfast is included and you have a choice of juice, cereals, yogurt,cooked breakfast(including vegetarian), also scrambled eggs and salmon, porridge etc. I asked for poached eggs on the last morning which were lovely. The toast was good as well. You are given a warm welcome and a warm goodbye. I have booked again to stay with a friend.

Lovely stay in a lovely place.

Came here after it was recommended by the place we were staying 
After the rave reviews we were expecting it to be amazing 
Staff were friendly and very welcoming to our dog 
The place could do with abit of a spruce up as it's abit dark and dingy
Food was average but portions were big

Needs a revamp

We visited the Punch Bowl last week to celebrate a family birthday occasion 

Staff were very welcoming and pleasant, plenty of choice for food and drink and the food was superb! Portions were brilliant and definitely ‘home cooked’ food. 

Highly recommended.

Well worth a visit and wear your stretchy trousers if you’re eating!

Lovely weekend break.
We stayed here for two nights and had a really lovely time.  From the minute we walked through the door there was such a nice atmosphere. 
Every member of the team was so friendly & welcoming. We ate at the pub both nights & had delicious home cooked meals & the breakfasts were just as good.
We had fantastic nights sleep - immaculate room, comfy bed, nice white bedding & towels , everything was perfect , couldn’t fault anything. 
Would highly recommend & will definitely return. 
Thank you so much x
