The Punch Bowl Inn

Low Row

Thank you to the kind staff at the Punch Bowl Inn who looked after us (Dad and two boys) after our car broke down nearby. A delicious meal, offers of a lift back to our holiday house and allowing us to stay in the warmth of the bar until the breakdown truck arrived near midnight. A lovely pub staffed by lovely people!

Thank you for looking after us after our car broke down!

A February midweek break, which found us the only couple staying in the hotel! Overall, despite the lousy weather, we enjoyed our break, though there are one or two points I should mention. Our room (1) was spacious and comfortable, but the lighting was very dim, making it impossible to read after sunset. I set off to look for the advertised Residents Lounge, only to find it no longer exists, and is being converted into another bedroom. Obviously this is a fait-accompli, but I feel is a mistake as it means facilities for guests are the bar, and that's it.
Incidentally, our room was directly above the bar, and some locals certainly made their presence felt. Of course they are perfectly entitled to make some noise. I am just mentioning the fact.
A few more people were in for dinner, which was well presented and served promptly. The menu was varied, as was the wine list. Staff at all times were friendly and courteous. Breakfast was good.
Bedroom keys were on large wooden fobs, and in our case the lock was right up against the door frame, making turning the key extremely difficult. The lack of double glazing meant a very wet, misted window in the mornings.
OK, minor niggles. It's an ideal base for touring the Yorkshire Dales, even on wet, foggy days such as we had. The staff work hard to maintain standards, and we hope they get busier as the year goes on.

Swaledale hospitality

Smashing lunch with friendly, efficient service from charming and helpful staff - we love that the bar welcomes well-behaved dogs, and that we can always rely on the Punch Bowl for great food quality, relaxed atmosphere and good value.  Thank you.

Smashing lunch

The food was lovely. When we saw the bill she had charged up almost £6 for 2 glasses of lime and soda. That's a dash of lime and fizzy water from the dispenser. The bar person was quite rude when we said its normally under a £1. She eventually agreed but said 'it'll probably come out my wages'. Then became very moody. We still spent £25 on 2 baguettes no need to rip people off shame.

Most expensive soda water in the UK (almost)

Probably the best roast beef I’ve ever had! Delicious Sunday lunch in a warm and friendly pub. Sat in the bar with lots of other friendly dog owners. After our fabulous main we enjoyed an amazing sticky toffee pud! That was also the best ever. Loved the pub and the stunning location. Will be back! 

Best roast ever! 

Had a nice one night stop. Arrived in time to have supper which was delicious… good honest food made well and priced fair.  Really nice staff… the bedroom wasn’t amazing but comfy had everything you need.  The breakfast was really good.  Again good local produce cooked well and simply tasted delicious. Think it was the nicest cooked breakfast not home cooked! Would recommend. 

One night stop

Stopped forwarding quick drink half way through our walk...guy behind the bar awful...looked af us with disdain (as we had walking gear on....err hello,  yorkshire_dales  equals walking,), he was also incredibly miserable,  bar area very pretentious, trying to be something it's not, menu looked expensive and ordinary.  Beet not well kept.

Poor experience 

Booked for Birthday surprise, restaurant quieter than usual, Been Regulars for many a year but that doesn't make any difference to the way you get treated or served.  It should have been enough to realise why. From start to finish it was totally disappointing and the service very slow.food cold offered to reheat mine in microwave Really!! 🤔

60th B day letdown

This lovely old inn is in a really good location for activities such as walking, cycling or motor cycling. Most of the items in the breakfast and dinner menu are local high-quality Yorkshire or coastal produce. We like a 'proper' meal with vegetables - so if you do too I can recommend the confit belly pork or similar. The view from the front bedrooms is beautiful. My photo is taken from our window and doesn't do justice to the fabulous view of green hills, dry-stone walls and heather moors.

Another lovely stay

We were originally booked to go to the Farmers Arms in Muker which was closed when we arrived for our table. The Punch Bowl were able to accommodate us and our two dogs last minute and saved our last evening on holiday. We enjoyed a lovely meal with fantastic hospitality from the staff who really go above and beyond to give brilliant service! Wish we’d just booked here in the first place! Would love to come back in the future!
