The Punchbowl Hotel

Family run establishment in a rural location, and nothing is too much trouble for staff there. Our room was spotless and very comfortable, and the food was very well presented and cooked. Very laid back atmosphere, and nice to have a chat with the family who own and run the premises. The Punch Bowl is very highly recommended, for those who appreciate genuine hospitality and friendly service. Something that is a rare find these days.

My wife and I stayed for our annual visit to Kendal with our friends . The food is excellent, well cooked and presented at reasonable prices , with a good selection of. Well stocked bar , comfortable rooms with everything that is required . Above all are the excellent staff , who bend over backwards to be helpful, they work tirelessly to make your stay pleasant and comfortable. All in all a fantastic weekend, thank you !

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!

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,

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 !

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.
