The Punchbowl Inn - Askham (Cumbria)

The English breakfast offered plenty of dishes. The staff was EFFICIENT, the room was compact and light.

The breakfast was great; bangers and bacon.

No complains at all, the venue met what was needed, recommend it. Our stay here was fabulous, perfect place for exploring Askham. The location of the hotel was incredible, in beautiful surroundings. Most staff were obliging, impressive rooms. The food was well presented, with plenty of options.

The room was comfy, but the noisy pool table disturbed our sleep.

It was just a strong match for a lightning trip in Askham (Cumbria) with good value for money. Staff welcomed us warmly when we arrived, made us feel at home. Be sure to explore the beautiful rural surroundings away from tourist traps.

great stay but needs some updates

The beautiful double room offered a splendid view and was spacious. Our evening meal featured standout dishes like stilton & broccoli soup, superbly crafted.

The decor felt a bit dated.

While it felt spacious and generally clean, there were neglected corners that could use more thorough cleaning attention. The bathroom's extraction fans didn't quite do their job, leading to a slightly off-putting experience. I had a lovely view of some chickens in the garden, but it was overshadowed by the unkempt appearance that needed weeding, which detracted from the overall charm.

Charming place in a quiet village

The village is just beautiful and super chill. Staff were really friendly, just like in the reviews. Dinner in the bar area was spot on, the food's always awesome. Only thing is parking can get tight when it's busy. We'll be back for sure!

A prime choice for a short stint in Askham with really good value. The newly decorated rooms were very comfortable and pleasant. Book early for the best room rates.

easy walking to parks and historical sites around askham

I loved the quick access to the nearby Askham Hall Gardens and Cafe, just a few steps away, and enjoyed a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout my visit, made my city strolls even more pleasant.

The Punchbowl Inn exudes a charming ambiance, with its beautifully decorated common areas and cozy nooks that make it easy for seniors to relax and socialize. The staff's warm hospitality.

More variety in light meal options would be nice.

The room was super comfy with a huge, cozy bed. Plenty of space and the en-suite was really excellent. The decor feels fresh and cute, even better. Loved how everything was clean and well-kept.

would consider staying here again

The room was super comfy, with a nice tv and a private bathroom that had free toiletries and a hairdryer. Staff were really friendly. The dining options were excellent too, especially the freshly made breakfast with quality sausages and bacon. Amazing location near beautiful walks around Lowther Castle.

Stayed one night at the punchbowl, and it was a good experience! The staff were super friendly and cute. The room was comfy, and I loved the great breakfast. It's close to the lakes without being in the chaos. Just a perfect spot!

Really good hospitality and cozy accommodation

I recently spent a night in a Standard Twin Room and was thoroughly impressed by the cute staff who made sure I felt right at home. The breakfast served was both generous and delicious, a true highlight of my stay, fueling me for a day of exploring the nearby Lake District. The setup of the room above the bar gave a charming ambiance, and although the bar noise faded early, it added to the cozy atmosphere. The only downside was the lack of an evening meal option during my late arrival. An advance notice of dining hours would be helpful.
