The room was clean with a lovely bathroom, no complaints there. The breakfast was good with a good choice, our only complaint was the evening menu, we were expecting good home cooked Yorkshire food but the food was too high end for us.

The hotel was out in the countryside with excellent views over the moors. It was very clean and well cared for. Car parking was good. The room size, bed size, etc was great. One small problem - the room lighting was not very bright during the night time. The food was excellent and the staff were great. It was also a great place for walkers with great access to the countryside. I would recommend it.

The Punch Bowl Inn

The Punchbowl Inn was a lovely pub to stay at, the staff were very friendly, the food was amazing. The room was lovely and had a fantastic view of the dales. If I had to be picky it would have been nice to have a shower curtain or screen over the bath as using the shower head I tended to flood the floor, but the water was lovely and hot. and I would return again.

I personally wouldn’t rate it as 4* accommodation. Food average, room clean but sparse and tired. Lounge area in bar very small and basically non existent and uninviting.

Amazing location. Clean and friendly.

Amazing location. Clean and comfy room. Fridge on landing where we could keep fresh dog food and milk, they can be noisy in the room so great idea. Needs to update to a decent coffee machine if the sign outside says ‘coffee house’. Only filter served and not very nice. Some really lovely, friendly staff. Would definitely come back. 9/10

Excellent place to stay for a walking break

My wife and I found the Punch Bowl a great place to stay for our walking break. Very well located for our planned walks. Food for each of our 3 nights was first class and breakfasts set us up for the day, Staff were all good and we found Lesley in particular charming with nothing too much trouble.

Welcoming Inn

Every member of staff we met was professional and friendly. The room was lovely, powerful shower with plenty of hot water. The bed was comfortable and the room was warm despite not having double glazing. The food was top class, we had the fish pie which was full of chunks of fish and served with mussels, king prawns and samphire on the side and the smoked loin of bacon was also delicious and served with home made chips and home made chutney. Breakfast was well cooked and served on hot plates with local ingredients. All in all thoroughly recommended and will stay again.

Perfect

A last-minute to stay after a tiring day and ahead of a long journey, so we just wanted comfort, and an old fashioned pie and a pint. And we got it. A very friendly welcome, a relaxed atmosphere, a great range of local beers in good condition and a spot on menu of traditional and modern food. The pie was baked to order and was exceptional. Add in a great breakfast including locally produced sausage etc and the freshest Yorkshire Dale air. We left properly refreshed, which is exactly what an Inn should provide.

Sort yourselves out HOTELS.COM

It was OK. A few finishing touches to justify the price would be nice - e.g. biscuits in the room. Although access to fresh milk for the room was good.

Most annoying though is that having pre paid Hotels.com for the room - why am IALWAYS presented with a bill for the accommodation1?. This time the hotel told me credit card had been declined by Hotels.com....EVEN THOUGH I HAD PROOF OF PAYMENT WITH A RECEIPT FROM THEM. Thought I was going to have to pay again. Sort yourselves out HOTELS.COM !
