The Punch Bowl Inn

We live fairly locally and gave passed the Punchbowl a few times but never stopped which was a mistake. Lovely venue, great staff and fabulous lunch (great chips!) Friends have also suggested we go back for Sunday lunch which we will. Amazing views of the Dale

Enjoyed a lovely meal and drink here. Friendly, helpful staff. The Smoked Salmon and Salmon fishcakes I can recommend although it was hard to choose from a very good menu. Lovely views to look at while dining. Well worth a visit. Did book a table Will be visiting again when on hols

Delicious food, friendly service. I had the pork chop with black pudding, mash and burnt apple puree. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Everyone on our table agreed the food was beautiful and well presented. Would visit again next time I’m in the local area.

We had the pleasure of a wonderful meal at this establishment. The food was first class, the service exemplary and the cost reasonable. From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and any requests we had were met with a smile inspite of being busy. Well done and thank you to the staff. We highly recommend

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.

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.
