Inspector comments
"18th-century former farmhouse in a beautiful village setting"
Overview
An idyllic Lakeland village is the setting for The Punchbowl Inn, which retains much of its original character, with low oak beams and stone floors. The restaurant to the rear is more contemporary but just as comfortable. Food is locally sourced and hearty breakfasts provide a good start to the day.

About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills.
