This little country pub with rooms (and restaurant) is well worth a visit. Whether you require overnight accommodation or just and meal and/or a drink you cannot go wrong. Log fires, local real ales, and locally sourced fresh homemade food are all excellent, served up by friendly landlord/lady and their staff. There is an ‘every day’ menu supplemented by a... More

A group of 4 of us went for lunch at The Punch Bowl Inn. One of our friends said that the curried parsnip soup was THE best he'd ever had. The portion sizes were generous, the staff friendly and the restaurant was clean and cosy. We definitely visit there again. More

Situated in a village on the side of the pennines. Beamish museum 30 minutes drive. Blanchland 10 minutes. Beautiful drives and miniature railway and Hadrians Wall all close by.

We did not stay over as it was a bit out of our budget but the food was fantastic More

Whether you stay here or not, you HAVE to come here at least once just for the food! The setting is really nice and the food is absolutely perfect!
