The Devil's Punchbowl Hotel

The property was tired and needs a overhaul. The room was spacious and comfortable and the bed was good. The staff were absolutely brilliant helpful and couldn't do enough for you. Food was lovely both breakfast and dinner. Would recommend it

The staff were really friendly and lovely and the stay was so value for money with breakfast included. The bed was also quite comfy and the room was nice and warm. The decor is a little outdated but that doesn't affect the stay at all. The pub was decent and although we didnt try the food, the menu looked great.

The plus's: Friendly welcome. Plenty of parking. Clean sheets and towels. Large room. Good price. The minus's: Filthy carpet edges and behind furniture, really had not seen a hoover in years. Toilet and toilet brush were disgusting so much so we bought some bleach and cleaned them ourselves. What a pity as it could be great!

We like the convenience when we visit relatives nearby and the friendly staff are a bonus

Great one night stay,value for money.Room was very warm.Staff were very friendly.Breackfast choice was good,we chose Vegan & it was better than we expected.

Very tired and unloved hotel. Obviously not updated for a long time. Mould in the rooms, horrible off smell in the en-suite. Buckets in the hall way to catch the leaks from the roof.

Lovely classic ambience and welcoming staffs, pleasure to stay with them everytime.

Staff are so friendly . Made to.feel so welcome

Unfortunately the property is not suitable for disabled wheel chair users, with no rooms avaiable with wet rooms and grab rails etc. Not happy with the menu selections regarding vegetarian/vegan meals. Only 2 main meals available, in this catorgory, so if you stay for 3 or more nights you don't have any further choices. Breakfast choice is even worse, with no cereals, fruit juices or croissants etc. available.

Very nice atmosphere and very friendly staff

Great staff, great value

The room was in poor condition. Needs redecorating. Cleaning wasn't at a good standard. We would not stay here again and neither would we reccomend it to others. Have photos but I was unable to upload them on this site.

needs updating. Water streaming down my bedroom windows.

Rooms rather tired. Restaurant very smart & food good. Good staff.

The members of staff were professional and friendly. The visit was organised well and efficiently.

The hotel is very old and somewhat run down, desperately needs some investment in the rooms. The main parts of the hotel were OK and the bar area recently refurbished. You pay for what you get and it was cheap so didn't really expect too much but the room was very musty to the point of unpleasant and I had to wash all my clothes after returning home. The breakfast was actually very good which was a plus point

Quaint old school hotel, a little tired decor but clean and quiet. Staff were fantastic and the breakfast was excellent and good value too.

Some staff friendlier than others. Room was clean but needs TLC. Bed was comfortable. Some items of furniture broken. No toiletries in bathroom. Only handsoap. Breakfast very limited. Bad coffee and not much food.

Whilst reception staff were friendly when checking in & cooked breakfast was nice, the rooms were in dire need of refurbishment - well the entire building is! The floors creaked to a point it made you feel awkward moving around for fear of people below, the windows were disguating, mould/rust & masking tape around glass. Marks all over room walls. Filthy carpets covered in stains. They charge for a breakfast buffet - but there is no cereal/fruit or pastries only a coffee/tea & water station. The cooked breakfast was nice & cooked to order, BUT when we asked for orange juice this came from the bar & although we’d paid for breakfast in our room rate, we then got charged £2.40 per glass of watered-down orange juice! Staff informed us this was to reduce costs… shocking service!

I’ve stayed here numerous times and all the staff are lovely and friendly.
