Secretly Famous™ for…

Our Noble Room, which takes the whole third floor, with super king size bed, feature lighting, a huge bathroom with twin roll top baths and stunning views across the Lyth Valley.

The Punch Bowl Inn nestles snugly ‘amongst the Damsons’, in the delightfully unspoilt Lyth Valley at Crosthwaite. With the village church right next door, the rural charm of bell ringing and bell song, combined with uninterrupted views down the valley, make this a stunning location.

The nine bedrooms are individually decorated with scrumptious soft furnishings, Roberts Revival radios, flat screen televisions, wireless internet access and smart bathrooms with free standing roll top baths and feature lighting.

The restaurant is light and airy and the bar in warm and friendly, with a stunning Brathay slate bar top, antique furniture and pen fires. Chalkboards reveal the seasonal menu, wines, Champagnes and foreign draught and bottled beers, alongside a range of local hand pulled real ales.

Whatever you are looking for, good food, luxurious rooms, peace and relaxation or good walking territory, The Punch Bowl, Crosthwaite is worth a visit.

Gain access to a variety of treats and discounts with our Secret Stamps… they're worth a great deal!

Unlike a card scheme, we’re not trying to capture your data – we’re trying to captivate you! Our stamps don’t expire, so you’ll have plenty of time to savour the special offers which reflect the unique collection of places featured on the site… champers on ice, midnight feast hampers and free bags of calf feed to name a few!

You decide what it’s worth! After our small admin fee of £5, every penny goes to a charity of your choice; something close to your heart. We'll then share Classified Inspiration about your charity with our online communities on Facebook and Twitter, giving much needed exposure to great causes throughout the UK. It’s up to you!
