The Punch Bowl Inn - Inn in Cumbria
Crosthwaite, Kendal, LA8 8HR, Cumbria
England,
Reino Unido
This gorgeous inn is hard to beat. You're in the hills above Windermere in a pretty village encircled by lanes that defeat most tourists. It's deeply rural with ten-mile views down the valley and a church next door; there’s a bench to drink in the view, bell ringers practise on Friday mornings, the occasional bride glides out in summer. As for the Punch Bowl, it was rescued from neglect, renovated beautifully, and now sparkles, a mix of old and new.
Outside, honeysuckle and roses ramble on stone walls. Inside, rustic elegance runs throughout: Farrow & Ball colours, rugs on wood floors, sofas in front of the wood-burner. Innovative menus in modern British/French style have won many awards and the wine list is plentiful. Bedrooms sport beautiful linen, pretty fabrics and Roberts radios. Excellent bathrooms have double-ended baths, separate showers and white robes.
Wake to hearty breakfasts before you set off on bracing walks.

Claudio Onofrei:
- Originally dating back to 1829 when it was used as a blacksmith's shop, the Punch Bowl has been extensively refurbished and today offers a unique, relaxing blend of old charm and modern comforts.
- Set in the peaceful village of Crosthwaite, The Punch Bowl has plenty of picturesque walks on its doorstep and stunning views around the Lyth Valley. We're also just a 15-minute drive away from Lake Windemere.
- Must-do walks include Gummer’s Howe and Scout’s Scar for amazing views, High Dam for its wild swimming tarn and The Fairfield Horseshoe, probably the best Wainwright.
- For even sportier types, there’s Fellfoot Watersports, Grizedale Forest Mountain Biking and Windermere Golf Club.
- For those with a more relaxed attitude, there’s Blackwell Arts & Crafts House, Windermere Jetty Museum and Sizergh Castle & Gardens.
- For stunning journeys try Haverthwaite steam train combined with a lake cruise, or the A591 drive to Keswick which was voted England’s most scenic road.
