Punch Bowl Hotel

Tyckte om: It was close to landmarks we wanted to visit

Tyckte inte om: Toilets and shower was disgusting so glad we had our own porta loo.

Tyckte om: Absolutely nothing

Tyckte inte om: Camp site like a Building site, rubbish piled high, owners rude, toilets never flush, cold shower only, sink facility is an old toilet, whole place run down and in need of lots of TLC. Whole place was like a junk yard, dogs are dangerous almost took my child’s face off, just an unreal experience, we left the site on day 2 after booking for 7 nights… pictures looked amazing on pitch up but upon arriving it was our worst nightmare, we pitched we tried but it was not enjoyable in any way.. would not recommended

Tyckte om: Good location to get to both the Yorkshire dales and north west coast at the likes of Morecambe

Tyckte inte om: Wasn’t expecting much but was expecting the facilities to at least be clean however they were very poor, leaking toilets with mushrooms growing in them, no clear indication of which tap has drinking water available from it and piles upon piles of waste in certain spots on site. Felt like anyone could have pitched a tent without needing to check in. No sign of the owners on site or on the phone number available for the site.

Tyckte om: Plenty space to pitch up. Nice walks around. Not far from caves and pubs and cafes.

Tyckte inte om: Facilities disgusting- no light- bodily excretion everywhere absolutely stunk off wee- didn’t see the owners once nor did they answer the phone. No check in. No welcome no direction. Don’t know why we paid. Camp was quite loud and right next to a train line which was not mentioned.

Tyckte om: Couldn't attend

Tyckte inte om: We were due to stay here on the 18th August, 2 of us in a tent and my parents in the site's caravan but the caravan was allegedly broken by the family staying in previously. We were only made aware of this when we called the punch bowl with an enquiry, they never bothered to contact us so had we not have had an enquiry, we may have found out when we arrived. We were initially offered a full refund which we accepted, however, there is no sign of a refund. We have called the punch bowl many times to which they very rarely answer, and when they do it's a very unhelpful young lad. Will not be booking here again

Tyckte om: Ok price for electric grass pitch. Owners son is certainly doing a fantastic job, couldn’t fault at all.

Tyckte inte om: Yes I get we were emailed regarding the site couple days before, but we booked this site nearly a year in advance and didn’t expect a few days before the site to be nothing like expected. We were given opportunity to re book another time, however given 3 days before booking to find another location, which in august is not easy, so kept booking as it was. If it wasn’t for having our own shower and toilet in our caravan, personally I wouldn’t stayed longer than 30 minutes on this site. All pitches feel cramped, we requested to be pitched with our family, yes accommodated, however literally approx 3ft between our awning and tent. This site has been lucky not to have major incident with how close tents are pitched together. Personally I wouldn’t shower my dog in the showers, never mind myself, but that is personal taste, toilets were clean, floor to block very squishy, and funny smell to it, but toilets were clean. The rubbish situation is a strange one, never seen anything like it at a site before I assume they clear the bin bags mountain weekly. This is not a dig at the owners, just an honest review of my opinion of the site. Pub/eatery not running even though was advertised when we booked, I think letting people know a couple days before there holiday is not sufficient enough when they have booked a year in advance.

Tyckte om: The space

Tyckte inte om: The rest of it. We booked this site for 12 days and left after 3. Toilets dirty and in a wooden hut. Felt like I was in a coffin they were that small. No loo roll, super dirty and unlit. No hand wash facilities. Shower didn’t warm up. Had mushrooms growing in the space. Was filthy and falling apart. My girls got stuck in there causing mass panic. The pub was derelict. Someone came to see us when we checked in and told us to go anywhere. That’s the only time we were spoken to as no one was ever about. Three massive dogs who barked constantly through the night when anyone passed.

Från föreståndaren: The pub is not open and has not been for over a year .it is the campsite that we sell and nothing to do with pub etc.Over a year ago we ahve asked pitch up to remove about the pub anyway. The family was aware as we do so with every camper about the infomation of the campsite. 1.no toilet rolls provided. 2 toilets are small 3.no hand wash facility 4.some areas are dark please bring own torch. 5.shower is camping shower not like your house shower.it does not help that peple like you keep breaking the shower and we have to continue fixing it. 6.our dogs live within the premises and not in the field at the campsite.the field is about 3 acres large away from the private area of our dogs and they are not left outside all night. 7.the someone is our son. You had family members who stayed with us before and loved it .

Tyckte om: I have stayed at the site twice now and will be returning. On my arrival the second time Shanti knew who I was and welcomed me and the family back! The cost is very reasonable and the site is basic with room to stay, a shower, toilet and water tap. It's clear that this is a basic site and you will see that when booking. What was great on both occasions is the atmosphere and the hospitality. Children playing together, people laughing and just generally enjoying themselves. Fire pits are available and bbqs welcomed which makes a great outdoor experience for adults and kids with the burgers and marshmallows. My dog was well fed from jne of our neighbours who even left him a treat by the tent for when we woke up. Its a nice, friendly vibe. The hosts themselves are very welcoming and both times I have felt safe, relaxed, and enjoyed my stay. There is a private wooded area by the river which was perfect for my early morning dog walk, and the town itself is a beautiful area, with another walk by the river to get to High Bentham. Don't believe all you read regarding negative aspects, when actually none of it is even anyone's business anyway! Thanks for a lovely stay Shanti, Doug and Ash, we will see you again soon!

Tyckte om: Very welcoming family, nothing was too much trouble. I appreciate the fact that we were informed before we arrived for our holiday. It will be very nice site when the refurbishment is complete. Thankyou for a lovely break

Tyckte om: The location of the campsite was great for what we needed, it is very basic(as it says wild camping). The owners came and introduced themselves and seemed really friendly, after this they didn’t bother us at all (which was absolutely fine) they were there if we needed them. The fire pits were around the campsite and seemed to be a case of get one if you want one and find your own wood for it. The little river and woodland area was nice and the kids and the dog loved playing in the river to cool down(it was a lovely warm weekend). There is a separate water tap to the hose at the toilet area. Cheap and cheerful. We walked up Pen-y-Ghent and visited Morcambe Bay (30 mins drive), there is a brilliant kids park up in high Betham across from the spa shop - about 20-30 minutes walk away.

Tyckte inte om: I think the toilets, shower & sink (toilet bowl) with hose pipe could do with a refurbishment but was fine for our needs.
