We had a beautiful room at the top of the building. The bed was super king size, very comfy, and we had lots of pillows ( I usually always have to request more pillows). The two bath tubs was quite a novelty. Dinner was really good and very nicely presented. Staff were super friendly but also professional.
The white wine list was slightly disappointing

Great last minute stay for one night. We had a warm welcome, cream tea was a nice touch and dinner and breakfastv were excellent with very helpful and professional service from the staff. Room was accurately represented in photos and very warm and cosy. We have eaten at The Punch Bowl before but this was our first stay - we will be back. Thank you.

Where to begin, service is exceptional, food is out of this world and the Noble room is like living in a cloud.
Strickland room has a noise issue (that we were duly informed of!) and the shower is very small.

Travelling for work purposes, I always seek hotels with high quality restaurants and the Punch Bowl did not dissapoint. Beautifully cooked halibut and a magical banana soufflé was just one meal on a wonderful dinner menu.
I booked late and probably had the last room available but it was very dark and dingy, nevertheless it was comfortable for my one night stay.
