The mornings here are best taken slowly.

A coffee outside in the autumn sun, no itinerary to speak of, and a valley view on the doorstep, we can't think of a better way to start the day.

A slow Sunday in the Lake District: a proper lunch, a wander through the countryside, and nowhere in particular to be afterwards.

No rush, no plans beyond the next course. It's the best kind of day, and the one we'd recommend over anything else.

A room, a bath, a view, and nothing on the agenda.

Each of our nine rooms are named after an old vicar of the church next door, and every one has a freestanding bath made for staying in far too long.

The four-legged walkers are always welcome here.

Bring them in off the fells, and we will sort the water bowl and the fuss. A proper country pub wouldn't have it any other way.

This is the sort of place you happily drive a little out of your way for.

A proper country inn tucked into the Lyth Valley, where the damson orchards meet the fells. Quietly luxurious, warm, just the kind of escape that resets you.

Come and find us, it's worth the detour.

If you order one thing at The Punch Bowl, make it the soufflé.

Twice-baked Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire cheese, light as air, and the reason Tom Parker Bowles turned up to review the kitchen. The AA and Cumbria Dining Pub of the Year awards really show just how good our soufflé is…

Book a table and see for yourself.
