An amazing little Gem.
Pros:

What a little gem the Punch Bowl is.
I regularly visit Bridge North and this is definitely going to be my place to stay.
The room was incredibly comfortable and had everything you could possibly need, hairdryers,irons, toiletries, even a room fan which you don’t find very often in other hotels. The food was more than adequate, a comprehensive menu and also a cavery was on offer several evenings.
Amazing grounds and lovely areas to sit and drink.

Cons:

Really couldn’t fault the punchbowl at all. The staff were amazing, very polite and nothing seemed too much trouble.
