“The Holly Inn is a beautiful place. Atmosphère and staff friendly and helpful… phone first if you need to eat !
Room was clean beds ok and sheets although pillow had a blood stain( droplet on it)
Although I paid for better room was given a cheaper one upstairs. Here the room smelt of fried cooking and bathroom whilst clean was old and mouldy in the corners .. water from shower good. I would stay in this room again at the cheaper rate. Not full . Lovely garden for dog and our furry friends……
“Showing some signs of wear but still plenty of evidence of its former glory days, rooms were comfortable and staff efficient. Breakfast choice was good and cooked food tasty. The toaster is a learning challenge! Central location can make parking another challenge but readily available free discs allow a 2 hour Market Place stay for loading/unloading. The castle and riverside are close by, accessed by steep slopes.”
“Property is very old. Our room was completely lopsided so wouldn’t be good for someone with mobility issues. Needs a bit of spruce up as the photos don’t show the property’s current condition. Carpets need replacing and flooring in bathroom had cracked tiles. Very quiet though and couldn’t hear the noisy pubs around which were playing loud music with noisy shouting in the gardens. Windows have secondary glazing which kept it quiet. Breakfast was nice but tables close together. Property asked for……
“What I love this hotel the most is the breakfast, its by order and put you feel like on vocation (I am on biz trip). The staff was very nice as well.
The hotel location is perfect and nearby market place, very easy to walk around this lovely city. The only thing that need to improve is the internet connection, it was that good in my room.”
“Due to many delays, we didn't arrive until very late, but Jane made sure our room was lit and welcoming. We were staying in the barn and the room was perfect. Beds comfortable and shower prrssure was strong. Breakfast was excellent, good coffee. ”
“Fantastic accommodation, clean, well maintained, friendly and very helpful staff, superb service. Room beautiful and well dressed. Food exceptional. ”
“Lovely spacious stay at this pub for my family, loved the little touches.. fresh milk in the room, with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits. Large comfy beds. Staff were very friendly, and we had dinner here too which was delicious and well priced.
Only thing that let it down were the light curtains giving us an early wake up, a black out blind would be a perfect addition!
Well located for Forbidden Corner and Druids Temple. ”
“What a stunning location! The rooms and service are excellent and we had a great stay. The food was generous and tasty. I'd certainly recommend The Punch Bowl as an ideal location to explore Swaledale. ”
“Great hotel the rooms are spacious and very well decorated. The bathroom had a fabulous shower and again great size. The shower cubicle had some mould in the seal which was a shame.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was great and cooked to order.
We will definitely return”
“Brilliantly run pub with great food and lovely king sized room.
The Landlady couldn't have been more helpful. My wife and I had a wonderful stay and hope to return if we return to this area.”
“Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. This is the 5th time we have been and will definitely be returning. The rooms are immaculate and the food is gorgeous. The staff make us feel so welcome every time. ”
“Room was amazing and comfortable with fantastic views of the village, breakfast was a welcome treat. Was disappointed to find dirty cutlery in the dishwasher in the room on arrival. Very characterful and charming, overall a perfect getaway. ”
“1-night stay for a business trip. This hotel is in a convenient location right on the Scotch Corner junction.
Room was clean and as expected, easy parking.
The restaurant was OK for both breakfast and dinner, not fine dining but decent enough.
I recommend this one over the next Holiday Inn further north.”
“Very love area with walking paths, forest and birds, lots of birds.
The dining hall, reception and lounge area are fabulous.
The extra building housing non-suite rooms is very tired looking and cold, but the price reflects that, so no complaints.
Staff is very helpful and attentive.
I would definitely stay there again.”
