Catered for my gluten free request (had emailed this in advance and they'd joined it up). Very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Was a limited evening menu but gammon and pineapple with chips cooked perfectly and met the "must do" criterion I always start with that it must be hot and it was hot and freshly cooked and delivered. Slight problem with the room lock; fed back it needed lubrication or replacement on room 10!

Only the minor points above don't wish to detract from what was a comfortable stay where I was looked after and as good as the same time the previous year (for the annual Sandtoft Gathering event at the local Trolleybus Museum)

The staff are lovely,helpful and friendly..a credit to The Punchbowl Inn as a returning factor remembering their great customer service and nothing too much trouble.Location is a 5 minute walk from the train station at Thorne North with hf hr trains to/from Doncaster by the looks(we live in Manchester so great connections too)Laid back,friendly,not too busy pub/venue.Beds clean and comfy.Music off from party room in good time for midnight,very fair.

The walls are thin so we could hear a neighbour snoring-cant imagine if it was a family with children and us awake with them at every feed/noise!;)..Would of been nice to be able to have an iron or hairdryer for hire.

Staff members at the hotel were extremely accommodating would highly recommend

Was woken bye a delivery for the pub early

The room was clean and tidy everything we needed to make a drink in the morning . The bedroom was warm, and doors opened out so we could get some fresh air.. Staff were friendly, and nothing was too much trouble Would stay here again .

My husband thought the quality of the breakfast could have been better . But it was big enough.

We are a retired Australian couple on a cycling holiday. On arrival at the property we were warmly welcomed, shown to secure storage and charging facilities for our bikes and then to a comfortable room. we sustained a puncture and the staff were great in providing local knowledge about repairs. couldn’t be happier about the staff cooperation.

a hand towel in the room would have been nice.

breakfast waS GOOD 1ST CLASS GOOD HOSTS FRIENDLY AND HELPFULL I HAVE STAYED THERE BEFORE AND WILL BE STAYING THERE AGAIN

EVERYTHNG

The Punchbowl Inn is a very nice accomodation: my room was clean, comfortable and supplied with everything necessary for a splendid stay. In addition, I enjoyed the very friendly staff and the overall familiar and warm atmosphere.

Absolutely brilliant little family run hotel. lovely food, suitable for children. breakfast just right and filling. we were pasting though thorn, lovely setting and easy to find before heading off agin. we were in a family room, which was a brilliant size for us. bunkbeds, a double bed and a spare single, so more then enough room for us. shower room clean and great amount of hot water (which we always love and want) we stayed Jubilee weekend, it was very quiet and chilled. this is exactly what we wanted for out little family all in all very happy for our stay. thank you very much.

I got the feeling they don't really do the normal breakfast routine.

No complaints re the hotel however Booking.com gets the thumbs down. I sent a request via them for earlier check in to get ready for a funeral after travelling. It immediately came back not possible. The hotel never received the request and assured me it was possible.

It was nice and handy for where we wanted to be. Close to a little park. Room was clean and had an ensuite. Towels were supplied. Heating available that worked. Kettle, tea/coffee available. Breakfast included at reasonable time. Could have what we wanted. Was able to see to my dietiary needs/allergy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Downstairs was roomy and plenty of space of where to sit. TV in room though we didnt use it. Desk/dressing table with stool. Wifi available that worked. Some local places to eat evening meal.

Could not have evening meal as there was a party and wasnt told before arrival. Said party was directly under our room so didnt quiten down until after 11pm. Cups not mugs for drinks and no alternatives to T/C which you would think this day and age there wood be. Luckily I had my own.
