The Punch Bowl

Very basic rooms above pub. Staff were really nice.

Fantastic lively accommodation

Lovely room, very pleasant welcome from bar staff.

The noise from the bar downstairs was just ridiculous, it went till 11:30 ish, the place is very good otherwise, near to beamish, nice area, but the noise....

Do not stay here Quite simply the rooms in this pub are totally unsuitable to be sold as accommodation. We experienced loud music playing in bar until midnight with zero sound proofing in rooms above so extremely loud and impossible to sleep. This was followed at 5.30am by very loud conversations through the paper thin walls/ floor and television or radio with no consideration for guests. No idea why there was this level of noise so early from what sounded like quite a few people but if these rooms are to be sold as bedrooms they need to be properly sound proofed. Furthermore no shower gel or shampoo provided in the bathroom. Radiator on full blast in summer so room far too hot.

Ok if you dont need sleep before a drive or comfor Didnt know the pub below was like the lical nightclub with music so loud until 11,30pm that you could hear every word and beat.Shower didnt stay on its setting and no pressure.Paint peeling off the walls,heating didnt work the first night.And breakfast menu charges you a price but items arent on the plate.
