We have visited the Ullswater area on many occasions and bypassed Askham most of that time, which was a huge mistake. Situated somewhere between Ullswater and Haweswater Reservoir the Inn is perfect for exploring the region. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and although early were able to check in with out any issues. We stayed in room 5 which has nice views of the outside of the inn and the immediate village. The room was well equipped with plenty of toiletries and more on request if needed. From the beginning the staff were friendly and helpful and worked like trojans as the pub was busy for the 2 days we stayed. There is plenty of parking in and around the Inn but give and take is needed at very busy times. We had no issues and it was a bank holiday weekend. We ate in both nights and the service and food was excellent. Breakfast likewise. Situated about c4 miles from Pooley Bridge, the village is beautiful, quiet, well kept with lots of local walks including one to the nearby Lowther Castle and its grounds. We drove to Pooley Bridge parked for £4 all day in a car park near the pubs and caught the steamer to Glenridding. Despite the rain, well it is the lakes, a fantastic experience as always. If you're looking for a quaint quiet setting, great atmosphere and lovely informal hosts then look no further. We will definitely, definitely return.

The size of the bedroom was good, with excellent views from the bedroom.

The local store was warm and friendly and for a village store exceptionally well stocked. The Queen's head across the road charged £23 for two drinks then at 9pm called it quits for the evening and hurried us up to leave, cleaning around us, cashing up then setting up for breakfast. Doors slammed and bolted by 9.45pm. Woken early by dog walkers enjoying the village.

A small very quiet village.
A small very quiet village. The pub we stayed in was the only place to stay and eat as the other one is currently closed. There is an open air swimming pool but we didnt use it, as it was fully booked. Askham Hall Gardens is a beautiful place with a lovely little cafe., well worth the small £4 entry fee. Great for peace and quiet and not far to Ullswater.

This is a lovely little village with plenty of places to explore and totally re-charge your batteries.
You can either have a nice long walk or drive to nearby places with plenty to do, including scenic boat trips and water sports, and on returning to the village there are two hostelries serving good food and drinks, in front of a roaring fire, where you can totally unwind.

If you like staying in an old inn, in a rural out-of-the way setting, then this is just the place for you. Askham a small, pretty, quiet village with a single grocery shop that you can buy any essentials that you need.
We ate at the Punchbowl Inn where we stayed, good food, wine and beer at reasonable prices. There was another pub in the village offering pub meals too.
Friendly staff and locals at the Punchbowl Inn, good for dog owners as they allow well-trained dogs into the pub too.
