Very good

My wife and I were due to be staying at The Sun for a second time having thoroughly enjoyed our previous visit. Unfortunately, I fractured my ankle the week before our latest trip and the management team at The Sun were extremely understanding and accomodating a booking move at short notice, something they weren't required to do via Hotels.co.uk. Thank you so much - we will see you soon!

Great staff, food and views
Lovely little hotel that serves great food and has the friendliest staff you will ever meet. Had a good sized, comfortable room with a lovely view. We’re very dog friendly, even cooking an extra breakfast sausage for her! Would highly recommend, we had a wonderful stay.
Fabulous, cosy Hotel. Clean, comfortable and dog friendly. The staff here are so friendly, helpful and genuinely can't do enough for you. Had the best nights sleep-the bed was so very comfortable. The breakfast and the food in the bar is delicious, plentyful, well presented and a great choice of menu.
Our only criticism is there are no outdoor bins to dispose of used doggy bags.
We will definately be going back though.
Great stay. Good location to walk the Old Man of Coniston and visit the Ruskin Museum and village. Parking on site. Lots of choice for breakfast options. Breakfast is available for a short window. Excellent choice of ales on the bar and friendly staff. Would stay again.
The Sun is a fine hotel. Our room was comfortable if a bit small. The bonus was windows on two sides which meant more light and ventilation. The breakfast was good, but not outstanding.
Overall the is a fine value for the price and I would use them again.
Charming hotel, with a lot of history, with its links to Donald Campbell and Bluebird. Room was cosy and comfy, and staff were so lovely. Really amazing location, with geat views and a fantastic beer terrace. Food was excellent. Could not fault it. Will definitely be staying again.
It is a local hotel with pub atmosphere and clearly popular in the village. However our stay was good.

Very Friendly Staff & Good Food.
Very welcoming staff, friendly, polite, helpful, couldn’t be nicer & the food was great! Bar, was well stocked, comfortable with the outside areas looking very welcoming, great for a summer stay.
The room was nicely decorated, but a small double means a small double, the bed felt tiny. If you are booking in get a larger room.
Stayed at the Sun solo for a couple of nights.
Great location in terms of access to the mountains and close to shops/pubs.
Very welcoming staff, clean and comfortable bedroom with great views. Breakfast was strong - plenty of options, full english was delicious. Pub within the hotel was great - roaring open fire to heat up after being out on the mountains, loads of local ales.
Would definitely stay again, and would def recommend. Thanks for having me!
Cheers,
Hugh
historic hotel, always feel relaxed when i stay here. The staff are warm, friendly and always prepared to give you their time.
the lounge is just so relaxing!
Very pleased with the warm and friendly service. I was the only guest for 2 nights. I was treated just the same as if the hotel was full.
Enjoyed the time, thanks to all
