The Sun Inn very relaxing
Sun Inn was comfortable and had a homely feel . Accommodating staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our room had a great Mira shower in the bathroom. A little bit of traffic noise from road outside meant keeping the windows tight shut at night but room did have fan. Food in the dining area was good, especially the porridge breakfast. Would stay again if in the area

In my honest opinion
This is my honest opinion. It wasn't the worst experience I've had. The boy Tom is absolutely fantastic well mannered and went above and beyond. We stayed in the winnie suite. At 1st glance its stunning but as we started to use the hot tub it seems like the jets were not working like there was so kind of fault. The hot tub wasn't very clean ie some flys/grit. Bathroom was lovely and the big bath in bedroom. However we had to ask for hot water to be turned on which i found was a bit weird. Small fridge didn't work properly ie didn't keep drinks cool. Dinner was ok starters were good. My partner had a burger side order of macaroni that was very dry my steak pie was good. It was a friday and there was only 6 people in the restaurant. Breakfast was really good we had a few bits from the menu full Breakfast, toast, mushrooms and pancakes with bacon. In my honest opinion i think some little things need some tlc and it would be a fantastic place.

The room that we had the shower didn't work properly. Managed eventually to get warm water then turned cold after a few seconds, tried to rectify it but the water shut down completely. Tea and coffee making facilities - only 2 tea bags, no coffee pods and 1 milk pod.

Great welcome by the staff and the property has, in the past, been thoughtfully decorated but the rooms are showing signs of disrepair and aren't well sound proofed against road noise. The TV didn't work.

So far the most comfy and welcoming place I have stayed at while here. This was my first time in the UK and I’m glad to have stayed here. Good room for the price with breakfast included. Only snag is the place is out of range for taxi/uber pickups. They are able to drop off if you’re coming from Edinburgh but best to rely on Eskbank station or a rental car if you need to get back.
