The food was amazing …. However sadly the room let things down . There was no kettle in our room despite there being a tray with cups , tea /coffee etc . When queried the staff apologised and said they try and find one ……..never happened . The plumbing work in the bathroom left a lot to be desired …… very poor grouting round the bath / shower door …… the shower was extremely loose and felt it would fall off the wall ….. tiles missing from behind the sink . Toilet roll attached to wall opposite the loo ……… you needed arms at least four foot long to reach it ! . Would recommend for eating , not staying .

The staff here are very hospitable. Angus was fabulous in meeting needs. There’s a pretty wooded area to the sides and a nice area to sit outside. The carpet is filthy in the hallway, stairs and in the room. The Sun Inn is on a main road next to the train tracks. Since there is no air conditioning we will sleep with the window open which we couldn’t do because of the traffic noise. The shower was very nice. There was a floor fan which helped tremendously. Dinner and breakfast were good. The rooms need reuniting. There are areas that smell very bad in the hallway like old rubbish. I would not stay here again.

The hotel was in a state of disrepair and need of renovation. The pictures you find on the internet must be old and don't tell the true story. The staff is is nice and friendly, though.

Our room was clean and comfortable - very charming. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Loved the quaint atmosphere - the meals in the gastropub were very tasty. The only concern we had is that the bed was a little too hard for us and the pillows too soft - but features like that are very subjective so that might not be a problem for you! The Inn is situated on a main road so can get very busy at times. Our room did overlook the road but once the window was closed and blinds drawn it was quieter. Again, didn’t bother us but something to keep in mind if you need peace & quiet. All in all a lovely place to spend a few nights and/or a lovely meal

The Sun Inn was all that we could have hoped for. Nice, comfortable rooms, friendly and accommodating staff and a wonderful breakfast (free). It had a cozy feel to it and we were sad to leave. It was definitely a five star for us.

We were disappointed that we arrived for the nights lodging and the restaurant was closed when the advertised hours clearly said it should be open. We arrived just after 18:00. The Sun website said the restaurant was open until 19:00. Google said it was open until 21:00. They directed us to walk a half mile to another pub which was open. Room was quite noisy due to the busy highway in front. Coffee service in the room was messed up. Instead of instant coffee in the container, it was ground coffee with no method of making it. It was not a cheap room, ot should have been executed better.

Clean presentable and nice welcoming staff. For info, nearest station is Eskbank and whilst route planners say 20 minutes walk that is via a public footpath that is unlit, the "long way" is nearer 40 minutes, any which way the station has a large car park.

The staff were amazing, great little Inn, it is a little out of the way, around 20 minutes from the city centre, however we were prepared for this as we had a hire car. Cute little rooms, has everything you need. We would certainly stay here again! Thanks team!
