This was a really lovely place to stay. We received the warmest of welcomes and excellent service from all the staff throughout. The room was well presented, clean and spacious and despite being near a busy road was very quiet. The food served in the pub was simple, fairly priced and delicious. The location was brilliant with Coate Water tucked behind so we enjoyed a couple of beautiful walks by the lake. I would definitely recommend The Sun Inn and look forward to returning.

Up to and beyond expectations

Our stay was everything that we had hoped for - friendly and helpful staff, excellent room with plenty of space,super outdoor space and lovely hanging flowers. It was a Saturday night and we thought it might be a tad noisy, but having been lively and buzzzing earlier, all was calm and quiet at 11pm and we had a really good night's sleep.

been here before but someone's decided that breakfast is from 9 till 11 - luckily somebody agreed we could have breakfast at 8 but that's still quite late for "workers" - my colleague lost his key and had a difficult time locating a member of the hotel team as they said no 24 hour assistance - makes me wonder if I'll stay again

Room was full of black dog hair, dirty and tired in general, bathroom appalling with mould a plenty. Spiders in every corner. Very poor mattress. Staff were great no issues there. Such a shame, we had booked 2 nights but could not bring ourselves to stay the second night, even though they made an effort to clean the room. Will avoid.

A really nice place to stay, staff are friendly & helpful. If 5 star luxury it’s what your looking for it’s probably not the place for you, but for everyone else I would recommend as a good place to stay.
