The Sun Inn

Good location

You get what you pay for Cheap and cheerful but rooms very run down wallpaper peeling off walls old decor etc. Poor nights sleep due to very uncomfortable bed and single glazed sash window very noisy, fully understand they can’t change due to been listed but very noisy, especially when Tesco get a delivery at 5 in morning. Massive room but no where to work in room. Staff very friendly and great location

Easy and affordable.

The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were exceptionally helpful. They kindly accommodated our request to change rooms when we expressed concerns about the one initially assigned to us. However, the rooms themselves are quite outdated and in need of significant refurbishment. Our initial room had a couple of issues: it was Room 13, which we preferred to avoid, and the shower was leaking, causing a persistent dripping noise even when turned off. The room we were moved to seemed fine at first, but we soon discovered that flushing the toilet triggered a loud, tornado-like noise. We could also hear the plumbing from the rooms above and below, making it unpleasant whenever anyone else flushed. Unfortunately, these issues made our stay uncomfortable, and we decided to check out a night earlier than planned, even though we were unable to receive a refund for that night. We understand that the hotel is situated above a pub, which can naturally lead to some noise, and we appreciate that this is reflected in the room rates. However, being woken up by a loud party on our floor at 2:30 AM was beyond what we expected. While we're not opposed to a lively atmosphere, our main goal was to explore the Lake District, not to be disturbed in the middle of the night.

Booked 2 nights in a refurbished double room 20, Monday to Wednesday, at £98 per night. The room was on the top floor and very small. The carpet was stained and the hanging rail and bed were broken. We were moved to room 12 on the second floor another supposedly refurbished room. It was much larger but still not as clean as I would expect. There is no suitcase stand or shelf in the bathroom to put your wash bags and one small hook for the towels. All the corridors to the bedrooms have a faint smell of urine. The stair bannister rail is so sticky I did not touch it a second time. Needless to say after an 8 hour drive we stayed for one night and came home writing off the cost of the second night. The only saving grace to this b&b is the young staff who tried to help out.

For what we paid for the room it was very spacious, clean and tidy and conveniently located for the purpose of our stay. Yes it was noisy around but when you are stay in a town centre it is no different to any other town centre,it is as expected. That said, the bed was comfortable enough and with a pair of earplugs it was comfortable enough for our two day stayover. The staff were polite and helpful and the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The caffetiere with the coffee was like a full bag of coffee had been poured into it and was like rocket fuel,but we are coffee lovers and it was deliscious non the less. No amenities were provided, however, given the price I wouldnt expect this. Conveniently there is a tesco express right next door and boots a few doors down so easy to buy and travel essentials you have forgotten to pack. Room was nice and cool and had a TV with freeview and tea, coffee and hot chocolate available in the room which was a nice touch. The room could have done with a minor lick of paint along one wall, but as I said previously, for an inexpensive hotel compared to other places 3/4 times the price in the area, this was a great option. Accesibility may be hard for disabled/less able bodied people as lots of stairs but sure the hotel would provide a lower level floor if requested. Overall feel nice and quite homely. Would stay here again.
