A decent place to stay! The room was fine, if a little cold, but the additional heater warmed it up well. The bed was comfy and the breakfast was excellent. The staff were very friendly and I had a lovely pint in the bar. Coniston is well worth a visit and The Sun is definitely worth staying at.

Excellent customer service throughout
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.

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.

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
