The first thing that hits you when visiting The Sun is the friendly and helpful attitude from all of the staff....faultless. Yes, the room is on the small side and the plumbing slightly noisy, but this is only to be expected from such an old building and wasn't a problem. Everything was spotlessly clean and both breakfast and evening meals... More

Stayed here 3 years ago and again just last week. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! Service excellent, food amazing, what else can you ask for...! Friendly atmosphere, clean beautiful room, fantastic beers and local produce! In the morning good breakfast, you'll be greeted by manager and extremely football obsessive dog- Sasha! We'll be back again soon, can not wait already! Hopefully Manager(... More

Stopped here on our way to Portsmouth as we had read the reviews. Started well with a good welcome from the young man at the bar. Carried our case to the room even though he was busy. The room was small as expected and clean enough, recently refurbished. When arrived at the table in the evening the waitress totally ignored... More

We live the Sun Inn as a pub. We often visit the pub but this was the first time we'd stayed over. The room was in the attic and was very small. You hit your head when bending over. It was really clean and had a nice bathroom but was just too cramped. We'd stayed at nearby Walker Ground Manor... More

A lovely old town in between 2 lakes. 400 year old inn with beams in the ceiling, very clean rooms and a VERY accommodating crew. Peaceful and quiet village in the middle of Lakes District. Close to the big towns, roman ruins, and attractions.

Stayed two nights in a wonderful twin room under the eaves. The manager, Alex, was gracious and fun and even helped carry up the bags - a first! The room was convenient, clean and had enough electric plugs for two older ladies from the US touring England. The food was good too, prepared by a chef who once served in... More

Stayed 23rd May for 2 nights. Helen and the other staff were very friendly and helpful. Good food and breakfast with a reasonable choice. Fine selection of real ale on tap too. Set in an excellent location. We will defiantly return again.

Our hiking group ate dinner in the bar. Between us we chose the beefburger with chorizo & melted cheese, Westmoreland pie and fish & chips, each priced around £10. All the meals were tasty and of excellent quality, served up promptly by attentive staff. The pub also has a decent selection of real ales. Well worth a visit.

We loved this hotel. We stayed in the Family Room which was spacious enough for our family of four. The breakfast was great and staff couldn't have been more helpful. We also had dinner at the hotel both nights we were there because it was very good and great value.

My wife and I stayed at this 8 bedroomed 17 Century Inn for 2 nights over Easter. Located in the quaint village of Hawkshead, this is an excellent base for exploring the Lake District. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was small but tastefully decorated and comfortable with the original stonework exposed in places. The menu has... More
