Great stopover hotel
Stopover on the way back from hols and it worked well for us and the dog . Room (9) was well away from the very lively pub. Room was a decent with a good bed and bathroom, spotlessly clean. Decent breakfast All in all a really good stopover hotel, couldn’t really fault it

Super place and ideal with our dog
What a great place to stay with a dog. We were made to feel so very welcome. Our room was perfect for us and our dog. The garden was super dog friendly as was the pub. We had a super meal in the evening in the pub. We loved the location with the lovely lake to walk around. Slept so well in a comfy bed. I thought we might hear the road but we didn’t.. we really enjoyed our breakfast as did our dog Larry - thank you. I’m sure we will be back.
Loved his treat at breakfast - a very kind thought.
Even Larry slept so well.  Thank you.

We stayed in the chalet style lodges.clean, spacious, ample tea and coffee and other beverages, Bathroom supplies shampoo/conditioner/soap also ample. We would stay in this accommodation again. Our accommodation included Breakfast. After our family experience of an evening meal in the restaurant the night before (family of five), We chose to avoid that.

Fantastic & lovely staff. A (not so) 'little' gem!
Wonderful place, great layout the pub, garden and rooms areas. Lovely staff, who couldn't have been nicer, and friendly and welcoming guests and locals. Added bonus is Coate Waterpark, accessibpe through the field at the back of the garden, so no need to use your car all weekend! Cracking place, would highly recommend.

I’m sorry to say that my two night stay was not enjoyable. Reception was not very friendly on arrival, staff were disorganised. The accommodation is opposite the garden which was full of children until 1030 pm on the Friday night and Saturday we were next to the birthday party in the function room, again lots of noise until late. I appreciate this is a pub but the activities are too close. Breakfast was late on the Saturday morning as it was not open until 8.30 ish and had to wait 45 minutes for our food. We were then very late for our class. We have future classes booked, but will not be staying at The Sun Inn, sorry. The breakfast staff very the friendliest 😊
