A group of us called in for a drink after a day's fell walking. The pub is in a great location above the village, with superb views of the surrounding fells. We dropped anchor at a table on the spacious sun terrace. There was a fair selection of real ales to complement the usual lagers, etc. The stone-flagged bar was... More

We stayed here for 2 nights with friends occupying 4 rooms in April. The rooms are in need of updating, in particular the bathroom although I must say that the bed is one of the comfiest I have slept in. When we went to dinner on the Saturday night they could only offer us a choice of 2 courses off... More

Firstly,we did not get our food until after 9pm, pizzas were coming out to tables over and over yet we were unable to order one. Secondly, the pasta... More

A warm, cosy, clean, very dog friendly hotel in a superb location. Reasonably priced, friendly staff, good food, log fires going most of the day and a very comfy bed. What more can you ask for? We'll be back!

The Sun Hotel was excellent. Great food, friendly staff and a hotel with superb outlook over the marvellous Coniston countryside. A mecca for lovers of real ale and some of the best walking routes in the country right from the front door. We will be back. Nigel & Linda P

I couldn't give this place any more praise. The location is fantastic, it's a ten minute walk from Coniston Water and in the ideal place for a walk up the Old Man. For the price I was shocked at how nice the rooms are and how big the bathroom is! The owners were very welcoming and everyone seemed very friendly.... More

Just stayed here for a weekend. If you fancy a pint after a walk on the fells then the bar is great especially in winter with the lovely fire. However, we found the area leading to the rooms and the room itself very tired and drab and as soon as I entered the room I wanted to leave. Breakfast is... More

Popped in for some food and a pint on a busy Saturday afternoon. The beer was excellent and we really liked the relaxed surroundings of the main bar. Unfortunately there simply were not enough staff to do the job properly, 1 bar man and about 40 people to serve, felt sorry for the guy who was doing his best. Not... More
