The Sun is a great pub to have a drink in, but I had a very disappointing meal there during half term. I live in the area and two sets of friends and children were staying in Coniston, so we met up at the Sun for a meal. The food took over an hour to arrive, even though we were... More

We first discovered the food at the Sun Hotel when we were staying elsewhere in Coniston on a previous visit Then we decided that it would be a good idea to stay at The Sun Hotel next time with the aim of being fed such excellent food. We booked for seven nights in September and we were totally amazed at... More

We have visited the Sun many times in the past for the quality of it's ales and the ambience of a 'real' pub. Our first stay at the hotel couldn't have gone much better, Great room (No.2) spotlessly clean, super en-suite and a wonderful view of the Old Man of Coniston from the enormous bay window. The weather was foul... More

Just returned from a 3 night trip to The Sun (3 for 2 offer). We enjoyed our stay, but as with other reviewers there were some niggles that would be easy to address. The litter outside was not cleared at all while we were there, surely this is only a 2 minute job each day. Our room overlooked the garden... More

An old fashioned inn, with a wonderful homely atmosphere, particularly in the winter with its welcoming log fire. An excellent chef produces a surprisingly exciting menu. More

Stayed 3 nights, sunday to tuesday, on the 3 nights for price of 2 midweek deal. Room excellent, clean and tidy, big bath, powerful shower, comfy bed and a great view. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice, although make sure they get the doors and windows open in the conservatory if its a warm morning! Didn't have an evening... More
