Room was very clean, and the bed extremely comfy. The staff are great and could not be more helpful. The room is right onto a busy road and it was quiet noisy. Other than that would definately recommend The Sun Inn and its staff.

Amazing quality with a budget price tag. Very friendly staff and locals, great food with smaller plate options. The rooms have the 'luxuries' that used to be standard (tissues, toiletries, drinks, biscuits)

Good stay at the Sun inn.

Really pleasant pub, great beer, food was good. Room was pleasant, for us a bit noisy because of traffic, given window overlooked road and needing to be open due to warm weather. Breakfast was really excellent.
