Experience was a disaster
We did not stay at the Sun Inn having booked abd shown the room which can only describe as a workmans hut. The carpet was dirty with lots of stains there were 2 very small towels size of teatowels whucg were veey grey should have white and well worn. After travelling for 3 hours to be confronted by a room which was in need of a complete update if decor cobwebs in room and bathroom and a television that did not work. We immediately asked for a refund which was granted and we left the premises and went to another hotel which was 50 pounds higher in price the standards of which could not be faulted.

Sun went down here some time ago
Friendly welcome, food was nice, l9g fire was warming & a nice touch. However, carpet on the stairs to rooms very dirty, bathroom 3 was in very poor vondition. Bath panel broken & poorly fitting, shower head cracked & leaking. Worst of all was the shower valve, very difficult to operate & adjust temperature, it stayed very hot & could scold if not careful. Shame as i so qanted to lije the place.

Room required refurbishment which was a pity as it must have been nice at some point and that would have made up for the noisy road the mot garage and the railway viaduct across the road. That said the bar restaurant was lovely and the food and service was excellent.

We stayed in the suite which was pretty special, large room and bathroom and private deck area with hot tub and sauna. It was hard to leave the room to go down for dinner but glad we did, fantastic gourmet food and breakfast the next day. For a special occasion you'll be hard pressed ti find a nicer room than this for the price.
