An old and historic property- a bit querky. Staff very helpful but the rooms were basic and the lighting, in particular, was poor.

The whole building need materials repaired or replaced toilet don’t flush properly shower not good bed too small the floor in the room uneven we were there for a reunion the organiser booked a table for 12 people for evening meal and the organiser checked to remind hotel manager on three separate weeks coming up to the day of the stay than when the day came the organiser checked again about the booking for the table and the manager said they never received a booking for the table so the organiser had to find something else for the meal so the hotel closed the bar at six pm so it was a poor even alround

I was happy with the Sun hotel for the price I paid. It was relatively cheap and I thought the hotel was good value. It is a very old listed building and there are timbers that are hundreds of years old visible throughout. As a result of the age some of the floors and walls are uneven but this adds to the character.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was tasty.

Friendly staff. Very clean room. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was perfect. And half the price per room than the local Premier Inn! All in all a very enjoyable stay.
