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)

Staff were great and very friendly , food was brilliant. Only downside was that we were in the Cow room which was directly above the Gents toilets which have the loudest hand driers in the world!! even at 0100 in the morning. They really are that loud , but a simple swap to paper towels would make everything wonderful.

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.

Great stay

From check in to check out, staff were really friendly. As a solo traveller I felt safe at all times. The pub itself seemed very friendly. The breakfast was lovely and the chef was very accomodating, cooking my order to my request. Would certainly stay again.
