Really lovely little B&B in a cute and twee lakes village. We stayed in room 6 which apart from low head height in places was absolutely spot on. Spotlessly clean and in great order. Modern ensuite was lovely. Coffee and tea facilities. Nice big bed. Breakfast was amazing. Well cooked and presented. Set us up for the day. Staff were very friendly and I would recommend staying here. 

Don't judge a book by its cover 

I can’t believe this is not a four or five star hotel. The rooms were spacious and immaculate and bathroom spotless. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. One of the best breakfasts and such a great selection. Food on the night time offered a great selection and all very tasty- we were a group of 6 so tried many of the courses. We will most definitely be coming back. 

Thank you to the team of staff. 

Highly recommended and can’t wait to go back and amazing value for money. 

Amazing hidden  gem in a perfect location we have just got  had a 2 night break here after a poor holiday abroad and what can we say the place was spotless the owner’s go above and beyond to make you feel at home the rooms amazing and the bed was super comfy  breakfast was perfect and lots of choices and the live entertainment was fabulous we will  be back with the family for sure 

Amazing break away

Just back from a lovely midweek stay at the Sun Inn and what a pleasure it was to go there.  From the minute we stepped into the place everyone we met was just lovely.  The place was spotless, and the breakfast that was included was just amazing!  The music night with" Fiona in the lakes" topped off a fabulous stay despite the rainy weather at the beginning of the week.  Thankyou for looking after us so well.  Cant wait to come back.

Fabulous Mid-Week Break

We had a night out in HH and found ourselves here at the Sun Inn. 
The staff were welcoming and extremely helpful. There was live music and two stunning ales on tap- Dizzy Blond and Loweswater gold.  We got stuck into a few of these, but found ourselves hungry. Luckily they have a deal with the Chippy next door. What a superb link up! So needless to say we have Fish and chips with a Dizzy Blond ale! 
A well run pub that definitely deserves a visit. 
Many thanks.

Dizzy blond with Fish and Chips!

Stayed here with friends in a room with four poster bed lovely and clean bed comfy breakfast beautiful staff very friendly right next door is a lovely chippy and hotel.lets u eat it in there will.return

Birthday treat

We found this accommodation in the charming village of Hawkshead. The pub is a 300 year old listed building and that should be taken into account when it comes to bedroom sizes. In the 17th century England was mostly inhabited by elves and the rooms would have been considered massive. Today as a 6 foot tall person some areas of room 6 I could not travel to. Having said that my much shorter wife had no problem. The room was beautifully furnished and very clean. Really full of character with all mod cons. The bathroom likewise was modern with great design touches though the shower head was very high up and I had to assist my wife in bringing it down to her level. This would have also been problematic for the townsfolk staying there in 1736. The service was excellent with all staff being extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was of top quality and really did set us up for the day. Look at our photos of it, makes you hungry right? Happy to recommend and also to return. Parking is just a 2 minute walk away in the public carpark by the fudge shop.

Beautiful Cosy Pub With Accomodation

Really friendly welcome, room (8) was spotless.  

Good amenities with minibar, kettle and coffee machine 

Great breakfast choice with brilliant staff who couldn’t do en high for you

Lovely bar area with good selection and regular entertainment

Great little inn

Thank you a million times thank you
For more than looking after us after our not so smooth start to our trip to Scotland via via Hawkshead
We can’t recommend the sun enough to anyone heading to this fabulous part of the country 
Best breakfast ever xxx

Thank you thank you

As the title suggests, what a find.
This is a small 16h century Inn.It is drenched with examples of this era.Thick stone walls creaky corridors and the obligatory uneven carpeted stairs.It brilliant. 

The rooms are big enough for a short stay and caters for most travellers needs.There is a bespoke coffee machine as well as a kettle.There is a reasonably priced mini bar as well.The beds are crisp clean and comfortable beyond reason. 
A velux enables the guest to choose if they want a warm or crisp evening. 

There is a piping hot walk in shower plus complimentary toiletries. 

The bar downstairs is very inviting as there is a roaring fire giving the alcoved room a sense or warmth as well as the feeling of stepping back several centuries. 
There is a full drinks choice as well as a cocktail menu.

The sleep at evenings end was very quiet, as  we heard nothing from the bar several floors below.

The breakfast area  is situated in an offshoot room that is pristine clean and very jacobean. 

The breakfast is different level .a choice of starters including porridge. 
The main event  is a full English. Please be aware this is a big eat.

2 bacon,2 hash browns,2 eggs etc..if you are going to encounter this diamond breakfast I'd be surprised if you considered a lunch later.
The breakfast is concluded by thick toast and bespoke preserves and butters.
Coffee/tea is ferried as requested to the table.

To conclude this is a fabulous stop off or short stay .

The whole place is so so clean it's amazing. 

Car parking is a council paid affair a few 100m from the front door and cost us a mere £5 from check in at 1500 till our departure st 0840 the following morning. 

It's not often you get to spend an evening in such an old building that has been sympathetically updated for 21st century living. 

Try it...
