Location was perfect, being next to the park. The room was very good and the breakfast was excellent. The only thing that could have made it better was to have a ground floor room, because we found the stairs difficult, having a dog.

Absolute gem of a find for a friendly and very dog friendly location. Staff are a credit to the Sun Inn, nothing too much trouble. Food is good and facilities / location excellent. Very near Coates Water park, with a lovely 2.2 mile walk around the lake. Also close to McArthor Glen outlet
