The Sun Hotel was completed in 1902 and built to overlook the surrounding
countryside and enjoy the exceptional fell and mountain views. With accommodation
for 1 to 25, there are 10 bedrooms including 3 family rooms (all en-suite
or with private bathroom), a large lounge and separate Dining Room a few
steps away from the pub next door.
The style of the place is deliberately informal and the outcome is a
comfortable, relaxed and friendly venue where children and pets are also
welcome. It's particularly good for groups & family parties as it comes
fully staffed with its own pub next door. For larger groups or business
functions, the rates are surprisingly competitive compared to self catering
equivalents.
The Inn (a Freehouse) provides a genuine old-fashioned Lakeland setting
with stone walls, stone floor, exposed beams and a beautiful old range
in the fireplace which is lit most days or evenings. Famous for its connection
with Donald Campbell and his attempts at the Water Speed Record and now
restored to the 'Good Pub Guide' with 5 real ales, an excellent menu and
35 listed wines, it's enjoyed by walkers and talkers, locals and guests
alike.
