Things started badly when on arrival we discovered that we had to park in a charging Council car park about 100 yds away. We were not even expected because they had not checked their emails since I booked on Sunday night via Booking.com. The first room we were shown was just larger than the bed and although dead tired I... More

Spent a night here while doing a bit of a tour of the lakes. We visited the pub last year for a couple of drinks and liked how it looked so decided to book a room this year. Our welcome and check - in was very good (they gave us a free parking voucher on arrival - car park just... More

Stayed at the sun Inn for three nights while mountain biking in the area. Room was excellent, clean, warm and well thought out. Breakfast was from 8.30 until 9.30, which is a very civilized time. All the food in the pub at night time was excellent. Varied, well cooked and excellent presentation. Stored mountain bikes every evening without moaning at... More

As soon as I arrived at this gorgeous pub in the heart of the village of Hawkshead I felt very welcome. The staff and locals are friendly and there was an open fire and good coffee. My room had feature stone walls and was immaculately clean with a new bathroom. This is a really good location for exploring the lakes,... More

All the staff were very friendly and helpful. As we were on motorbikes we had no parking issues, we just left them at the side of the pub.... More

Good: Clean. Bathroom. Breakfast delicious. Child friendly even in bar (counted at least 8 babies at one point). Bad: Curfew imposed (warned we would be locked out if we returned from the wedding we were attending any time after 12.30am). No using the facilities of the hotel; the bar, the pool table after The Curfew. We were informed of this... More

Hawkshead is a great location as a base for exploring the lakes. The village is extremely quaint and the Sun Inn ideally situated. The room was clean and in a good state of decoration, ensuite shower room was clean and functional Overall the accomodation could not be classed as luxurious, however it was perfectly adequate and comfortable for a short...

Hi We stayed at the Sun Inn for just one night, we had a warm welcome and decided to have our evening meal there. For information, the pass for the car park you have to give a £20 cash deposit, but you do get this back when you return the permit. Our room was very nice, traditional and modern, but... More
