The food was very good breakfast and evening meals always very tasty with a varied choice. The staff were very friendly and made us feel at home. We had a small problem with our first twin room and were moved into a very comfortable family room. A very nice place to say. Would defiantly stay again.

Excellent village location. Nice comfortable room with tasteful decor, original beams & modern en suite shower room. Good breakfast and evening meal menu, food good quality. Fantastic range of gins and beers the landlord really knew his stuff matching the type of tonic and garnish to the gin. All staff Lovely, friendly and great service. You need to park on the public car park which is a pay as you leave but on check in the young lady asked for our car registration and informed us the inn would cover the cost. Fantastic customer service! We could even leave the car there a day o the day of check out so we could go on a walk.

Really warm welcome from friendly people. Room was clean and bed really comfortable. The pub was well stocked with excellent choices of ale for my husband and wine for me. The food was great and followed by a walk around a very pleasant, tranquil Lakeland village. well located for Conniston and Windermere. A great stay, I'd recommend it to anyone.

The staff were superb (without exception). The welcome was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. There was a good menu and the quality of the food (and the cooking) were excellent. We stayed 5 nights and ate there every night! The free wifi was excellent (superfast and reliable throughout the hotel). There is a good range of real ales and other drinks - something for everyone. The live music on the Friday evening was REALLY good - an accomplished solo artist playing an amplified acoustic guitar and songs from the 60s-present - and taking requests! If you like walking there are a number straight from the front door and a short drive gives even more flexibility. The walk around Tarn Hows or over the hills and down to the shores of Windermere are recommended. This was our second visit and we will definitely be going back!

The B&B is very conveniently located in the middle of Hawkshead. The staff were really helpfull and friendy. The room was clean and comfortable and the food in the restaurant for dinner was really good - We ate in the restaurant both nights of our stay. The Wifi worked well - Very little to fault at the Sun Inn
