    The bathroom was a little cramped and the room lacked hanging for clothes. The weekday breakfast was limited

    We loved the location, friendliness of the staff, the room was clean and comfortable.

    A Charming little village of Hook Norton, with this beautiful Charming 11th century Church. Close to beautiful Hook Norton Brewery built in 1849 and still making beer today. Great location to visit the beautiful Cotswolds.

    Honestly nothing that I can point a finger at and say "I didn't like...".

    Love the location of this pub in the heart of lovely Hook Norton. The food is lovely, the rooms are comfortable and clean, and the staff are helpful and friendly, it also offers excellent value for money.

    Nothing really but single beds if possible could be replaced with larger for comfort?

    The breakfast was excellent. My only regret was, that because my daughter and I were attending a pre booked social event we didn't experience a true Sun Inn experience and its location.We will come back as a family to do just that! Beautiful village!

    We enjoyed our stay. The room was on the small side but the bed was comfy and we slept well. Breakfast was great and it was included in the booking price. The room was well equipped - the complimentary water bottles, snacks, etc were a nice touch but my favourite had to be the cafetierre and ground coffee. I loved this. Overall, we were very happy and would definitely book again.

    From my wife - consider relationship of a socket to plug in a hair dryer to the mirror!

    Good location in the village, with reasonable parking. Popular village pub with a good range of food and being a Hook Norton pub, excellent beer. Clean and comfortable room, all required facilities. The DIY breakfast arrangements worked well.

    Our bedroom was not a delux bedroom The bathroom had the loudest extractor fan we have ever heard The breakfast on the Monday was self service from a fridge downstairs and we were provided with a small choice of cereal, jams, tea coffee etc., in a basket in the room but no where to eat it I sat on the bed and my husband sat at the dressing table Another guest had practically cleared the fridge out before I got there, but that is not the pubs fault. We feel a little foldaway table could have been provided Thankyou

    We liked the location The evening meal was very good The breakfast on Sunday morning was excellent

    The bed wasn’t comfortable at all and we stayed 4 nights which meant we were tired every day.

    The staff and food were fantastic. The room and bathroom were clean and large enough for our needs.

    I would have preferred a bigger bed and a bigger room, as it was meant to be a 'deluxe' room. It was fine for one night though.

    It is a really nice village pub, and the staff and restaurant are superb. Everything was clean and the rooms were reasonably comfortable. I would certainly stay again if I was visiting the area.

    Everything was fine only thing was the church bells opposite the pub chimed every 15 minutes starting at 7am, okay if you needed an alarm clock and although sounded lovely they started too early for my liking

    Lovely village pub in ideal location, very comfortable and clean room and friendly helpful staff

    Room was quite small; bells ringing at the church opposite woke me a little early (the church is part of the character of the village so this is not a complaint but just an observation).

    Friendly, helpful staff; nice location; very comfortable bed; room was clean; lovely breakfast.

    The rooms are pretty tired and the set up doesn’t work that well. Not enough sockets by the tea coffee station so had to move the jug elsewhere. Had to fix the tv aerial connection in the room (it had been ripped out of the socket and had come apart), tv reception once that was fixed was hit and miss, table top ironing board was broken and had no padding, limited space/hangers to store clothes and no hair dryer in room but sticker on drawer suggested their should have been. Tiny shower, noisy ceiling fan and it needed a good dust. Cooked breakfast at weekends starts too late at 9am so had to get breakfast elsewhere. There is no fridge in the room so UHT portions of milk would have been good for tea/coffee. There is a fridge downstairs for the cold elements of the continents breakfast and there was milk there, day 1 milk was fine but on day 2 I noticed that the plastic milk bottles had been washed and refilled and had no seal, that milk was off. Even smaller bottles of milk for cereal would mean less waste.

    Great location, nice and clean and great to see a portable fan in the room on arrival as it was very hot. Good continental breakfast. Friendly staff. Was provided with ear plugs but didn’t need them.
