Fabulous, cosy Hotel. Clean, comfortable and dog friendly. The staff here are so friendly, helpful and genuinely can't do enough for you. Had the best nights sleep-the bed was so very comfortable. The breakfast and the food in the bar is delicious, plentyful, well presented and a great choice of menu.
Our only criticism is there are no outdoor bins to dispose of used doggy bags.
We will definately be going back though.

The Sun is a fine hotel. Our room was comfortable if a bit small. The bonus was windows on two sides which meant more light and ventilation. The breakfast was good, but not outstanding.
Overall the is a fine value for the price and I would use them again.

Stayed at the Sun solo for a couple of nights.
Great location in terms of access to the mountains and close to shops/pubs.
Very welcoming staff, clean and comfortable bedroom with great views. Breakfast was strong - plenty of options, full english was delicious. Pub within the hotel was great - roaring open fire to heat up after being out on the mountains, loads of local ales.
Would definitely stay again, and would def recommend. Thanks for having me!
Cheers,
Hugh
