The cost for 2 nights was quite expensive. We have been travelling for 2weeks & this was the most expensive. The deal included breakfast as all the hotels we have used. However this was the only hotel that charged an extra £6.50 if we had porridge or cereal with our breakfast. Only one dish allowed for breakfast. All the other hotels where breakfast was inclusive provided all cerals, porridge, fruit juices, yogurts, toast, plus a full cooked breakfast. Never were we charged extra for cereal. No fruit etc available. Today I had porridge, 2 bacon & 2 eggs. No toast etc so they charged my £6. I call that unfair.

The staff were amazing, great little Inn, it is a little out of the way, around 20 minutes from the city centre, however we were prepared for this as we had a hire car. Cute little rooms, has everything you need. We would certainly stay here again! Thanks team!

Good quaint lodge
Nice quaint lodge by the forest just in the outskirts of the city. Lovely garden and outdoor dining. Restaurant onsite but closes early so I missed dinner and had to order a “ Just Eat” delivery. Breakfast was great. Staff were friendly. Overall a good stay.
Great views into the garden

The Sun Inn very relaxing
Sun Inn was comfortable and had a homely feel . Accommodating staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our room had a great Mira shower in the bathroom. A little bit of traffic noise from road outside meant keeping the windows tight shut at night but room did have fan. Food in the dining area was good, especially the porridge breakfast. Would stay again if in the area

In my honest opinion
This is my honest opinion. It wasn't the worst experience I've had. The boy Tom is absolutely fantastic well mannered and went above and beyond. We stayed in the winnie suite. At 1st glance its stunning but as we started to use the hot tub it seems like the jets were not working like there was so kind of fault. The hot tub wasn't very clean ie some flys/grit. Bathroom was lovely and the big bath in bedroom. However we had to ask for hot water to be turned on which i found was a bit weird. Small fridge didn't work properly ie didn't keep drinks cool. Dinner was ok starters were good. My partner had a burger side order of macaroni that was very dry my steak pie was good. It was a friday and there was only 6 people in the restaurant. Breakfast was really good we had a few bits from the menu full Breakfast, toast, mushrooms and pancakes with bacon. In my honest opinion i think some little things need some tlc and it would be a fantastic place.

The room that we had the shower didn't work properly. Managed eventually to get warm water then turned cold after a few seconds, tried to rectify it but the water shut down completely. Tea and coffee making facilities - only 2 tea bags, no coffee pods and 1 milk pod.
