It would be very fair to Say the last review (quirky) would be a very good evaluation of this hotel. They are trying so hard but falling just short. Do not get a room at the front of the hotel as you will be kept awake into the middle of the night, these rooms are horrendously noisey due to the... More

If you like the predictable "which-city-am-I-in-tonight?" layout and furnishings of the large hotel chains, The Sun Hotel will be your idea of hell. However, if you prefer small, family-style hotels and older, quirky buildings then you'll probably love it here. On the positive side: There's redecoration going on and our room, while structurally old and furnished with a bed and... More

Stayed for two nights at a weekend whilst visiting friends. Room was small but comfortable. Breakfast was ok but tables and chairs etc looking a little bit tired and need renewing. The big minus point was the noise from the street as there is a nightclub next door which kept us awake till four in the morning. It was so... More

This was a good hotel, rooms, service, food and value. But the use of inhouse function rooms and the noise from the street outside was exessive. Would use this hotel again but would bring ear plugs. More

We stayed last weekend with some friends. We had a nice weekend despite it being the coldest for ages. The hotel was fine - very old with lots of narrow corridors and beams. We had booked 2 rooms quite a while since and thought it funny as they were both booked together that we weren't anywhere near each other.We needed... More

We recently used this hotel on the 29th of January, after a drive down from Scotland we were warmly welcomed at reception, settled into our freshly re-vamped room. We enjoyed our meal and drinks in the bar which were very reasonably priced. Free WiFi was also used. The breakfast was excellent also. A great character hotel at a good price. More
