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

Very dog friendly hotel
We took our 13 year old dog with us and were unsure how he would cope with the stairs as we were on the second floor. As it turned out he was fine and I have to say, the staff were so welcoming and friendly, it was a pleasure to stay at the Sun and would definitely go back in the future. Everything was clean and tidy with a good level of accessories in the room.
