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.

This is the second occasion we have stayed at The Sun, we love it! It is aging and a little rough around the edges, but it’s character runs deep, it’s atmosphere is just lovely and homely. If you like your hotels with character and charm, this is the place for you, if you are after standard, or uniform, or sterile, this is not your place. Really convenient and delicious breakfast, will be staying again for sure!
