We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Sun Inn. On arrival we were made very welcome and given all the information we needed for our stay. The room was very comfortable with all the facilities we needed. The breakfast offered a variety of choices which was a great start to our day. All staff were friendly and approachable. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
