My word, does this place so NOT cater to the guest! I arrived at 7.20pm, waited for 25minutes to be served ( I was invisible all that time) at the bar and to order my food, and then to be told that they have stopped taking orders as the chef can't manage any more orders because he had a "large"...

8 of us spent 1 week around the coniston area and decided to have lunch at the hotel. We asked for some menus, which were basically thrown at us without so much as a smile or even eye contact, let alone any sort of vertbal recognition. Consequently we dicided not to bother eating and have just a drink. Still no... More

the restaurant wasn't particularly busy but told food would take 40 minutes. I had homemade beefburger and chips which was very nice but at /£13 for a burger I was expecting spectacular which it wasn't. My daughter had a small portion chicken goujons which I assumed was aimed at kids. they were so spicy (peppery) she couldn't eat them. Had... More

staff were rude, other customers blocked the bar, a very dissapointing visit after months of looking forwards to it, pleased I didnt book to stay here.

My partner and I stayed at this hotel on the 12th & 13th November 2011, it was a weekend away for his 50th. The Hotel in its self is characterful and set high allowing beautiful views towards the lake. However our room was in need of a total re-furb, tacky carpets, wallpaper coming away from the walls, paint flaking off... More

The Sun is a great pub to have a drink in, but I had a very disappointing meal there during half term. I live in the area and two sets of friends and children were staying in Coniston, so we met up at the Sun for a meal. The food took over an hour to arrive, even though we were... More

We first discovered the food at the Sun Hotel when we were staying elsewhere in Coniston on a previous visit Then we decided that it would be a good idea to stay at The Sun Hotel next time with the aim of being fed such excellent food. We booked for seven nights in September and we were totally amazed at... More

We have visited the Sun many times in the past for the quality of it's ales and the ambience of a 'real' pub. Our first stay at the hotel couldn't have gone much better, Great room (No.2) spotlessly clean, super en-suite and a wonderful view of the Old Man of Coniston from the enormous bay window. The weather was foul... More

Nice room, comfy bed very clean, good breakfast, great views of the fells, conservatory is great for meals/breakfast as being up a small hill it gives you a nice outlook over the local area, lovely "Victorian" lounge with comfy leather seats and attached to a pub with 8 "real ales" on pump - and all for under £40 a night,...
