The Pub is a gem

Sun Hotel, Cumbria, Front of Building, 19K

Built before 1600 on the old Walna Scar packhorse trail to the west, the Inn (a freehouse) provides a genuine old-fashioned Lakeland setting with stone walls, stone floor, exposed beams and a beautiful old range in the fireplace which is lit most days or evening.

Sun Hotel, Cumbria, Inside, 8K

Famous for its connection with Donald Campbell and his attempts at the Water Speed Record and now restored to the 'Good Pub Guide' with 5 real ales, an excellent menu and 36 listed wines, it's enjoyed by walkers and talkers, locals and guests alike.




The Hotel

Sun Hotel, Cumbria, Front of Building, 9K

Completed in 1902 and built to overlook the surrounding countryside and enjoy the exceptional fell and mountain views. With accommodation for 1 to 25, there are 10 bedrooms including 3 family rooms (all en suite or with private bathrooms), a large residents lounge and separate bar lounge a few steps away from the pub next door.

The style of the place is deliberately informal and the outcome is a comfortable, relaxed and friendly venue where children and pets are also welcome. It's particularly good for groups & family parties as it becomes, in effect an exclusive fully staffed country house with its own pub next door.




The Conservatory

Sun Hotel, Cumbria, Terrace, 9K
