I was here at the beginning of June and had Sunday lunch here... Now I'm not complaining over price as I got a large diet coke, bottle of magners and two turkey Sunday lunches for £26 but the standard of the food was a little style over substance! It looked great but in fact it was a little below average!... More

Great little pub, great beer. Busy at weekends with campers/walkers. Usually always a friendly welcome, plus they allow dogs! Great! The Sun is the best pub in Pooley Bridge - never go to the Crown, down the road, its absolute rubbish!

This was a great pub/hotel for our long weekend although it would be just as good for much longer stays. The present owner has had the hotel for 3 years and really makes you welcome. The room was large, modern, nice and clean and tidy with a large walk in shower. The English breakfast was very good with lots of... More

A very friendly hostelry placed in an idyllic village on the banks of Ulswater. The Hosts were very friendly and could not do enough for us. Accommodation was a good standard and food was good and reasonably priced defo a return visit calling

It's been a few years since I visited the Sun Inn and I have to say that everything seems to have improved for the better. The food was always of the heat in a microwave variety. It's clearly had some refurbishment and the fire and atmosphere in the bottom bar was extremely welcoming. Dogs are also welcome on a lead... More

Another fab stay at the Sun Inn! This is the ideal place to stay if you're a keen walker as it's very central and accessible to all local walks. The breakfast is excellent and the staff are so friendly. John & Jane (proprietors) went out of their way to make our New Year memorable. Nothing is too much trouble. We... More
