The Sun

Four of us ate here on 21st May. Two of family are vegan. The staff and chef went out of their way to produce four lovely meals for us. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended *****

The staff were exceptional
Very grateful to Jessica for changing our room to meet our needs.
All staff were friendly and welcoming.
Breakfast was fantastic, and our waitress was kind and very funny.
All their Staff seem happy to be here which makes a lovely atmosphere.

Called in for a drink and just made it before they finished serving food at lunchtime. We had a beef baguette and a bowl of chips and it was really lovely. What really made it for us though was the extremely friendly and accommodating lady that served us. She really is an asset to this establishment. We will definitely be calling again during our holiday.

Excellent, authentic pub with outstanding food! Recommended location by locals, wasn't disappointed at all. Staff are cordial and welcoming, highly recommended!

Brilliant food. Lovely building and the staff were so nice.
Not on the main route in Coniston so go and find it, because after a week here, this place was the best for food in Coniston.
Lovely 😍

Lovely pub great atmosphere great pint of guiness we had the venison black pudding blue cheese burgers 10/10 will be returning next time we are in the area 5 star

Very friendly and lively hotel and bar but all in a good way. Noticeable that other pubs in Coniston tend to attract more visitors than locals, whereas the Sun has a good band of locals that make for a convivial atmosphere. Not eating meat we found the official menu a bit limiting for dinner, but on talking to staff it seemed more vegetarian options could be available - on the Sunday evening we had an enormous nut roast with all trimmings and sensitivity prepared fresh vegetables. Perfectly cooked fish, great sticky toffee and excellent beers. Hotel well positioned for walking directly up all the local mountains including the Old Man, Wetherlam, Dow Crag and Swirl How with no need for a car. Staff wonderful, ditto the owners and the other guests. Very enjoyable long weekend.

Fantastic pub. Lots of ales to choose from. Great value for money.

After a tiring ramble up Coniston Old Man we went to the Sun Inn for some tea. We sat by the fire to warm up and filled ourselves with beer and pie. The Sun had a great atmosphere and the staff were lovely, we were very happy campers by the time we were heading back to the campsite to sleep it all off. Would absolutely consider staying here in the future.

Lovelly staff lovelly room good for the walk for old man of conniston good parking area very helpful staff fantastic food just come back from easter weekend every thing about the sun inn is great I have been 3 times this year cant wait to go back pete paraman

What a gem - stunning pub, stunning location, amazing food. I’ve never had a gammon steak as thick - delicious. All seven of us really enjoyed our dinners and desserts. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Whatever the weather, the indoor and outdoor areas are both superb. We will definitely return the next time we are in Coniston. Thank you the Sun!

Eclectic, eccentric character pub perched on the hill above the beautiful village of Coniston. We stayed for a night and thoroughly enjoyed the hotel, the ale and the service. The breakfast included a full English and was five stars.

What a lovely pub. We stayed in Coniston for a week and came here twice. The food was really good, we especially liked the daily specials and tried the fish pie and hake. The location is stunning, overlooking beautiful countryside and the staff are so friendly and helpful. There is a kids' play area and it's dog friendly. Highly recommend.

Brilliant place what a hidden gem
Our friend loves this place so we decided to come and check it out

We parked on the public car park and had a walk round coniston

We then walked up to the sun wow the ales lovely, bar man funny had a laugh and we had a snack the loaded chips with chicken lovely

We saw the Sunday dinners coming out wow they looked delicious

Go and check out I don’t think you will leave

Our friend stays here and the rooms are always clean and comfortable and the breakfast again is fantastic

They do have a car park too

We will definitely be back 😊

We stopped in here for a drink after a long day of hiking and mountain climbing. That was the best tasting Aspall cider ever! Learned lots of historic facts about the town and the hotel on this visit. Beautiful outdoor seating overlooking the area we hiked. I look forward to returning again someday.

What a beautiful pub in a beautiful place! The guy behind the bar were super nice too! Definitely recommend! The salt and pepper fries looked delicious on the next table and we will be ancl to try them!!

Fantastic garden views of the fells - best view of any pub I've visited across the UK. Good ale selection. They have stopped serving food currently though although I wasn't there for food. Good to know if you plan on eating here, best to check as it was a temporary thing.

One of the best pubs in Coniston. Great beer and great food. The outside terrace is amazing in the sun. Cosy inside with a real fire when it's cold. Amazing Sunday roasts 😋

Excellent, traditional Lakeland pub. Probably the best in the village.

We stopped off for our tea before our drive back home after a lovely day with our friends and puppies. Staff are lovely and kind, the service and food was great. The food is just what you need after a day out on the lake, very tasty and filling. Amazing views and dog friendly!! The decor inside was fresh and cosey. Perfect little hotel. I'm so glad we found it. What more can you want. We can't wait to stay over on our next visit. I highly recommend to all our family and friends. Thank you so much it's beautiful! X
