Stayed for one night. We were warned and prepared for noise as they play live music until the early hours. However we were woken up early morning by strange scratching noises coming from overhead (top floor room). When I contacted the hotel they told me these were birds on the roof - I'm not so sure as it seemed to be coming from the loft space. We paid for a 'deluxe' room and there was lots of damp issues on the walls and ceilings. Generally felt dingy. Breakfast was tasty. Parking, whilst they warn is limited, was impossible as most of the car park is taken up with piles of garden furniture and a large gazebo. Disappointed given the price.

Hi, I had a spacious room, fab complimentary supplies, nice style of bathroom, plenty of space to put my belongings if I'd had more with me, there would have been plenty of room. Absolutely wonderful staff, went above and beyond and lovely to have the chance to pop downstairs and feel welcomed and safe moreover. I'll be coming back as soon as possible. Thank you

The Sun Inn is in the centre of Ulverston with limited parking available, but they are honest and open about this and I didn't struggle to park as it was early in the week. The hotel is old and dated, but has hot water and clean bedding. Given I wasn't in the room for long periods this was fine, but might not be if you want to spend time indoors. Don't be expecting anything out of the ordinary, it is ordinary but served the purpose of shower, bed and sleep. Although if you're a light sleeper the seagulls might give you an early morning call.

I was disappointed that only offering continental breakfast, I had to go to the pub at the top of the street at 9 am, so it made it a late day

A very pleasant stay and a great Pride after party

I was greeted by a very friendly and helpful host who showed me to my room and told me about the events of the coming weekend. The pub website says that it can be noisy because they have late night events but up on the second (or was it third floor) it was actually fairly quiet even with the Pride after party going on after midnight. The pub has a small car park that was never full in the week I was there. The location is perfect, right in the centre of Ulverston and within easy walking distance of bus stops for trips to Coniston and Windermere as well as the railway station for trips along the coast. I think the only negative point is one that the Sun has in common with most other hotels, not enough teabags!

The staff were lovely . Friendly and helpful . The building is incredibly run down, the basic room we booked was very very basic, dusty and not very clean, also had a funny smell. only 2 sets of towels and 2 cups, there was 3 booked to stay . Asked for extra towel and it was dumped outside the door . Carpets have seen better days . Room was serviceable , but as mentioned not very clean . We was too tired to complain after travelling to Dave Day from down in West Sussex . Breakfast also wasnt good . Everything except the egg and bacon had been through the deep fat frier ! and a poor quality of ingredients . Coffee was luke warm. Staff were nice though and welcoming, good job guys and the notice of loud music was appreciated.

One night stopover

Staying for one night meant I wasn't looking for 5 star,The Sun is in the heart of the town,ideal for my needs. As expected its an old building with an old feel. Free parking was good,checking in at the bar wasn't a problem but some people might not like it. My room was on the top floor to mitigate noise from a very busy and noisy bar ,again it didn't bother me but some would be pretty upset I imagine. Food was good especially the breakfast,usually I get buffet style but this was fresh and excellent. Staff were attentive and came to check all was OK and any needs. Bargain price but I was aware of noise etc so have no complaints. All in all ,old,worn but huge bed,clean and I would stay again.

Absoloutely lovely central location. The staff on the bar were fab blokes (a young lad who’s name I didn’t catch and a chap I believe was called Richard). We had the chicken parmo share board and I could eat it again and again. Room was budget and basic but comfortable for a one night stay. Only issue was a leaky shower but again for one night not a problem and I have emailed the hotel directly so they can get it fixed. Beware of the one way system driving through the town square as it can make finding the car park difficult and it’s rather tight to get into! Overall a lovely stay and we’d stay again next time we’re up that way. Thanks Sun Inn 😊
