Dogs are not allowed in the new dining area and it's only open after lunch. The food was so delicious and they did a great job accommodating our large family. Everyone enjoyed their meals. It's a family owned business and it is a great place to stop at. Can't wait to visit again when on holiday.

The staff here couldn't be more helpful as they pushed tables together to accommodate our party and shooing other punters who wanted our seats. When it got too cold outside as the sun was setting we went inside and yet again, the staff were really helpful in finding seats for us all. All the while the place is packed with locals and tourists. Food was coming out of their kitchens a plenty. Lots of hanging kebab dishes that would give Oast House a run for its money and seafood. A great place, and every time we went past (day or night) it seemed busy. Shame we never stopped their for food, but everyone agreed that they would be back!

We had two appetizers, baked Camembert with chutney and mussels in lemon grass chili lime sauce. And great cask beer plus draft Peroni beer.

I certainly would return if not on the meal plan at the Laura Ashley hotel. Harry Reich from PA

We came to eat dinner here on a Sunday night. It was a slow night. The food was good. The service…read morewas slow. Nice decor. I'd say it was overall average. The service was pretty slow for such a slow night. Our drink order took a long time (even long by UK standards). Thankfully we bought a bottle of wine do we didn't have to wait for future drinks. We ordered the pizza with rocket and prosciutto which was really nice. I would definitely recommend it. We also had the chicken teriyaki salad. This was mostly sauce and not a lot of salad. There was also a piece of salmon in it. I was fine with it, but not sure others would be. Would have liked dessert but the servers didn't stop by. I would stop by again when in town to see what it's like on a busier night.

Relax here, the staff is ready to make this luxury even better with whatever you need! Directions to many local hikes or hot coffee on the picnic tables. So much fun to have, there are gardens, strolls, patios and quiet libraries too. This is the most beautiful place I've ever stayed because I can get some rest, unwind and enjoy the great outdoors. Yesterday there was a local marathon- yes!- great runners charged past into the local town of Ambleside. Hikers and dog lovers are here too. National parks close by... what a get-away we are having!!

Brunch, lunch, dinner, and bar snacks are served at the Drunken Duck, and I'd only really recommend booking for dinner. The beer and cider are mostly local I believe. We did the curry bowl to share (vegetarian and VERY tasty - kind of wish I could get the recipe), scampi, fries, and tartare sauce (those fries are to die for!) and the lamb kofta, hummus, flatbread, and mint yoghurt (great for sharing and noshing). There's plenty of parking on the side of the inn. The inside is decorated beautifully (very insta-worthy), so maybe consider renting out for an event. And yes, you can bring your dog to dinner/drinks.

We stayed at the Sun for a weekend in November, and were more than pleased with our visit. Each morning began with a large and delicious free breakfast, included with lodging. The hotel room was nothing short of perfect - a cozy space with a large bed, rustic stone walls, and scenic windows. The staff were friendly and reliable - Gabby had our accomodations ready when we arrived, and we were greeted by managers Alex and Vita, who made the Sun feel very welcoming. Bartenders John and Nathan were very friendly and remarkably knowledgable about the 60+ gins (and therefore 60+ recommended gin cocktails) available in the pub, and also had fantastic recommendations for local hikes and sightseeing. And on Friday night, live music by the talented Jon Sibley accompanied a wonderful dinner. The menu selection was diverse and the food itself was excellent. If you're planning on visiting the Lake District anytime soon, the Sun Inn is absolutely the place to stay!
