About The Sun
A stone-built inn spread across two floors, The Sun occupies a quiet spot on Sun Hill above Coniston, with the fells and Coniston Water within easy reach. The building has the low ceilings and settled character of a traditional Lake District pub, and its position gives guests a good base for walking straight from the door.
There are 8 rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, and the hotel offers 24 hour reception so arrivals and departures aren't tied to fixed hours. A restaurant and bar serve food and local ales on site, breakfast is included, and drinks can be brought to the room. Free WiFi is available throughout, and luggage storage is useful for anyone heading straight out onto the fells. Free on-site parking makes it simple to arrive by car.
Pets are welcome, so dogs can join walkers on the surrounding paths. Beyond the hotel there are further pubs, bars and restaurants nearby, along with entertainment options, giving guests choices beyond the in-house menu. Coniston itself sits close by, with its walking routes and the lake making up the main draw of a stay here.
