Sun Inn

Had a fantastic stay at The Sun Inn in Kirkby Lonsdale — easily one of the best country pub stays we’ve had. The room was clean, well appointed, and had lots of thoughtful touches that made it feel genuinely comfortable rather than just standard. The staff were a real highlight — warm, welcoming and attentive throughout without ever being over the top. Great atmosphere, great food, and a place that gets the balance just right between relaxed pub and boutique stay. We genuinely considered extending our stay, which says it all. Would absolutely return.

Our overnight stay at the Sun Inn was a wonderful experience! Everyone from the cleaning ladies to the receptionists were genuine, helpful, very friendly and serviceminded. All the rooms I saw were quaint, well equipped and cozy. We were even fortunate to be upgraded to room number 12 that had a fantastic view over the Church and graveyard full of daffodils! The bed was extremely comfortable and the big bathtub was the icing on the cake for me. Tasty breakfast as well. We’d love to come back some day.

This is a really lovely place to stay if visiting the area. Kirkby Lonsdale is set in beautiful countryside with Ruskin's View being a real stunner. The staff at the Sun Inn were very welcoming being both friendly and genuine. The rooms are very inviting with a clever use of space with a really comfortable bed and bedding. As for the meal we had, well it was really exceptional. The roast sirloin of beef was perfect and so tender and tasty.. they obviously have a top notch chef and team in the kitchen. Highly recommended as a place o stay and eat..

Dined here for lunch on Easter Sunday. The atmosphere was nice despite it being a very busy period. The food was also really tasty and priced reasonably for a special meal. The reason for the two stars was unfortunately there was concerningly poor care taken around management of allergies. The allergen menu was not up to date (both the cauliflower main and the bread board were listed as free from milk, but were served with a yoghurt drizzle and dairy butter respectively). When we mentioned this, we were first told we had misread it (we hadn't which they agreed when we showed them) and then we were told it was marked as free of the allergen because it could, if needed, be served without the dairy. This is not how an allergen menu works - if this was the case, it should have been clearly stated that it was free of milk only if served without yoghurt drizzle or butter and it didn't mention that and it was only on our direct enquiry that they confirmed there was indeed dairy on those dishes. (Incidentally, when we asked the waitress to check if the yoghurt drizzle was dairy, she asked another waitress who didn't know and suggested asking the chef, to which the first waitress responded "I can't be arsed with this" - not very professional). Further to this, for desert we ordered a dairy-free sorbet for the toddler with severe (life- threatening) dairy allergy which the service team had been aware of, but were served with dairy ice cream. This could have been serious had we not noticed when it was served. The team acknowledged and apologised, and as a gesture removed the sorbet and service charge from our bill, but it was a disappointing experience all the same. I wouldn't usually write a review but I would recommend avoiding if you have an allergy until they can demonstrate that they take allergies seriously and update their training and allergen menu.
