The Sun Inn in South Lakeland

A great stay in a lovely hotel. Service and staff brilliant. Couldn't ask for more. Would definitely recommend and have already booked my next visit.

Surprised at the good reviews! Because of them we booked a meal here. No atmosphere, food below average, portions small and overpriced. Starters were honestly minute. Ordered fish and chips and the portion of tartare sauce was bigger than the portion of mushy peas. You could count the chips with just 2 hands. When asked how the food was I replied “only ok” presumably the manager/owner, an older gentleman didn’t bat an eyelid, not interested at all. Plenty of other lovely places, don’t bother with this one for a meal. We booked for a Friday at 7 and it was virtually empty, that tells you something.

We had a great stay at the Sun Inn on a bed and breakfast deal rooms were clean comfortable and warm breakfast were very good

We had a dinner bb deal. Cosy twin advertised but it was lovely and roomy and spotless. Comfy beds. Excellent service. Food was superbly cooked. A lovely warm Inn. A parking overnight permit was given to us too. Totally loved our girls walking break.

Gorgeous pub in a lovely spot, great food, helpful staff, toilets spotless & dog friendly.. Couldn't ask for more

Lovely food and atmosphere. Had a meal for two here over Christmas break. Real fire and very cosy.

Once again, thank you Jenny and the team for giving us a lovely stay in your beautiful inn. This time we only stayed bed & breakfast, we chose room 10 which we like. As always it was warm, cosy and spotlessly clean, and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the morning. It really is a credit to you all, see you soon!

Booked a table here for New Year’s Eve a good few days before the actual day as a last minute getaway to support the local community after recent events to be called up New Year’s Eve morning at 10am to say they were unable to accept our booking. Very disappointing and very bad management. Sort of spoiled our time in Kirkby as we were unable to get a table elsewhere last minute as everywhere else was quite obviously booked up. Sometimes a sorry is just not good enough.

Lovely place, great staff and service. Stopped in for some lunch, pictured parsnip soup. Worth a visit if in the area.

Lovely hotel and room. Beautiful location, and we were there for the xmas market. We never managed to have breakfast, as we were evacuated from our room due to a nearby building on fire 🔥

You always receive a warm welcome when entering this pub which has the most historic & architecturally pleasing facade in KL. It’s only Monday but they still manage to have 4 cask ales on - 3 of them brewed locally. If visiting for the first time - do visit St Mary’s churchyard directly behind the Sun.

What a gem of a place, right in the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale. Rooms were great, breakfast delicious and service and staff excellent. Unfortunately we didn't have a roast, as they had run out by the time it was our turn to dine. We were not disappointed by the other menu options...lovely food. Will definitely book early to have a roast next visit as looked lovely. Very popular place and super dog friendly!! Loved it ..can't wait to go back!!

Not the most obvious place unless youre going to view something that way. Wasnt very busy when i went so naturally the service was spot on. I know a few people came in for food which wasnt available so possibly not the most informative. Beer was great.

Very helpful and polite bar staff located in the town centre of kirkby lonsdale

Great potential, unfortunately the bar area was cold. It would have been great to have the log fire lit. Lukewarm coffee, lukewarm soup and stale bread! Disappointing.

Fantastic food and friendly service

How can you be in Kirkby Lonsdale and not want to experience a place as cosy and ancient as this?

Cracking friendly pub with comfy family dog friendly rooms & a brilliant breakfast

The food and pub itself was lovely but the service wasn't good. The younger guy was pleasant but the tall older lady seemed to be looking for a reason for us to not eat there. When we tried to order food at a pub where very few people were eating (at 5 pm), we were abruptly asked if we booked. When I said no I was told they had to check with chef (who said it was ok). She then inspected the next table reservation due at 7 pm and realised she couldn't refuse us for that reason. I honestly felt unwelcome here and this is now the second time with the same person.

Went for dinner, and the food, especially halibut, was excellent quality and well priced. Good service, relaxed ambience, and dog friendly.
