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.

Property under construction so in 2-3 months the property will most likely be improved. Staff was great, location was perfect, and pub and garden is delightful. Great value and quaint town.

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 😊

You get what you pay for

Cheap and cheerful but rooms very run down wallpaper peeling off walls old decor etc. Poor nights sleep due to very uncomfortable bed and single glazed sash window very noisy, fully understand they can’t change due to been listed but very noisy, especially when Tesco get a delivery at 5 in morning. Massive room but no where to work in room. Staff very friendly and great location

Not a pleasant stay

My night stay was terrible nowhere in the description dose it mention that the pub is open till 2:30am and it’s more like a night club on a night than a pub the music blasting out the back with flashing lights my room was too warm we had to prop the window open with a glas because it wouldn’t stay open we went to try hang our clothes up on the rail and it fell forward and nearly hit my partner on the head the toilet moved when you sat on it the tv didn’t work we tried tuning it in but it just wouldn’t work

For what we paid for the room it was very spacious, clean and tidy and conveniently located for the purpose of our stay. Yes it was noisy around but when you are stay in a town centre it is no different to any other town centre,it is as expected. That said, the bed was comfortable enough and with a pair of earplugs it was comfortable enough for our two day stayover. The staff were polite and helpful and the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The caffetiere with the coffee was like a full bag of coffee had been poured into it and was like rocket fuel,but we are coffee lovers and it was deliscious non the less. No amenities were provided, however, given the price I wouldnt expect this. Conveniently there is a tesco express right next door and boots a few doors down so easy to buy and travel essentials you have forgotten to pack. Room was nice and cool and had a TV with freeview and tea, coffee and hot chocolate available in the room which was a nice touch. The room could have done with a minor lick of paint along one wall, but as I said previously, for an inexpensive hotel compared to other places 3/4 times the price in the area, this was a great option. Accesibility may be hard for disabled/less able bodied people as lots of stairs but sure the hotel would provide a lower level floor if requested. Overall feel nice and quite homely. Would stay here again.
