Sun Inn

'A beautifully appointed small hotel with above-average food.' Praise from a regular correspondent this year for Lucy and Mark Fuller's white-painted 17th-century inn on the narrow street of a Cumbrian market town. 'The welcome couldn't have been warmer; this is an upmarket inn with a clean, contemporary style,' is a comment from a visitor in 2012. The Fullers are part of an 'excellent small team which knows how to make guests feel wanted'. The bar and restaurant have flagstone and oak floors, exposed beams, log fires, leather seating. In the restaurant, chef Charlotte Norfolk serves 'delicious' seasonal dishes like caramelised pear, Fine Fettle (Yorkshire feta cheese); slow-roasted belly of pork, creamed cabbage, toffee apple. The bedrooms have 'elegant' furnishings, modern bathroom. 'Our room was small but inviting; bright and light it had a lovely view of the churchyard; it was well appointed (quality teas and coffees with home-made shortbread).' A 'delicious' breakfast had a 'good sideboard of home-made granola, freshly squeezed orange juice'; 'fine' cooked dishes brought to the table; 'toast when you want it'. (Humphrey Norrington, Caroline Till)

  • A beautifully appointed,well-run small hotel with good food. The beds were comfortable and the rooms well thought out. Room 7 looks over the church and is very special. Delicious breakfast. At dinner a good choice of main courses; sensible wine list. Staff excellent throughout. Owners Lucy and Mark Fuller were part of the team who looked after us. Only hazard is the parking.
