The Sun Hotel & Bar

A great stay celebrating our wedding anniversary. From arrival the staff were welcoming and the guy who checked us in went above and beyond, showing us to our room. As it was our Wedding Anniversary they very kindly upgraded us to the suite which is fantastic with a lovely comfortable large double bed. The bar area is very welcoming and a large range of drinks are available, just the trick for our afternoon celebrations. Breakfast the next morning was very good, and as we booked direct with the hotel it was included in the room rate. Top tip bok direct. Overall very good stay.

Right in the city centre was a brilliant location everything right on your doorstep. Rooms.. The room was spacious lovely and clean with tea and coffee facilities everything we needed. shower was hot and powerful towels were thick and soft .The staff are lovely and welcoming nothing was to much for them breakfast was lovely i had a garden breakfast and my husband had a full English breakfast was tasty and hot wouldn't hesitate to go back in the future.

Last minute decision to get away, we booked here at less than 24 hours notice and I’m so glad we did! The level of rooms we wanted were sold out but we got free upgrades so we could be next to each other. The rooms were fantastic - large and comfortable. The rainfall shower in our bathroom was gorgeous. All the staff really friendly and helpful. The beer was good, as was the food (the black pudding and goats cheese bonbons, hallomi chips and steak pie were particular standouts). Breakfast was good as well.|I’d make plans around staying here again, next time we’re travelling north.

Lovely room. Bed was comfy and the shower, excellent. Be careful of the hot water! Breakfast had a wide range to choose from and was delicious. We had quite a few drinks in the bar and all the staff were very pleasant, respectful and helpful. Great beer garden too. We ate in the bar. We had the Smorgasbord and it was worth every penny. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice and central. Quaint rooms. Small but comfy. Very noisy in the morning but we had to be up early to feed the parking meter at 8am. Only 1 hour allowed outside. Great food and a good range of beers. Best of all, no dogs.

Excellent experience throughout, staff attentive, polite and efficient. City centre location, food very good, excellent selection of drinks including ales. Downsize was the room, it was a last minute booking in fairness, the room very small and on one the hottest days of the year it was stifling. Breakfast was equally very good to excellent, overall a wonderful experience and couldn’t fault any of the staff. Thank you

A warm reception from Tom on our arrival. Taken to a spacious room, extremely comfortable. The meal in the evening at the bar was fabulous only beaten by a delightful breakfast. Staff all helpful and friendly. Service efficient too. For added interest time has been taken to share a little bit of history of this unique venue. All in all a good recommendation from our son. Will stay again without hesitation.

Second stay at The Sun Inn and just as good as the first. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. The rooms was clean and spacious and well appointed. We stayed on a busy Saturday night, the bar was busy and there was a wait for food to be served, which was explained and was expected so no problem. Few beers taken whilst we waited. Food was very good. The room we had overlooked the rear beer garden and there was some noise (to be expected) from outside whilst trying to get of to sleep (for one of us, the other had some magic sleeping potion). Good nights sleep, a lie in before a pre ordered Full English and Garden English breakfast which were both freshly prepared and some of the best we've had.

A delightful Hotel and bar with fine food and great ambiance. Friendly staff. Can get busy but nice atmosphere and comfy seating and sofas. Rooms flow from one to the other and a nice local place to unwind after work or shopping.

Amazing coffee and real ales. Should my review finish there? Maybe - but there's more you need to know about the Sun Inn, way more! First of all it's one of the favourite hangouts of very tasteful people... those being some of my best friends in Lancaster. Secondly, it's bloody gorgeous. You want a cosy, rustic, boutiquey pub in what I've come to call 'The Edinburgh of the North West'? Walk right this way. Want to see how pretty it is? You only have to check this cinemagram from my fiancé: http://cinemagr.am/show/4336818 Look at that. What a backdrop it provides. Gnarled branches with fairylights = one of my favourite things ever. Big wooden tables, locally roasted coffee (a coffee my maid of honour recommends wholeheartedly, and it has its own shop around the corner. I do believe it's called Atkinsons. http://www.thecoffeehopper.com After our epic roasts we needed a pick-me-up, and I opted for black while she had a fab-looking latte. We also got biscuits as standard. (That should be a rule, everywhere. No exceptions. If Font Bar can give out entire Freddos with every brew, all establishments should at least be able to manage a Lotus biscuit.) The food looks amazeballs here, perhaps a little pricey for a casual lunch but great for a treat, and potentially truly delicious. The atmopshere's lovely, the staff friendly, and we've had wine here too which has always been tasty, offered in some of the prettiest wine glasses I ever did see. And fruit beer on tap? I can see why this could easily become a Lancastrian's local.

I iiked it in there, it was very packed for a Saturday night, which is always good. The service at the bar was a bit slow and there wasn't enough range of lagers to my liking. The interior & decor was nice and I was impressed with the furniture. I would certainly pay a visit to the pub if I was in the city centre again.

Great place, my favourite place in Lancaster to sit and have a drink - you'd never be worried about getting in a fight in here. Pints aren't particularly cheap, not much for less than £3.50, but then again, it keeps the bingers away, not that I claim I'm not one. Also, it gets very busy on a Friday night - prepare to stand unless you get in nice and early. I haven't much experience with the food, however, the one sandwich I had here was very good, generous amounts of everything, not expensive either.

In a town with plenty of choice for excellent real ale this place stands out as a star. Owned by the local brewery it usually has 4 of their ales on plus a few guests. Hasn't been a big foody place but they seem to be making more effort on that area. Always busy at the weekends and lovely exposed walls and features including a well in the little room near the back! The customer base seems to be the more well heeled of the city so the atmosphere is good. Recomended as not one to miss if you are visiting lancaster.

Comfortable stay. Amazing how well kept the place is as it was built in 1680. Jen was fantastic. She was the receptionist, the server, the concierge, etc. All with a big smile. Would definitely come back again if I am around the area. Good sleep, good food, great beers. What else can you ask for in a hotel. I am sure there were other staff there, but somehow they don't make an impression.

My wife and I made reservations here based on a friends recommendation.. We were very pleased. It was a small quaint hotel. Room was well decorated and very comfortable. The check-jn desk was around behind the bar in a small nook. He was very pleasant and as we had arrived very early, he took our luggage and even brought it to our room once it was ready, awaiting our return. The room includes breakfast, and WOW! That was totally amazing. There was too much food. There is a cold buffet, cereals, fresh fruit cocktail, breads, yogurts teas and coffees, and juice. Then you get to choose from 5 items out of about 15 on their hot selection menu.... Lots of meats, eggs, potatoes, grilled tomatoes... It was all delicious. My only complaint was that there were 3 radiators in the room for heat, (turned off as it was not even cool). There was no AC, which I understand, but there was no way to get fresh air. The one window that was even possible to be open in our room was screwed shut. The first afternoon the room got a little stuffy, but the rest of our two day stay it was fine. There was even a towel radiator in the bathroom, which we tried to turn off as we really wanted no additional heat sources for the room, but that caused a leak. We ended up just keeping the bathroom door shut, when created a warm/toasty bathroom.
