On first arrival it seemed a very noisy place in the pub, however it was Valentine’s Day! Staff were lovely and check in easy. Very very quiet in the rooms, which was ideal for us! With the pub being so busy they let us order food and have it up in our room as we just wanted a quiet night due to being on a multi day hike. A massive bonus there was a bath in the room and the water was lovely and hot! Room was warm, beds comfy.
Defo not a deal breaker but as we wanted an early start back on our walking route we had to skip breakfast as it was too late for us! But certainly didn’t spoil anything for us.

Location was superb, great to walk with my dog. Shops very close by plus other eateries and pubs if you want a change. Chris was very friendly and helpful. Cosy with log fires always lit.
Shower was powerful with lots of hot water. Friendly staff too.
Single bedroom was quite small, the mattress on the bed was mega uncomfortable, I hardly slept the first night however after letting the owner know, it was resolved the same day.

Lovely location, polite staff, good beer , very clean and comfortable bed
The room was dated and could have done with a spruce up, unfortunately the shower drain hole was very slow or partially blocked, by the time I could get a decent water temperature the shower tray had filled with water, I didn’t want to flood the place, very disappointing after a long days hiking, I would have reported the shower when we checked out but no one was around

The inn was warm and welcoming
There was loud music coming from the kitchen till it closed at 8pm, the shower drained so slow you had to stop in the middle of a shower to let it drain.

Lovely stay, rooms clean and warm. Great to have free parking and the location was excellent in the middle of the village and less than 5 minute walk to the lake. Would happily stay again.

Breakfast not available at the Inn, had to go to another hotel.Food there was excellent
Asked for room on ground floor for mobility problems, there were no rooms at all
My single room was adequate but the bathroom was not equipped with any place for toothbrush
Or for anyone with mobility problems.
Also there was a really bad smell in the room
Which apparently was coming from blocked drains below There was no offer of another roomJust

It was a nice hotel and it was ideal for our stay.
Not a complaint as such, but the vegetarian options could be better. On that note the other pubs in the village had limited veggie options too so there is room for improvement all round here. On the plus side the food we ate at the hotel was good though. We would stay here again and we would recommend this place 🙂

Free car park & WIFI. Staff were friendly enough when went in the first afternoon. The room looked onto the road & wasn't noisy at night. But the room was clean, the key to the room was on a Hugh piece of wood which was difficult to put in Jeans pocket when taking the dog out in the morning. I would possibly stay again but I would ask for a different room.
We were in room 4 & during the day when we were in the room the noise from below us was very irritating. It was October and windy outside. Unsure what we were over but all you could hear was some music that wasn't very good and metal barrels continually rolling. We ordered one meal in the Sun chicken wings & chips. I informed the lady the chips were raw in parts and the dog ate most of them. The bed itself, mainly the pillows were very uncomfortable.

Good location and friendly staff - when you saw them!
In need of full makeover. Old cobwebs in our room. Not really like the pictures. Ran out of chips, fries, onion bhajis and white coffee on the first night. Needless to say we didn’t eat there again. Breakfast no longer available.

Kitchen closed, bed absolutely awful, radiator that made noises that kept me awake all night long, also a bulkhead light outside the window that was on all night and the curtains did nothing to stop the light shining through. I left the premises at 5.30am the following morning shattered. Rang to complain on fri 26th was told someone would get back to me, heard nothing so rang back sun 28th , was told we are really busy someone will be in touch next week, heard nothing even after two emails to two different addresses for the sun inn and they both bounced back, not delivered ! Just tried ringing again and no one answered at 6pm. Awesome customer service

the staff were very friendly, only i arrived late evening, to be told that breakfast is no longer available even though my booking was for bed and breakfast, l was only staying there as going on a long hike, luckily the crown do breakfast, but is expensive for non residents. The chef very kindly offered to get up and make me a breakfast, but every other guest had accepted that there was no breakfast available l did not want to be the only one, plus the chef was propping up the bar necking pints, wasnt sure if he would be reliable.
the hand sink did not drain in my bathroom, i very nearly flooded the bathroom

Perfect location in the centre of Pooley Bridge
Reasonably priced compared to other accommodation in the area
We were able to take our dogs
Tea and coffee making facilities were good and there was a nice big bathroom with a great shower
The room was okay but the bed was very soft and the furnishings were a bit tired. But given what we paid compared to other accommodation in the area it was perfectly acceptable

The bedroom room was poor. The bed and ceiling were covered in fruit flies. The shower head was covered in mould and had to be wiped clean with toilet paper. The bed mattress was far too soft. Very disappointed definitely not worth the money.
