The Sun Inn is situated just a short distance from the main square of the village and makes an ideal base from which to explore Ullswater(http://www.ullswater.com ), the North Eastern Lakes and the Eden Valley. (http://www.eden.gov.uk/visit-eden-in-the-lake-district/.)
The Inn was converted from a row of cottages in the 1700's and was originally owned by a blind proprietor, Edward Richardson. Since then the Inn has changed hands several times, and was most recently taken over in 2010 by John and Jane McGuire.
 The Sun is now very much a family run establishment. Sunny by name and by nature, this is one of the most friendly and cheery hostelries in the region. A sizeable whitewashed building with black framed windows. The Sun is covered in climbing greenery and draped in vibrantly coloured hanging baskets in the summer. It has a spacious beer garden and grassy areas to the rear with a fantastic wooden childrens play fort. It also has its own car park, which is strictly for patrons only. Inside the Inn the décor is simple and warm with low, wood beamed ceilings, tables, chairs and panelled walls.
The Sun Inn is renowned for its Real Ales and has been received awards from Cask Marque and features in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Several ales are available from the local Jennings Brewery, regular ales being Cumberland Ale, Snecklifter, Cock-a-Hoop and a continually changing guest ale. For non Real Ale drinkers there is also Stella, Fosters, Strongbow and Guinness on draught.
Food is of the highest quality and is served at lunchtime and in the evening in the bars, beer garden and dining room.
