I didn’t request the most expensive bedroom but the one allocated was small, partly due to the inclusion of a bathroom. This seems a problem now - unless you pay for a large room, the expectation that each room has to be en-suite spoils the original room space in older hotels and you don’t know what you’ll get. If you think of staying at the Sun other than as a single occupant, I suggest you specifiy a large room if staying for more than two nights. There was no room for a chair other than the dressing table stool. There is a secondary bar area with seating in the restaurant side but it was not open for residents, obliging anyone wishing to sit rather than lie on a bed, to do so in a bar with its background noise.

Breakfast was fine. A ‘typical’ English pub stay. Car parking available as advertised. Cleanliness okay. Bar seems busy apparently with locals.

Public areas could do with decorating.

Great location & views, lots of walks & beaches nearby. Hotel staff helpful friendly. Plenty of parking. Great to have a room with a bath not a shower !

Our friends said the staff were not welcoming. There was some confusion over an evening meal- being told they could order but have to wait half an hour to then being told over an hour to then being told they weren’t taking any orders at all. They ended up at the pub around the corner. Not really the point of staying at the sun.

I bought a stay here for friends previously who couldn’t rate it higher. I then purchased again for some other friends. They said it was comfortable.

The bedroom was rather small. No space for 2 pull-along cases.

Loved the local kippers for breakfast. Loved the view of the castle from our bedroom window.

Well, the weather could have been better. It would have been nice if when we were eating in the actual hotel we could have eaten from the bar menu as it all came from the same kitchen

My wife and I brought my sister on a nostalgic trip, Our family have been staying here for around 100 years, It is 70 years since we had stayed there. We were pleased to find that not too many changes had been made. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful, the breakfast was very good indeed , The evening meal in the dining room was adequate, the second night we ate in the bar and found there were more choices but overall the food was good. We all enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend the hotel, Warkworth and Northumberland as the place to visit.

Room was ok - taps in the bathroom were a little slow for water to come through as was the shower - a soap dish would have been nice.

The breakfast was lovely. The location is great. A lovely walk, although windy on the way back - to Amble.

not as nice as it looks in that photo needs new bed mattress it's sunk in middle and give you a bad back the seat has stains on it, the fan extractor needs a good old clean never been done for some years looking at it if your stopping in the bridle suite it's very noisy from the banging of the pup door right underneath you same with all the guest rooms front doors its a hell of a shock if your asleep and they close them they could do with something to stop the them banging hard and I no its down to people them self's to quietly close them but most people forget needs a new KETTLE desperately, A cordless one the kettle has a 15 inch cord on it so if like me with arthritis in the back is a nightmare to neel on floor to unplug to pour a cuppa out, and for the price kettle's are, needs new lamp electrician tapes holding the bulb in needs a bit colour in the room it's very dull it's not gold lucking like in the photo or a silver, hotel pub drinks not so amazing £6.90 for a pint of cider, ok rant over in a second you could make the room outstanding with not a lot of money like it should be if your paying for a wedding there

breakfast was lovely Sunday lunch was amazing view of castle was lovely

Nice traditional English inn, good sized room, lovely breakfast and comfy bed.

The room was very small. A good hotel room should always have space for at least one comfortable chair.

The breakfast was EXCELLENT! There was a very good choice of options and it was served by attentive and friendly staff.
