The Sun  

In Coniston, a short drive from the John Ruskin Museum and minutes from the Beatrix Potter Gallery. About 6.4 miles from Lake Windermere and 4.2 miles from Coniston Water. A family-friendly, pet-friendly inn sitting in town with easy access to local walks and lake activities.

Set above a 16th‑century pub with a hotel added in 1902, The Sun blends old‑world charm with simple modern comforts. Eight guestrooms feature flat‑screen TVs and striking mountain and forest views. The boat room is a social hub with a pool table, darts, large TV and memorabilia celebrating Donald Campbell. The property is smoke‑free and has a small playground for kids.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free on‑site self parking make arrivals easy. Pets are welcome. Enjoy lively evenings at the pub with up to eight real ales on tap, casual family spaces and nearby boating and walking options. Wake up to mountain views and step straight into Lake District adventures.

On-site The Sun Inn serves as a bistro and bar/lounge, plus there's a coffee shop/café. The free house specialises in real ales (up to eight on the bar) and offers classic pub fare. A complimentary breakfast is served daily from 8:30–9:00 AM.
