Great stay

From check in to check out, staff were really friendly. As a solo traveller I felt safe at all times. The pub itself seemed very friendly. The breakfast was lovely and the chef was very accomodating, cooking my order to my request. Would certainly stay again.

Fantastic stay

This was a little Gem staff were excellent friendly and very friendly on entering I was met by Dan the manager at the Bar who showed me to my room. I didn't have food as I was very tired after my long drive from Edinburgh on my way home to Carmarthenshire but if it is anything to go by breakfast I missed out as my meal in the morning was excellent I've stayed in a lot of big hotels in my time and they could take a leaf out of their book for a small tavern giving you so many choices It beats them hands down a great big thanks to Dan and his staff

Wonderful food and genuinely friendly staff. We enjoyed our two night stay and would have given 5* if the mattress wasn’t ’tired & lumpy’!

Lovely place

Had a lovely stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Room was nice and cosy, comfy bed, plenty tea and coffee. Perhaps could do with a little bit cleaner floor and carpet but overall I'm happy with my stay.

Fine Ale and a Fantastic Breakfast

From the onset of my arrival to my departure I was made to feel at home. A selection of 5 ales to satisfy the evening and a breakfast not matched anywhere. 9 different items on your plate as well as toast on the side made this the most fulfilling and satisfying breakfast I have ever had when on the road and I would welcome it again. I would recommend the Sun Inn to anyone staying in the area and I would even suggest it is worth a detour to say here.

Had a really comfortable 2-night stay (24/25/2022). My room (Cow!) was en-suite with a comfortable bed and ample tray with a small kettle and plentiful supply of tea, coffee and drinking chocolate. Food in the bar was both good well presented. Great breakfast with plenty of choice in the morning - I could only manage a part full breakfast - the whole offering would have been massive!! The bar was well frequented by locals - nice outside area available as well. Highly recommended.
