Our room was clean and comfortable - very charming. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Loved the quaint atmosphere - the meals in the gastropub were very tasty. The only concern we had is that the bed was a little too hard for us and the pillows too soft - but features like that are very subjective so that might not be a problem for you! The Inn is situated on a main road so can get very busy at times. Our room did overlook the road but once the window was closed and blinds drawn it was quieter. Again, didn’t bother us but something to keep in mind if you need peace & quiet. All in all a lovely place to spend a few nights and/or a lovely meal

Clean presentable and nice welcoming staff. For info, nearest station is Eskbank and whilst route planners say 20 minutes walk that is via a public footpath that is unlit, the "long way" is nearer 40 minutes, any which way the station has a large car park.

The Sun Inn was all that we could have hoped for. Nice, comfortable rooms, friendly and accommodating staff and a wonderful breakfast (free). It had a cozy feel to it and we were sad to leave. It was definitely a five star for us.

The staff were amazing, great little Inn, it is a little out of the way, around 20 minutes from the city centre, however we were prepared for this as we had a hire car. Cute little rooms, has everything you need. We would certainly stay here again! Thanks team!

Nice quaint lodge by the forest just in the outskirts of the city. Lovely garden and outdoor dining. Restaurant onsite but closes early so I missed dinner and had to order a “ Just Eat” delivery. Breakfast was great. Staff were friendly. Overall a good stay.

Sun Inn was comfortable and had a homely feel . Accommodating staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our room had a great Mira shower in the bathroom. A little bit of traffic noise from road outside meant keeping the windows tight shut at night but room did have fan. Food in the dining area was good, especially the porridge breakfast. Would stay again if in the area

Friendly staff, terrific breakfast, comfortable cosy room but can get warm and the cold shower didn't work. Bus to Edinburgh city centre will take about 45 minutes. Lovely place, would stay there again.

We stayed in the suite which was pretty special, large room and bathroom and private deck area with hot tub and sauna. It was hard to leave the room to go down for dinner but glad we did, fantastic gourmet food and breakfast the next day. For a special occasion you'll be hard pressed ti find a nicer room than this for the price.
