Guest Reviews
- John (10/5): - Great location good food and a lovely friendly atmosphere
- DisappearingDi (8/5): Good stay for what we needed and the price paid. - Breakfast was very good. Dinner on our second night was good too. We didn’t know that there would be no food available on our first night (Sunday) so we had to go elsewhere. The staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable. We were put in an upstairs room when there were ground floor rooms available. It wasn’t too much of a problem, but would have preferred being given the choice. The bathroom in our apartment seemed to have had a leak at some point and the walls were stained. The room was quite cold, but we soon put on the oil-filled radiator on.
- Tracey (8/5): -
- Helen (8/5): -
- stephen (5/5): Very disappointed - Quite close to Swindon and big car park The bathroom was dirty. A double occupancy with only 1 bathtowel. Pillowcase had marks on it. The toilet was badly scratched in the pan area which made it looked like it constantly needed flushing. This should be replaced. On the whole the whole accommodation needed cleaning and up grading
- Michelle (10/5): Peaceful stay in a comfy room with friendly staff in the pub. - This was my first stay at The Sun Inn and I was very impressed with the room - size, cleanliness, facilities, location. I had a peaceful night in a comfy bed. Nothing
- DAVID (10/5): The stay was very successful & I recommend the Inn to anyone. - The Inn was a 10 minute drive from work. The staff were friendly from the start, & the manager was very generous & cordial. The food & beer were of an exceptional quality. I didn't sleep too well during the 1 night I spent there. This was partially due to noises close to my room in the early hours
- Danie (10/5): -
- joanna (9/5): Will definitely return - Location was perfect for me as I was working nearby.It is on a main road but you can just walk out and be at a beautiful lake. Best of both worlds!
Staff couldn’t be more friendly & helpful.
Great pub menu I assumed there would be USB charger in the room. I didn’t pack a charger but staff happily charged my phone for me. A small thing but I needed an alarm.
- Nonoka (9/5): -
- Evans (10/5): -
- Ian (8/5): -
- Melanie (8/5): Lovely room with good facilities and great value so just need to improve their breakfast offer. - Good location, great room with everything we needed. It was spacious and clean. The dog was also welcomed and there was a field next-door where we could walk him. We couldn’t have breakfast! The info said from 8am. A worker told us 8.30am but at 8.40am, still shut so we had to leave. Pillows were uncomfortable and disturbed our sleep. (Husband will usually sleep anywhere so they must want replacing)
- Darren (10/5): - Great room and great breakfast. Beer was good too!
- Jane (8/5): -
- Karen (10/5): -
- Alex (8/5): -
- Christopher Ross (8/5): Great location but breakfast too late at 09:00 for a weekday. - Excellently located near the hospital to suit our needs. Lots of easy parking. Breakfast was supposed to be available from 08:00 on Monday morning. But not available until 09:00. Too late for folk who need to get out and on the road.
- Stewart (7/5): -
- Frances (9/5): - The accommodation was clean and tidy and in a great location. A lovely assortment of tea & coffee etc in the room. The breakfast was good and staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, very good value for money. The edges of the mattress were rather hard and springy, making it a bit uncomfortable climbing in and out of bed.
- Dave (10/5): -
- Jennifer (6/5): - Comfortable bed and slept well The room was very tired with marks all on the walls. The bathroom tap had tooth paste stains on it and hair in the sink. It just generally didn’t feel very clean.
- Catherine (9/5): - Great location and fantastic value Quite hot in the room
- Rue (8/5): - The heated tiles and the comfortable bed
- walker (10/5): Wow - I had the most amazing comfortable stay at the sun inn. The room was spacious, modern, pleasantly decorated and squeaky clean. The surroundings are leafy and picturesque and the pub and restaurant and surrounding outdoor areas and gardens are great. Would definitely return, thank you.

- Roy (7/5): Generally good value, convenient and nice place to stay - Breakfast was very good, although we had to pay extra when we arrived as found out booking.com has dropped this facility? Rooms are comfortable & spacious Rooms looking tired now & could use a lick of paint, shower grubby with mould & rust around the door & cubicle, found the bed to be a bit hard (personal taste?).
Meals in the (attached) pub expensive, bland and not great value for money.
- Kendrick (10/5): -

- Stephanie (10/5): -
- louise (7/5): - Comfy room, great tea and coffee and toiletries.
- Beverley (9/5): Friendly, convenient, and comfortable - Have stayed numerous times and find them so accommodating.
I like that you have your own entrance rather than endless corridors to walk through , and a sitting area just outside so you don’t feel coupled up. Nothing all was good
- Ali (10/5): Excellent - It was excellent
- Lee (9/5): Pleasantly surprised. Good value for money. - Overall a pleasant stay. Had an upstairs room and liked the balcony . Room was clean . Very good sound proofing couldn't hear a sound from outside. Effective blackout curtains.. Room had everything reqd. Kettle , iron , hairdryer . Very good shower . First time using this establishment and it gave excellent value for money. Didn't try the breakfast as checked out before breakfast sitting in order to continue journey. Will use The Sun again as we need to stay in Swindon 3 or 4 times a year and it's only 5 mins from M4 Junction 15. Standard double bed felt a little cramped as used to bigger at home.
- Kevin (8/5): Convenient and pleasant place to stay. Would stay again. - room was spacious and clean with all the facilities you would expect.
