Pros:

The room was big and we had enough space.

Cons:

Directly under our room was the pub and outside the "smokers"
We couldn't really sleep the night - it was too loud - you had the feeling that the musik was in your room!

Local, well priced and comfortable.
Pros:

We wanted somewhere reasonably priced and local. the Sun Inn was ideal. As a base for exploring it was the right choice. We were warned before hand about any noise but we were not disturbed and staff were friendly and helpful.

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Breakfast was served 0900-1000 but we required an earlier start. The bar staff told us that we could book a continental breakfast for between 0700-0900 so we requested one for 0730. When we got to the bar at 0730, only the cleaner was present with no one else on site so we never received breakfast..
