We've always dreamed of staying here and it didn't disappoint
We normally camp but this year we chose the Rising Sun for our Easter Break. Perfectly located with wonderful sea views from our room. This chocolate box inn is superbly cosy yet with more than a hint of piracy. In fact, climbing the stairs to our room and navigating the tilting hallway put me in mind of old galleons. Our room was nicely furnished with a good en-suite shower room and a cute window seat. The room was small but clean. It must be hard to clean all the nooks and crannies of such an ancient building but think they nailed it. Definitely due for some redecoration though as many scuffs and dents on the walls. The carpet on stairs and landing needs taking away and left as wood in my opinion. We had a fabulous meal there on our first night and the breakfasts were great too. We've always dreamed of staying here and it didn't disappoint.
Liz on TripAdvisorLovely hotel and restaurant!
This is the second time we have stopped at the Rising Sun within a year and both stays have been perfect! The staff are very helpful and provide a superb service. We would highly recommend staying here and having a meal in the outstanding restaurant! We have stayed in two different rooms and both have been lovely with beautiful sea views. We will be returning very soon!
Joshua on TripAdvisorA great spot overlooking the harbour
A lovely hotel with a great spot overlooking the harbour. The room we had was up a steepish hill, but this wasn't a problem for us. The view was amazing from the room, and the king size bed was extremely comfy. Breakfast was plentiful and you didn't feel at all rushed. All in all, a great stay and felt very relaxed.
Emma on TripAdvisorA very warm welcome and perfect harbour views
Lovely stay. We received a very warm welcome. The room was beautiful and very modern and stylish. Views from the room out to sea and overlooking the harbour were perfect. Evening meal was delicious and at breakfast there was a large choice of hot and cold foods.
Donna on booking-directly.comDecorated with taste in a classic style that embraces the age of the Inn
Lovely room overlooking the harbour, accessed from a flight of twisty stairs and a delightfully wonky corridor with original panelling and low, not for me, beams. Our room was decorated with taste in a classic style to embrace the age of the Inn without feeling like your Aunty Edna's house. Great to perch on the window seat and look out to sea with the thatch overhead. Fab breakfast, nicely presented by chefs who understand allergies; mine was strictly gluten-free. Don't be alarmed by the traditional pubby feel when you arrive; this isn't the experience you have as a guest, and despite being one floor up and directly over the front door and outdoor seating, there was no late-night noise to keep us awake at all. Lovely, friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again.
