From a lovely welcome to our departure, we couldn't fault a thing
What a wonderful stay we have had at The Rising Sun. From a lovely welcome to our departure, we couldn't fault a thing. The staff were all so pleasant and helpful. Our room had everything we could need for a comfortable stay. The food was excellent, with locally sourced ingredients all beautifully cooked, from delicious breakfasts to exceptional evening dinners. Very well done, we loved it!
Viv on TripAdvisorAbsolutely fantastic experience
Absolutely fantastic experience. Excellent food, super friendly staff who couldn't be nicer or more professional, great choice of ales and wine. And did I mention the food. Just "Wow!" difficult to fault. Doggie friendly in the bar as well. Will most definitely be returning. Highly recommended.
Tom on TripAdvisorDecorated 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.

Lizzie on booking-directly.comA modern bathroom in a 14th century hotel
A modern bathroom in a 14th century hotel was definitely not expected. Wi-Fi worked in the room. The staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast provided a good selection, and the cooked items were really good. Sunday lunch was close to home made with plenty of different vegetables. Will definitely return!
