Dining
Sun Inn
A charming village on the Cumbria and North Yorkshire border plays host to this equally delightful pub; start your evening with a stroll along the river, then enjoy a local beer in the characterful stone-walled bar, before dinner in the smart restaurant. Lunch sees small plates and pub classics, while dinner steps up a gear with refined dishes which let the true flavours of the ingredients shine. Cosy bedrooms blend original features with modern furnishings.
