More Reasons to Go

The Rising Sun is in an excellent position right on the harbour front, with lovely views. We spent a happy couple of days there and were lucky to have wonderful weather. Our bedroom was small but had sea views, offered everything we needed and was clean. The restaurant was small and perhaps a little down at heel looking, but the food was very good.

The Rising Sun is a 14th Century thatched inn, it has lots of ups and downs with stairs etc and is very quirky. This is all ok, and I said I would recommend it. However, we were very put off by the Reception area and staff when we arrived. I would use the words over casual and 'tatty'! I do appreciate the building is challenging, but would say it really could do with some TLC and rather more thought about first impressions when people arrive. However, once we settled into the hotel the rest of the experience was modest, but perfectly acceptable. Thank you.

Fab-u-lous! A charming hotel, fun yet attentive staff team. Lovely comfortable rooms. Delicious dinners & breakfasts. If one has a room accessed from the exterior slope instead of the internal staircase, be advised to take flat footware, but the walk upto your accommodation will be well worth the views.

The food was marvelous, good sized portions and scrumptious.

The accessible bedroom was very difficult to get to with a walker, as a narrow corner had to be negotiated which included a fire extinguisher.

Great hotel with lovely comfortable rooms and atmosphere. We were a little disappointed with dinner. The waitress was brilliant however, realised and returned the dish. Breakfast on our second day was very slow as there were a lot of guests and one over worked server. Normally we would not have worried but today we were in a hurry. Generally a great , historical and comfortable place to stay.

Quirky old pub building with wonky floors but the hotel rooms are well furnished and the bathrooms and showers are modern.

We were initially given a room with a bath and handheld shower over, but preferred a proper shower cubicle. The hotel was happy to accommodate our request and able to give us a different room. All management and staff were very helpful and friendly. Great location by the harbour.
