Sun House Reviews

Danielle
Had a terrific stay here thank you! Wonderfully comfortable, loads of space, projector was a great bonus for family movie nights. Kitchen had everything we needed and the welcome package was much appreciated. There's a large car park on the other side of the road to the house so parking was no issue and The Ship Hotel was a perfect place for a meal out on our first night, the gluten free fish and chips was as good as we've had in St Andrews, and really friendly staff who recommended the Maryport aquarium to us to visit a highlight of our holiday, it's excellent! Looking forward to booking again, have already recommended the Sun House to others.
Michael
