Really good Culinary Experience

“I had one of the best meals in a long time at The Rising Sun! The vegan roast and cheesecake were fabulous. Despite a few minor issues with my seating preference and the wrong wine initially arriving, the staff handled everything quickly and courteously. The decor inside is very nice, and there's a large outdoor area which I loved. Plus, with a variety of options around £14 to £20 for a roast, I found it to be very reasonably priced.” read full review

Comfortable and Well-Equipped

“The Standard King Room I stayed in was fantastic! It was spacious, super comfortable, and had lovely furnishings that made my stay so enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the great shower, which was just what I needed after a long journey. Those small touches, like calming music playing when entering the room, really enhanced the atmosphere.” read full review

Serene Sleeping Experience

“I found the bedroom to be a haven of relaxation. The room was beautiful and incredibly cozy, providing a restful sleep after a busy day. The attention to cleanliness was evident, making me feel right at home. The complementary tea and coffee with fresh milk were a good touch that added to my experience.” read full review

Family-Friendly Environment

“The Rising Sun is excellent for families! They catered to my needs, even accommodating my small blind dog without any additional charge. The kids' menu was excellent, ensuring that my child enjoyed proper food, not just typical chicken nuggets. The overall atmosphere made it perfect for families, with enough choices to satisfy everyone.” read full review
