Hawkshead, Lake District — Built in the 1800s
Private Pub with En-Suite Rooms · Sleeps 20 · Exclusively Yours
Our Story
Built in the 1800s and nestled in the heart of Hawkshead village, The Sun Inn is one of the Lake District's most storied buildings. An open log fire crackles at the heart of the pub, setting the scene for evenings that feel a world away from ordinary.
When you book The Sun Inn, you take the entire property — the pub, the rooms, the bar, the beer garden. It is yours alone. No strangers, no staff hovering, just your group and two centuries of history.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, gathering family from across the country, or simply seeking an extraordinary retreat, The Sun Inn delivers a sense of occasion that never fades.
