Dating back to the 16th century, The Sun Inn boasts charming original features and character, including stone walls, oak beams and a bar made from local slate.
The business is multi-faceted and comprises a free-of-tie pub and restaurant, with purpose-built dining room and ‘The Boat Room’ games and entertainment space. There are also eight well-appointed ensuite letting bedrooms with views of the surrounding countryside, as well as detached staff/owner’s accommodation building with six ensuite bedrooms included in the sale.
The pub serves over 240 covers and offers a large beer garden and customer car park.
The Sun Inn is situated in the picturesque village of Coniston, at the foot of Old Man mountain, a popular destination for walkers and outdoor explorers. Previously known as The Rising Sun and The Huntsman, the pub has a long history as a hospitality venue and once catered for travellers passing along the old trade routes to the west coast ports. The inn is also well-known as a filming location for Across The Lake starring Anthony Hopkins (1988). Today, the pub is well-supported by both local residents and tourists alike.
Having owned the pub for many years, the current owners have decided to sell The Sun to retire.
Marslie McGregor, Business Agent at Christie & Co, is managing the sale and said, “The renowned Sun Inn is an exciting opportunity which would suit an owner-operator but also a management team, therefore appealing to local, regional and even national multi-site operators. The sale presents a brilliant opportunity to acquire a long-established business, and we expect high levels of interest.”
The Sun Inn is on the market with a freehold asking price of £1,500,000.
