THE SUN HOTEL ACCESS STATEMENT

Approach to the Hotel

The Sun Hotel provides free ample parking for resident & diners. This car park is approximately a 20m to 50m walk dependant on parking position.

Due to National Park & Planning restriction the car park is not lit and there is no street lighting in the area if you are arriving during the hours of darkness a torch is advisable.

The car park is currently in need of some repair work. Quotes are currently being sort. It is advised that care is taken when walking across the car park.

There is a dropped kerb leading onto the foot path outside the hotel.

There are no parking restrictions on the road directly outside the hotel however great care is needed as this is a busy road.
