About

The Sun Inn is a quintessential British pub located just outside Swindon on the edge of the picturesque Coate Water Country Park. Open from early morning breakfast hours at 9:30 am to the late‑night bar service until 11 pm, it offers a relaxed, family‑friendly environment with a large garden, playground and thatched summer house. The menu features classic pub staples at affordable prices—fish & chips for £10 on Fridays, pizzas and Arkell’s ales combined for £16, and a Sunday roast menu—making it a popular spot for both locals and travelers. The pub also houses 10 en‑suite rooms starting at £50 per night, catering to guests who want a comfortable overnight stay with free breakfast. Whether you’re looking for a laid‑back evening of live music and quiz nights, a convenient stop with free parking before heading to the M4, or a cozy lodging option near nature walks, The Sun Inn delivers a well‑balanced mix of hospitality, affordability and community charm.
