Base camp for motorcycle tour of the dales.
Pros:

The room was very comfortable. It's a cracking little village pub with excellent friendly staff. Fantastic traditional breakfast. A good selection of beers, including alcohol free beers.

Cons:

The shared bathroom and toilet, but had no issue's, with how clean it was left by fellow guests. The creaky floorboards at night, did wake me up with other guests moving about, but it is an old building.

Functional for our one night stay whilst visiting family. Stunning area.
Pros:

The Sun Inn is a very old public house, the place is traditional, but very tired and dated but that does add to its charm. Due to current changes they do not serve food in the pub, but they do serve breakfast to their overnight guests. Their full English was exceptional.

Cons:

The room was very basic, and exceptionally warm, I was unable to turn the radiator down - better than being cold I guess. The lamps didn't work particularly well and the mattress was very old.

Great stay!
Pros:

Staff were friendly & great, breakfast was great, areas quiet & relaxed, beer selection good.

Cons:

Pillows were too thin & soft, the church bells went off every 15 minutes - I’m a light sleeper & this was no fault of the pub of course.

趣のある素敵な宿
Pros:

イングランド最北部の山村の古びたパブの2階にある素敵な宿。昔の建物をそのまま活用しているので、柱は傾き床は波を打っているが、そのあたりは趣があってとても良い。必要な設備は整っている。一階のパブは夜の10時30分まで営業。優しい老婦人がひとりで切り盛りしていた。夜は食事は出さないので注意。朝食はちゃんとしたfull English breakfastが出てきた。裏庭に数台は駐車できるスペースがある。

Cons:

Wifiがあればよりよかった。

Lovely place for a 1 or 2 night stay.
Pros:

Wonderful location right opposite the church in the middle of Dent village with parking on site. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Cons:

Room is in a pub so expect some noise from the bar in the evening. It wasn't too bad and didn't go on too late though.

We always ensure you’re staying at The Sun and wish them all the best.
Pros:

This is our fourth time staying at The Sun. We love it there, and we love the village of Dent. My partner’s last name is Dent so whenever we’re in the UK, we tried to stay there.

Cons:

We are just disappointed that dinner is no longer served. We remember coming some years ago and eating dinner by a beautiful fire.
