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.

Pros:

Breakfast at 8.30 am isn't good if you are intending to be walking all day, but the hotel were very helpful and willing to provide breakfast earlier if requested.

The room was basic, but fine.
