Reviews of Dent Village Heritage Centre & Museum

M. A.

We visited this museum with my family as part of our holiday from Abroad.. its small in size but many things to see there .. to see the history of the place there. Friendly staff.. cheap tickets for adults only gives you opportunity to visit this place many times as you wish... nice cafe shop to enjoy 😉

T. 1.

A little pricey for what it is but interesting and a decent scone went down well.

R. G.

Visited whilst out on our tandem. We didn't visit the heritage centre but had a lovely cup of coffee on the outside seating. Decent value for money and a beautiful location

A. A.

A delightful place to visit, so much to see and great for refreshments as well. Would really recommend. And a very friendly welcome.

N. H.

This is a lovely place and the lady who served us was lovely... but it suffered from the extraordinary English paradox of CLOSING AT 4.00PM.... exactly at the time when we want a nice cuppa and cake after a long day's walk. I just cannot understand this - it seems that 9/10 cafes CLOSE AT PEAK TEA TIME!!! I mean, what is this about????

N. D.

The food was lovely, and inside the centre itself was really lovely, to see all the history of the area. However, whilst two of the ladies working there were very pleasant and friendly, there was one lady (dark hair) who could not have come across as being more abrupt or unfriendly if she had tried! I have to think that she must have just had a bad day, as she was not the epitomy of friendliness that we Yorkshire people like to be known for! This did kind of spoil it for us. Ironically, whilst driving out of the village a while later we saw the same person eagerly drinking alcohol from a can in her front garden (we assumed) so must have been a very bad day!!

A. B.

Really great local food in the attached cafe. Highly recommended. Can vouch for the toaster, pork pie (served warm with gravy and mushy peas) and cakes.

H. C.

Cool and quirky place It's a cafe with fab food and a museum and a shop, plus a camp site Lovely area

P. M.

Very slow service all round. Slow in ordering and slow to receive the order especially as it was only tea and scones. This was our second visit here - the first visit was the same. Definitely need more staff or cut back on the menu.

a. e. l.

Absolutely delightful..... well worth a visit...a jolly time was had by all.

J. M.

Very good, trip down memory lane. Cafe onside with outdoor seating. There is also up Flinters gill a preserved barn full of farming machinery and a lovely viewpoint over to the Howgill fells and dentdale, well worth the steep walk up.

R. B.

The ladies at the reception area were very cordial and informative. Much pride in this gem of a historical area was very evident, and rightly so. We spent 2.5 hours in this museum, and were very pleased...a must see if you are in the area.

J. D.

Really enjoyed wandering in the museum. Lots of exhibits and wee videos running of locals reminiscing! Beautiful crafts on offer especially using different wools. Lovely apple pie with ice cream and a huge teapot of tea for two. Was very busy however with lots of cyclists and bickers. Staff did very well under the circumstances.

T. S.

A lovely place all sorts of items through the ages , information about dent and lovely , helpful staff

S. N.

Interesting museum allowing you to take a step back in time to rural life and to reflect on how far we have come. Lovely team room in interesting setting, friendly staff, parking available.

R. C. D.

Food was absolutely delightful! We popped in in a cold winters day and we were greeted with a very warm welcome! The place offers a walk through the past of Dent Village with their excellent exhibits including a model railway! Visiting there was an utter joy and we'll definitely go back again!❤️

K. M.

Called for coffee and scones very nice food and nice staff will go again

K. S.

A lovely little gem on a wet day. Lots of lovely interesting things to look at. Loved the model railway. Had a warm drink and a toasted tea cake. Dogs made very welcome.

R. H.

Just stopped for coffee and carrot cake. Very friendly and as the sign says, it transports you back in time.

H. F.

Most interesting display. Good cup of tea on the forecourt amongst the tractors. Exceptional Bakewell Tart.

C. G.

So interesting, crammed with historic everyday objects. Lovely craft workshop. Excellent coffee to drink while taking in the objects. Small railway layout downstairs. Set in beautiful Dent Valley. Loved it.

J. P.

Excellent examples of local Dales history, crammed into this small centre. Good parking, good food, good value and in a wonderful setting. We weren't campers but the camp site looked pretty good too. We'll worth a visit.

C. K.

Plenty to see and remanis. Refreshments available. Cakes wonderful

S. L.

Absolutely marvellous quaint. Very friendly village Excellent camp sight. lovely riverside Walks.

C. H.

Friendly staff. Sell some unique stuff. Like it

T. P.

We go there for excellent coffee and beans on toast at the top of our cycle ride. Really friendly staff who go out of their way to make you welcome. The heritage side is really interesting with an eclectic mix of random stuff, exhibitions, model railways of the area, old tractors.... good range of home baked cakes, hams and preserves.

L. A.

Great place to visit, interesting museum, ideal for an enjoyable coffee or a bite of lunch. Minimal menue, but enjoyable homemade soup 😀 its definitely worth a visit

D. R.

Super Centre serving lovely coffee & cake! A great stop off if you’re cycling (or walking, or driving) through. Vintage tractors & machinery on display. Very COVID safe. Well worth a visit

N. J.

The food at this cafe was surprisingly good! Also, there's a nice little knit shop attached that's well stocked. If you're in the area and need a bite to eat, well recommended

E. T.

Beautiful tea shop and fascinating history. The ladies who looked after us were lovely, definitely will be making a return trip

J. W.

Excellent local and social history centre. A huge collection of historical items relating to Dentdale, including local aural history. A good selection of local history books and a superb model railway showing Dent and Cowgill. Friendly and helpful staff too. Also a lovely tea room serving drinks and light bites. To the rear of the building is an extensive wool shop which is well worth checking out. Highly recommended.

d. s.

Very nice small museum with parking opposite on caravan site, didn't get the sheep quiz right though :(

L. L. J.

Really interesting place. Well with a visit. The café is within the museum but you don't have to pay entry to visit for the café only. The bacon butties are to die for. Don't miss out when visiting the village.

Well worth a visit,excellent Flapjack. The walk up to the view point is worth the effort but be aware of us quite a tough climb. Do not forget to make a wish at the wishing tree.☺

C. B.

Beautiful village. The cafe at the heritage centre serves homemade food which was brilliant. Well recommended.

S. M.

Well what a find. Whole crowd of us relived memories of our childhood and identified kitchen and farming stuff from our youth. Lots of stuff and a delightful girl to explain all and take our money. Moderately priced and an enjoyable experience. Thank you

A. d. l. R.

It's just a great museum, full to the brim with interesting displays & spotlessly clean. Soup is tasty & nice coffee. Do visit! A day out for the family

A. D.

Loads of interesting stuff. Don't forget to pay on the way in.

D. S.

Excellent display off artefacts and history of Dent, Dentdale, dales farming family history, plus Dentdale life & household memorabilia through several generations. Small entry fee, but worth every penny. Visitors and locals equally welcome. Teas, coffees and cakes also available. Recommended.
