Well located for the Pennine Way. Friendly and welcoming with lovely cosy bar. Bedroom was on the small side but beautifully warm so that we were able to dry out our wet clothes from a day walking. Offers fantastic views over the snowy dales. Good parking and easy access to many walks. Unfortunately the local National Park Centre was closed... More

Fifty quid to stay in a 1725ad beautiful pub with roaring log burners and great cask ales. This included a stay in a lovely room with a boiling hot powerful shower and a flat screen telly. Breakfast the next morning was the best cooked breakfast I've had. The staff were all lovely and full of Yorkshire Charm. Dinner in the... More

It's a lovely hotel in a beautiful countryside.They have a nice pub and a good restaurant. I enjoyed my stay a lot. There's only one negative point is the bathroom. It was clean but I could not manage to get out from the shower room without my friend's help. More

We’re really glad that you enjoyed your stay with us, and that you found the countryside so beautiful! I do apologise for any issues that you had with the bathroom – being an old coaching inn, our rooms do vary in size and facility – but I have checked the offending shower door and will make sure our future guests...

A warm welcome, relaxed environment. Got last room between Christmas and New Year so small but everything we needed (and particularly liked the welcome tin of home baked biscuits). Hearty breakfasts and hearty evening meals (never managed to try puddings). Good to have vegetarian choice that didn't feel like second best. Great walks from doorstep and will definitely return.

It’s always great to read reviews like yours – I know our baker and breakfast chef, Steve, will be pleased to hear you enjoyed his home-baked biscuits! We always use fresh and locally sourced ingredients, to offer something special for everyone, so it’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed our vegetarian selection. We look forward to welcoming you back to... More

Stayed one night at the Lister Arms. Its in a great location for easy walking of Malham Cove, Goredale Scar and the Limestone Pavements - which was our main aim. We had quite a small room - but this was adequate for 1 night. Room needs attention as the paper light shade was all ripped - we did point this... More

I do apologise for the issues that you found with your bedroom – the bedrooms do vary in size and some are slightly smaller than others. As of next week we will have the builders in (but still open for business!) and... More

Spent a couple of nights at the Lister Arms early December 2011. It is a nice pub/hotel, our room was clean and of a good size - when booking I'd be told the only double room available was quite small and we were offered a family room instead. The room was very clean and furnished to a good standard. The... More

We arrived after a foggy two hour drive and after being given a flask of fresh milk we were glad to be shown to our room (no. 9 - twin) for our 3 night stay. It was quite small, although there was plenty of storage and a clean well equipped shower room. The only criticism was there wasnt a bar... More

Just returned home after a 3 night stay at the Lister and have to say that I was a little surprised by some of the negative comments from previous guests. We stayed in room 9 (twin) which was compact, comfortable and clean. However the real stars were the staff and the food. Everyone without fail made us very welcome and... More

I have just returned from a two night stay at the Lister Arms this Friday and Saturday night (11-12th November). I was recommended to stay at the hotel by a friend, who came a couple of years ago.
