We enjoyed many facets of our stay at the Lister Arms in early May. The sights and walks are stupendous--there are steep walks and near flat walks along the river and some through stone walled grass fields with lots of sheep. The food at the Lister was excellent and we had meals in the morning, midday and evening. Great selection of real ales. Very attentive and engaging staff.

Excellent location, comfortable room, excellent food

Fabulous place. Lovely staff and lots of them. The dining room was lovely and the pub had a cosy feel. Our room was large and decorated in keeping with the pub with quality furnishings and was very clean

I had a lovely stay at the Listers Arms. The location was ideal for walking to the cove and further on the Pennine Way. The food was excellent both at breakfast and in the evening. The room was maybe a little tired and there were some minor cleanliness issues around the shower tray. These would not prevent me from a return visit. The quality, efficiency and friendliness of the staff could not be faulted and the whole team at the inn should be congratulated.

It would be hard to get such a more beautiful location

Mattress in the room I had was worn, and for me, uncomfortable. To travel to Malham you need a car. I wanted to travel a couple miles away and the manager said I would have to call a taxi from Skipton. Fortunately, a staff member reminded her (the manager) about the mid morning bus I could catch. Without that input I would have had to spend closer to 30 pounds on the taxi versus the 2 pounds on the bus. Seems like information the property manager should have provided to me. If that staff member had not been within earshot I would have had to pay far more. The inclusive breakfast buffet was nice but found the evening pub meal average, though pub setting is cosy.

Amazing hotel. Very dog friendly. Fantastic food

Recommended by a friend as it’s a dog friendly pub to stay in. It was so welcoming, lovely atmosphere and food and perfect location for walking around Malham and the Dales.

This was a friendly, well run hotel. The food was good and Malham was a good location for a meeting with my son. I visitted the hotel some years ago and was pleased to see that it was still good.

Fantastic location, very comfy and spacious room with good facilities. Great little pub with good tasting beer, food and a decent fire. Will definitely stay again!

Warm welcome, very friendly service throughout, helpful staff and good dining Highly recommended

Excellent stay at The Lister Arms Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back

Great place, stayed in their barn part which was no issue at all, although good job it wasn’t really raining.

Great last minute booking whilst walking in the area. Accommodation was warm and cosy, just what we needed after a long autumn walk. Staff at check in where really helpful and friendly. The room itself was really kicky decorated and comfy. Ate dinner and breakfast, both really good.

Hotel in a great location. Team all friendly and helpful. Good local produce used in meals. Staff helpful and recommend walks.

Lovely village one of the best Pub/resturants I have stayed at the staff could not have been more helpful good food and great service will certainly stay their again if up that way.

Spacious well appointed room. Excellent food and homely atmosphere.

All good,the only negative is the young male barman,wasn’t very friendly (unlike the rest of the staff) don’t think he wanted to be there.

Myself and my son had an absolutely wonderful stay. Can’t wait to come back again with my husband and our dog. Wonderful owners, everything was fab and Malham is like something from a story book

Great spot to explore from and come back to a fireplace, a few drinks and a good meal.

Excellent stay friendly helpful staff good food particularly the breakfast. Good atmosphere great walks weather wasn’t great but that didn’t matter

It was my fifth stay at the Lister Arms and it was as good as always.A five star service from check in to check out

Beautiful hotel in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Great rooms and breakfast. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

Amazing little gem. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Comfortable hotel with very friendly and accommodating staff. Great selection of alcohol and very good food. Good location for walks in the beautiful Yorkshire dales.

Amazing break, stayed for 8 nights and fully explored the Yorkshire Dales from here. Room was cosy, breakfasts and evening meals were excellent pub food. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially Alex and Lee(?) would definitely recommend!

We stayed at 4 different properties over 4 nights, and we agree that the rooms at The Lister Arms were our favourite.

All was exerlent.Lovely place lovely staff.

Great location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. Lovely accommodation and great food.

I booked this stay for me and my mum for her birthday, and it was lovely! The perfect location for a long walk seeing the 3 main sights. Room was absolutely lovely with nice little touches. Food in the restaurant downstairs was great too. Would highly recommend!

The Lister Arms is as magical as the landscape surrounding it. My only regret is that we stayed only one night. Our room was comfortable and well appointed, and the food at the pub and restaurant were as good as it gets. It was the most delicious breakfast and dinner we experienced during our ten day British journey. And nothing beats the trails and scenery of the Dales National Forest! My goal is to return one day and stay a while.

Night away for our anniversary, great location friendly service and excellent food and accommodation. Can see why it’s Yorkshire's favourite :-)
