Great place, but poor dinner
Room 11 was superb. The evening meal was a big let down. The duck was very over done and the steak and kidney pie contained very little steak! I was looking forward to the cheese selection, but there was so little cheese, it didn't surprise me that you served small biscuits! There were two tiny slivers of cheese on the plate. I really felt cheated by the cost given such a small amount! The breakfast was very good..a welcome meal after such a skimpy dinner.

We had a great stay at the Lister Arms. We stayed in a cozy room, which was cozy, but absolutely fine. The breakfast was good, and food in the restaurant great. The service provided throughout was exceptional. Would definitely recommend.

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.

A lovely time.
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.

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.
