The Lister Arms

Absolutely wonderful place. Warm and friendly with welcoming, helpful and attentive staff. We stayed for one night and had dinner and breakfast and the food was amazing! The room was beautifully decorated and stylish and clean. Absolutely perfect. Can't recommend this place enough! Loved it! Thank you to all the staff.

ALL EXCELLENT. We recently stayed for 6 nights and were delighted with everything. Our room (11) was on the ground floor and was very large with settee etc. 10/10 for room. Staff all brilliant, despite being a large team, each seemingly working different days. Staff 10/10, but for breakfast TIM served most people and he was amazing and he made things happen always with a smile. Tim 12/10. We had dinner there most evening and this was all cooked and presented well. We thought breakfast was all we could ever need.

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.

Spent three days at the Lister Arms. The place and staff and food were all excellent however after booking r a larger room we were very disappointed. It was dingy and dark as the back overlooked a tiny dark space and the front window overlooked the enterence to the bar and dining area, we therefore had to keep the blind closed due to people passing in an out due to the fine weather. We did try to change rooms but it was fully booked.

We visited the Lister Arms as a group of 5 and found the food and service excellent. The menu included a good selection of vegetarian options as 1 of our group was vegetarian. The service was fantastic and we all enjoyed the evening, I would highly recommend.

Beautiful quaint family style country inn where pets and patrons are welcome. While this is a very old structure it has been very well maintained and the rooms have significant improvements providing a very comfortable stay. Our ground floor room was both rustic with all the modern conveniences a huge comfy bed, small sofa and two chairs. There was a generous assortment of coffees, teas, hot chocolate and biscuits replenished each day. The rooms were spotlessly clean and provided everything you need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast each morning was freshly prepared to order and was delicious, as were all the meals we had in the dining room. Prices for food were reasonable made with good quality ingredients we enjoyed every meal. While the location is somewhat remote, I would recommend the Lister Arms for a comfortable break in the country.

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!

My poor Mum and partner dropped by to what they thought was a beautifully presented establishment for Sunday dinner to celebrate a birthday. They picked the lamb roast priced £19.90 off the menu, my Mum ordered and paid by card, then realised the bar man had charged her £21.90, yes the discrepancy is only a £2.00 difference, however when my Mum questioned the bar man why she had been charged extra she was told "that's the price on the till and there is a printing error on the menus". my Mum and partner pointed out that the table menu price was £19.90. The bar man flatly and rudely refused to change the price and demanded they paid the till price of £21.90..he asked the kitchen staff and again a blatant no to honouring the table menu price. He only offered a refund. I can imagine if there were a big group of people ordering several meals with drinks you will surely be ripped off!!!

Second time that we have stayed in one of the Barn rooms. Have to stay the rooms are good, drying room for dogs good, as is the fresh milk! In the pub/hotel, again the lunch and dinner menus are good and food, perhaps slightly overpriced but my wife and i were satisfied and it was positive with good hospitality. I feel that on both mornings the breakfast experience feels like the food is cooked in a completely different kitchen by different people. The standard of food at breakfast needs addressing. The quality and presentation of cooked breakfast suggests it gas just been dumped on a plate. Sausages totally undercooked on both days. My wife’s vegetarian sausages like something from the early 80’s (get updated). On day 2, the poached eggs on toast were very poor. A slice of toast with two poached eggs just dumped on the plate. Presentation zero. I have to say that staff on at breakfast appear less good as well I am sorry to say. On checking out I was served by a cheerful guy. When asking about the stay I mentioned the breakfast. Frankly he did not disagree, highlighting the quality is harder to get right and a bit of a jumble. I would like to think that I am being pretty fair with this review, but for £410 for a two night stay, breakfast needs a sort out.
