Last week we stayed for 1 night, there were things about the place that would usually be challenging like when we turned up there was no booking despite an email exchange a few days before, the produce I am sure was good but had lost a bit of its taste after being served straight out of the fridge rather than...

Walked over from Grassington. Sun out so sat outside and had what is probably the best Bacon sandwich ever – trust me I have tried them almost everywhere – Crisp bacon, Cos Lettuce, Tomato with an Avocado dressing served in a crisp bun along with the triple cooked chips – this is my idea of heaven. I have eaten here... More

We chose the Lister Arms for a special birthday/wedding anniversary dinner and overnight stay and after a journey through deep snow found the log fires in the delightful beamed and flagged bar exactly the welcome we were looking for. The staff were friendly and the food excellent. Our recently refurbished room .was tastefully furnished, the bed very comfortable and the... More

Enjoyed a 2 night weekend break with two girlfriends. A perfect spot for a relaxing, dining and walking weekend. Food and service excellent, the atmosphere in the bar and restaurant was just right, busy but relaxing. Attention to detail and right quality food puts this hotel one level up from your average pub with rooms. Nice touches include fresh milk... More

The staff provided excellent service, were frendly and helpful at all times. Meals were good with high standard of food and service. The room was slightly disappointing - it was obviously part way through being redecorated, with some bits replastered but not painted and whilst I understand ongoing maintenance is necessary - the cobwebs in the corners of the room...

As long time regular visitor to Malham, we chose to try the Lister Arms this time. We were pleased we did. This is a super little hotel with a friendly bar and a good restaurant. The rooms are clean and comfortable, if a little compact. We might be tempted to request a family room next time. And there will be... More
