This is a very pretty pub in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales in an extremely pituresque setting. We stayed for 4 days over Easter weekend; arriving on Thursday evening to the sounds of an Irish band. The chap behind the bar gave us a very warm & hospitable welcome and showed us to our room. The room was perfectly... More

Thank you for the kind review and your feedback with regards to some service you received, as you pointed out it is not our usual standard and I hope it won’t deter you from choosing us again, please call and ask for me in advance should you wish to return to the North Yorkshire Dales.

The Lister Arms is in the picturesque setting of Malham. All the staff were pleasant, particularly the Manager Terry & his partner Kirsty, who were constantly on hand in the evening with a smile,making sure that everything was running smoothly & that everyone was enjoying their evening meals. The food was really good, I particularly enjoyed the sausage & mash... More

We came at one minute past nine and they initially refused to serve us as they stopped serving at nine - although the place was full and others were ordering dessert. Tried to claim there were no tables. Eventually offended pie - "we have only pie" - when we pointed out this wasn't true and there were two spare tables.... More

Thank you for the review on your recent trip to Malham. I am glad that the staff were able to eventually help you out and you were able to eat something, unfortunatly this wouldn't have been your first choice. I can see the staffs method of madness by offering you an easy choice that wouldn’t disturb the system too much... More

Stayed for just one night in the village of Malham. I know the area well, and have stayed at the Buck Inn previously and was disappointed. However the Lister Arms is miles better. The Pub is excellent at being both olde world and modern and very tastefully done. They have a great selection of Beers and a nice log fire.... More

My first stay here to meet family for a meal. Excellent service when booking in nothing was too much trouble. Room lovely and fresh - I thought the home made biscuits in an attractive box was a very nice touch. The food was delicious definitely worth a visit. A wonderful night's sleep. Thank you for an enjoyable experience. More

My Partner and I, having visited the Listers for meals on a number of previous occasions, decided it would be just the place to escape the kids for a night. On arrival, we settled in the bar before checking in and the bar staff were as friendly as any I've ever come across, the atmosphere is very laid back and... More

The Lister Arms is in a stunning setting and the the bar downstairs gives a comfortable and welcoming impression. The beer was very nice. Terry & Kirsty obviously have their hands full running this place. They seemed preoccupied and didn't have time to chat. Our room was quite small but comfortable, there was a lovely view of the stream out... More
