Amazing location and an our room was 109% to our satisfaction. The Lister Arms I believe also own the Buck Inn 100 yards away so we checked out both menus as they cater for different tastes and we chose the Buck inn to eat at which was perfect for us and they also had Sky Sports on which was a bonus. Definitely will return to the Lister Arms next year as the area is truly an amazing place and the value for money for bed and a fantastic breakfast is certainly worth every penny

Weekend well spent at the Lister Arms that I intend to repeat! Great location for visiting a lovely part of the Yorkshire Dales. Check in was welcoming and well organised. Lovely decor (room and restaurant/bar), spotlessly clean. Delicious food and friendly efficient service. Lovely breakfast with plenty to choose from.
