"The Lister Arms Google review summary 4.6 2,880 reviews 5 ★ 4 ★ 3 ★ 2 ★ 1 ★ I don't know where to start in complimenting our wonderful stay at the Lister Arms. As you approach, you see this beautiful and historic hotel that is right out of a period British Masterpiece Theater. It was everything that we wanted in rural English charm. The staff greeted us very warmly and continued to be that way for the entire week. The knew that we were tired from our overnight flight from the States, so they got us into a room as soon as they could, so we could get some rest before dinner. The cuisine at their restaurant is extremely excellent. We loved that they offered typical British standards along with other options. We fell in love with their quaint pub and spent many hours there. After our first night at the original hotel they moved us to their nearby Farmhouse. The recently remodeled Farmhouse was amazing and the short walk across an ancient bridge with a bubbling brook was so charming. We were delighted that we picked this hotel in tiny Malham to stay while visiting the Yorkshire Dales. My wife and I highly recommend this hotel as a base on seeing this incredibly beautiful English countryside. ♥️🇬🇧👍"
