Spent two nights here on journey home from Argyll. Room nice and quiet and beautifully furnished, if a little small. Probably our fault and should have chosen something bigger. The bar/restaurant area is brilliant. Stone floors, log fires and welcoming faces. Food excellent. The Lister Arms is in a lovely location and can be very busy with walkers arriving in... More

We spent three nights at the Lister Arms in early May, and really enjoyed our stay. It's just what a pub with rooms should be. The heart of the place is the bar, which also serves as reception for the hotel side of the business. There are stone floors, roaring log fires if it's the least bit cold, and cosy... More

I booked 8 of us into the Lister for the May Bank Holiday weekend (four couples). From beginning to end we were greeted with smiles and kindness from everyone. We had dinner on all three nights in the restaurant and the food and service was excellent. Our rooms were all very different, some a little on the small side but... More

This hotel is part of a small group which includes the Lion in Settle which we also tried and I have written a review. Although the Lion was very good I felt that the Lister had a slight edge. We arrived at about twelve again with our dog and were greeted by welcoming staff and a roaring open fire. I... More

Spent only one night at the Lister Arms, would have loved to have stayed longer. stayed in room 12, lovely room, great bed, a good nights sleep. Food & service really good, can't wait to go back. You would need to book if you want to eat at the Lister Arms, very popular.
