A little piece of heaven
10 out of 10 there was nothing you could fault. The area is amazing with beautiful scenery. The hotel is stunning. Upon arrival the staff were warm and friendly and this continued through the whole weekend. The room was huge with a massive bed. Clean and a great welcome tray with drinks and biscuits water and more. The shower was amazing overhead shower and the cleanliness perfect. The food is tasty and plentiful piping hot and delicious. Breakfast was one of the best we have ever had. Couldn't wish for more from the staff and accommodation.

Great place, but poor dinner
Room 11 was superb. The evening meal was a big let down. The duck was very over done and the steak and kidney pie contained very little steak! I was looking forward to the cheese selection, but there was so little cheese, it didn't surprise me that you served small biscuits! There were two tiny slivers of cheese on the plate. I really felt cheated by the cost given such a small amount! The breakfast was very good..a welcome meal after such a skimpy dinner.

Fantastic stay!
We had a great stay at the Lister Arms. We stayed in a cozy room, which was cozy, but absolutely fine. The breakfast was good, and food in the restaurant great. The service provided throughout was exceptional. Would definitely recommend.

great location, disappointing accommodation
sorted our luggage on arrival around 10.30 allowing us to walk all day. check in on return quick & efficient but room disappointing small & cramped. shower door fell off on second morning and to get the correct shower temperature it was necessary to run the washbasin hot tap whilst showering. nowhere to store cases and little room for toiletries in bathroom. great location and food but disappointing accommodation

We enjoyed many facets of our stay at the Lister Arms in early May. The sights and walks are stupendous--there are steep walks and near flat walks along the river and some through stone walled grass fields with lots of sheep. The food at the Lister was excellent and we had meals in the morning, midday and evening. Great selection of real ales. Very attentive and engaging staff.
