"If you haven’t been to Beck Hall, what are you waiting for!! This beautiful, totally dog friendly hotel is set in an absolutely stunning location, with fabulous rooms that cater for comfort, style and cosiness. We stayed in Room 9 which had dual aspect windows and overlooked the river, it was literally right under our window. To fall asleep at night with the window open listening to it was bliss. We had a sofa in our room flat screen tv, tea/coffee facilities, fresh, crisp bed linen (a super a comfy bed) and an excellent rainfall shower in the lovely bathroom. From the moment we arrived with our elderly Westie boy, we were given the warmest of welcomes by Linda, Julie and the team, they were such perfect hosts. Every guest is personally shown to their rooms, a lovely touch to make you feel at home, and I loved that dogs are welcomed in every aspect of Beck Hall, there is no ‘out of bounds’ areas for them. Beck Hall provide separate fridge/freezer facilities for your dog food and medication, comfy mats for around the restaurant and the snug and there are lots of doggie treats on offer too! Our boy dived into his bed in our room and was so chilled he was asleep in seconds. The restaurant is bright, and welcoming too, and special mention must go to the Chef and team, the food is absolutely delicious. I had the Sunday Roast, and it was the best I’ve ever tasted, the home made Yorkshire puddings are humongous and literally melt in your mouth. There is a great choice for breakfast, from home made porridge to a full English breakfast my diet went completely out of the window! It is ideally located for walking, with Malham Cove a short distance away, and local paths that vary in difficulty, so there’s plenty of choice. Nothing is too much trouble for the team they were wonderful, their upbeat manner and great sense of humour just added to our enjoyment over our two night stay. I noticed that there were quite a few returning guests, which is no surprise, we can’t wait to book another stay. The big hug that Linda gave me as we were leaving just endorsed the ethos of Beck Hall they make you feel like family. When you search for the ideal peaceful getaway, and you find somewhere like Beck Hall who have perfected it, then it’s time to put your feet up, eat delicious food, drink good wine and sleep peacefully listening to a river!"

"My first visit to the Lister Arms was back in the 1970s. It was Rustic and cosy back then. Over the years I have returned many times... Sometimes delivering produce bakery items from Cromptons Bakery.. the best bakery in Skipton back then.. and fresh vegetables, frozen foods from Dalefresh also a Skipton based business, both long gone now. So I feel as though I have played a small part in the Listers continuance as a rural hostelry. I have also paid many a visit over many years, as a patron. I have spent some time with family, friends, partners. I don 't think I 've ever been disappointed with the food or drink in Fifty years! The atmosphere is just as relaxing and warm as it always was.The setting is so beautiful and the interior is very much the same as it has always been. In these strange and anxious times, it is reassuring to know that although the World has changed so much over the last half century, places like the Lister Arms remain. I am not a fan of Thwaites in general, but all credit to the Lancashire based brewery for keeping the place as it should remain, hopefully for many years to come. I drank a pint or two when I was 18, 21 and many more as I have grown older... My latest meal, a delicious Sunday Roast, was accompanied by an Elderberry tonic! My sister paid for this treat... Living on a small pension is no holiday... The team who run the Listers should be proud of what they do. We can 't afford to go out very much anymore.. This recent visit was one of the best and was worth every penny."
