We stayed in the Lister Farmhouse, which was delightful. The room was spacious, well designed with the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, including air conditioning. Breakfast was equally lovely, with Tom on-hand to provide you with great service and great food. We also had dinner at the Lister Arms on both the nights we stayed, with each meal exceptional. I would recommend you book ahead as every table was taken each night, and given the quality of the food, it’s not hard to see why.

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
