Marton Arms in Craven

We had a lovely couple of nights in this charming pub/hotel. Our room was comfy, spotlessly clean and warm. The food in the restaurant was excellent both breakfasts and dinners. The staff friendly and the place had a lovely cosy friendly feel. Would definitely return and recommend.

Had a lovely time celebrating a special birthday. 3 excellent meals with superb service. Staff were fantastic. Will definitely be back.

Just returned from a fabulous evening at the Marton Arms. What a gem of a country pub. Stunning location and a wonderful cosy feel to it. Now for the food and service. Top class. The service was exceptional. The 2 front of house staff who served us were absolutely brilliant. ( sorry I didn't get your names ) both were very tentative, chatty and informative, a credit to management for hiring them, as they are the reason we came back tonight for a meal, having experienced their hospitality when popping in for a drink a couple of nights ago. Our meals were beautifully presented and delicious. The bar staff were also fantastic. 5 stars all round. Highly recommended people. Can't wait to return. Keep up the good work guys. Your food and service was exceptional.

Tried Marston Arms for Sunday lunch today after thrilling walk round Ingleton Falls…really warm welcome and superb service coupled with excellent starter ( Soufflé ) and then perfect roast Pork with cauliflower cheese…finally a wonderful cherry Sundae shared by the 4 of us…£200 for 4 inc fine bottle of red and tips!…Thank you Team Marton Arms…we shall be back!

Excellent Sunday lunch- Fern brilliant front of house and all the other staff who went out of their way to seat us last minute and made our dogs so welcome ~ a real gem we stumbled across we will definitely return!

This place is absolutely fabulous! The place, the atmosphere, the service were all outstanding. I am allergic to onions and 'Steven' who served us at the table was brilliant! He sat down next to me telling me how much he would do for me to make sure there were no onions near my food. He had a great sense of humour and he was true to his word. The chef made me a bearnaise sauce without shallots, for my steak and my meal was soo good! My husband's meal was also superb. We will defo be returning!

Amazing find. Lovely location, staff so helpful, food wonderful. We will be back again soon with the rest of our family.

We looked forward to eating here on a Sunday evening. We were also looking forward to tasting the pithivier, however, it was disappointing. There was virtually no cheese, just dark onion and lumps of hard potato. The leeks were however, very nice. The cheese and biscuits were okay, but the biscuits were bordering on stale.

This is a little gem in the Yorkshire dales. We were staying just up the road, so the Marton Arms was the pub within walking distance and therefore first choice for a quick and easy evening meal. What a find. We had not pre booked but were welcomed and shown to a table and a appetising menus left for us to peruse while water and drinks were brought to the table. The food that evening matched the welcome and service and was superb, so much so we booked in for a Sunday lunch a few days later. Sunday lunch of local beef rump and deserts of Apple crumble and sticky toffee pudding washed down with a bottle of red again was fantastic. In short, local food cook simply but extremely well with fantastic service in very pleasant surrounding. What more do you need? Highly recommend.

What an absolute gem of a place! We’ve been several times now when visiting the area and have always had a fabulous experience. The food is wonderful, varied and reasonably priced. The staff are very accommodating and the atmosphere is great. There’s always plenty to choose from and it’s always freshly prepared. It’s just a marvellous country pub doing everything right!!

Staying at the Thornbrook barn caravan site, The Marton Arms was the closest. Firstly we called in for a drink on the way into the village. We were welcomed by Simon, who was friendly and enthusiastic about our 2 German Shepherds (very dog friendly pub) liking the atmosphere and the staff we booked in on the Saturday night for my wife’s birthday meal. Well what can I say, food amazing, staff exceptional, shout out to Simon and Craig, service impeccable and good wine. We could not find fault with anything about the Marton Arms so we booked in for Sunday lunch, if I’m hungry by then. If you are in the area or even close by it is worth the effort, but word of advice,book first to avoid disappointment.

As soon as we arrived, we received a very warm welcome from the delightful Heather and her hard-working staff. This ancient pub is quite rambling and manages to maintain a feeling of history while providing a lot of modern comforts. We had a four poster bed and a lovely old wardrobe in our room. The bar and restaurant are very popular so booking ahead for dinner is a good idea . The Marton Arms offers a bed/breakfast/dinner option which is actually really good value as you get a choice of any two courses from the extensive menu and all the food is of the very highest quality . The helpings seemed generous so my wife and I decided to share a single starter and desert and had a main course each. We were quite full after all that so did the same for our second night too. We were in the area for the hiking and chose the Marton Arms for its proximity to several excellent walks . The famous Ingleton Waterfall way is about 10 mins walk down the road and is definitely worth the 10 pounds fee ( which includes parking if you need to drive there or are too lazy to walk down the hill from the pub )! All in all highly recommended. The only suggestion for improvements was the bed in our room (11) really needed a new mattress, but having said that, we would certainly not hesitate to stay at the Marton Arms again if we were in the area .

Stayed for the one night and at £150 it could be thought of as a little pricey, although this could be a seasonal led tariff. However, our double room was spacious, well furnished and spotlessly clean with an extremely comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent, therefore the 2 main ingredients of B&B were ticked 100%. Overall service was very good from amiable and professional staff. Historic old building in a lovely, picturesque location. Enjoyable value for money stay

Wow! How happy are we that we stumbled upon the Marton Arms?! (Very!!!) Beautiful dining room, warm & attentive service, and the food was absolutely stunning. We arrived around 1:30ish with no booking after having just walked ingleton falls. We were greeted and seated immediately by Craig who served us throughout our meal. Craig provided excellent hospitality, offering great recommendations from both the bar and the food menu, and was always one step ahead meaning we never had to ask for anything! The menu offers plenty of dishes to choose from, however we took Craig up on his recommendation of the Cheese Soufflé and Tomato Bruschetta (starters), followed by the Suet Pudding and Lamb Shoulder (mains), and finishing with Homeycomb Crème Brûlée to share - we could not fault a single thing about our food, everything was absolutely delicious, incredible value for money, and service was timed perfectly well. This was an anniversary meal (albeit we did not make this known), and the service, to the food, to the setting made everything so special for us, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience. Thank you Craig and the team at Marton arms for an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to come back!!!

Was staying nearby and chose this place as they had really good reviews for the Sunday roasts. My wife had the roast beef which was really good. 3 large thick pieces of perfectly cooked pink beef which tasted lovely and had a great texture. Big Yorkshire pudding, plenty of really nicely cooked roast potatoes, loads of veg and plenty of tasty gravy. My mother in law asked if they could do a smaller roast portion as she doesn't eat as much (as the menu didn't show anything like this) and the person serving didn't hesitate and said 'of course'. Her portion was smaller than the regular portion but was still a good amount of food (for a smaller price) I'd already checked out the menu so knew in advance that they didn't do burgers (my normal choice in restaurants) However, they had a specials board which had a burger on it so that's what I had! It was a triple burger with cheese and onion rings. The meat itself was nice and juicy and there was a lot of cheese which was really strong and lovely. The onion rings were massive and really good and the fries were also good. The only issue for me was the burger bun. It was rock solid (literally) and hadn't been buttered so made something that was very dry even more drier. Not sure how it's possible to make a bun that hard! Overall we had a lovely meal. All the staff were really nice and friendly and I would definitely recommend this place and eat here again if we're ever back in the area.

Stayed 1 night in the 4 poster bed room. Very Quiet, extremely comfortable though of a limited space. The bathroom and toilet ensuite with a corner walk in shower. The shower hose offers very little flexibility. Even meal was excellent and a Fresh Full English Breakfast The hotel is undergoing refurbishment adding extra rooms. I'm sure it will be a future success

We were in as a large group of 9 on Saturday night. Very impressed with the food. I had fish and Chips and would say the Haddock was fantastic, very good quality fish and nicely battered. Ideal for after a day walking. The service was excellent. We were a large group and always felt well attended to. The young lad looking after the table did a great job. Inside venue is a nice feel... upmarket surroundings but felt welcomed and valued despite not being fully scrubbed up (who is whilst camping!) In terms of constructive criticism it woukd be nice to see one or two more draught beers (especially a Theakston option for me, thats the proper taste of the dales!)

Great restaurant and bar. This pub has a lovely eating, drinking area. The food was tasty, filling, fresh and inviting. We had 2 course, including a pork roast dinner. We will definitely be back. Mike our waiter was very attentive, helpful and he had great communication skills. He also provided an excellent service

Just had a fantastic Easter Sunday lunch experience here. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The staff are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable allied with humour. Quality, comfy surroundings with a great choice of food and drink which on tasting did not disappoint. Just had to try the hot cross bun martini as an aperitif, delicious. Even better it was in very easy walking distance of the caravan site we were staying at and dog friendly too. A good time was had by all. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great food as always and exceptional staff, the cheese soufflé must be the signature dish, it never fails. Well done and thank you

Superb country pub which we stopped at for lunch following a walk in the area on Good Friday. The food is a cut above other pubs and is really restaurant quality but in the comfort of a warm and friendly environment which is tasteful and fresh. The kitchen staff should be commended on their food, the service was also excellent, attentive without being intrusive. The Marton Arms would make a great base to do The 3 Peaks of Yorkshire from if you required accomodation. Great Place that deserves to do well.

Beautiful pub with a lovely fire. Modern and comfortable but still with loads of old world charm. The food was great and the staff very attentive .

What a lovely place! We popped in the day before for a drink and were impressed, so we returned today. Menu a reasonable size (not like some places where you know it’s being defrosted and microwaved) and choice for everyone. Food was perfectly cooked and a good price (bavette steak with trimmings £26.50) wine a good price too and good choices again and the service from Mike and Mark was exceptional. Thank you, we will be back!

A lovely cosy place. Attentive, polite, friendly, smiling staff. The food was excellent, well presented and very tasty. Some things I had never tried so I wanted to try everything on the menu, as it sounded so good, I was salivating just reading through it, definitely not your bog standard british menu. Price wise, with the current cost of living, our meals were fairly good value, however, there is always going to be a gripe and I have 2 of them, there were several meals on the menu that don't come with potatoes & veg so have to pay extra for these, ours were included, also its very rare to get Apple Tart Tatin on the menu with. I instantly knew I was going to have that. It was a 2 person sharer so thought it would be quite sizeable with plenty of apple wedges/slices arranged, fan like, throughout the pan, cooked and turned over with the cooked pastry on bottom. I was so excited & looking forward to this, on its arrival I was somewhat deflated it didnt match up to my expectations, it wasn't heaped with apples, they were sprinkled about, could have done with more and the ice-cream had already melted completely :o( however, the flavours and textures were sublime so I kind of let the disappointment slide somewhat. It cost £15 as a sharer so not cheap. They can definitely improve on this, another dozen apple slices, Come On. Overall, with the quality & flavours of the meals we left very happy.

We had been to Ingleton for a walk around the falls and was recommended the Marton Arms for our Sunday lunch. There were 6 adults and 2 children and the food was lovely...not 1 complaint! The staff were friendly and efficient. They are dog friendly, and as we had 2 with us, that was perfect. Would recommend and look forward to going back.

Yes, the meals were very nice but, unfortunately my Mum's haddock had a large hair in it and then I crunched on a piece of plastic in my beef? My mum was nearly sick at the thought of hair in her haddock and luckily, I didn't break my tooth. We were then offered puddings free of charge, which, actually we didn't want? They should have reembersed our meals. Won't be going there again.

This pub is absolutely beautiful…Heather and her staff made our group of 17 so welcome! The food is outstanding…the venison wellington is one of the best meals out I have ever had. The pub is so comfortable and cosy and beautifully decorated. This place really is an absolute gem and I cannot recommend highly enough!

What a transformation. Not been here for years. Very cozy and inviting. The food was absolutely faultless and the staff were very welcoming will definitely be returning

My friend and I came here for lunch. What a beautiful place; a lovely warm fire (so welcoming especially as it was a very cold day), excellent food and service. We will definitely be coming here again. Thank you.

Once again the Marton Arms was fabulous. We spent two evenings at the end of December including NYE. The food was superb, and the front of house team are all brilliant. Hope we can get back soon.

A fabulous place - service and food all superlative. We visited 3 times over the Christmas period and couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

A fabulous meal again! We organised a group of around 20 for dinner on Sunday - service was excellent and the food was delicious. No problem dealing with a large and rather noisy group, even individual payments made with ease. Highly recommended.

Tired dated decor, uninspiring. Also, no welcome at all. No hospitality. We live locally in Kirkby Lonsdale and stopped in for a bite to eat on our way to Settle. Won’t make that mistake again.

This is a terrific country pub with an excellent selection of well-kept ales and superb, restaurant quality meals at pub prices. Recommended without reservation.
