Great pub, lovely food and great location. food
The Queens Arms is all that you imagine a country pub should be like. You will not be disappointed. It’s well worth a visit but booking is essential. Great value and excellent food. The menu is not vast which is a good thing because all the food is cooked on order. When the excellent pies are ordered you are told that you will have to allow at least 20 mins. When the food arrives you then appreciate what excellent food and value really means. The atmosphere, both inside and out, the friendly staff and location make a visit a must.

Lovely pub food
I travelled up to Yorkshire with two of my brothers in law to take on the 3 peak chsllenge. We stayed at the b&b up the road , so had just a short stroll to the pub to eat. We all agreed that the food was brilliant. I had steak and ale pie the 1st night and the lamb pie the next. They were excellent. The staff were welcoming and we will definitely call in if we venture up again in the future.

A Great, warm, friendly pub with top food in a stunning out of the way place
You won’t pass this pub by driving through The Dales - you need to find it but it’s worth the trip - proper old country pub in a stunning location with freindly staff and great food - the home made scotch eggs are a must and the stake and ale pie is top notch - flag floors, fire roaring and a few dogs to boot, this is how pubs should be plus freat service and friebdly staff

A Genuine Jewel in the Dales Crown
If you are looking for genuine hospitality, great food (fish and chips far better than the Wetherby Whaler and the best onion rings in the UK), comfortable bed and decent shower (post walking), not to mention sitting by a real fire and having a decent beverage of your choice oh and a hearty breakfast second to none. Then FORGET the Hilton, go to the best THE QUEENS ARMS is for you and your four pawed friend.

Delicious food
This restaurant was recommended by our B&B and it did not disappoint! The service was friendly, efficient, and the food delicious. My fish pie was exceptional, though a warning about how hot it was would have avoided a scalded tongue. The lamb shank was also much enjoyed. Elton Mess was a treasure trove of unusual ingredients worth saving space for!

A little gem in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales
We have stayed at this delightful pub before as it makes a good base for the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. Although only small it makes up for lack of size in the ambience, friendly welcome, delicious food, comfy bedrooms and cosy bar, it is very dog friendly too. Although off the beaten track it is still very popular and there is a nice buzz in the bar in the evenings. We stayed for one night this time with our chocolate labrador. The bedroom was small but well appointed and very clean. Our evening meal was delicious - we had spicy scotch egg, I had the rib eye steak which just melted in the mouth and my wife had the fish and chips. Ample portions so we could only share the gorgeous sticky toffee pudding. All washed down with good quality wines and an Irish coffee. Breakfast next morning was again delicious with nothing too much trouble. Service was excellent throughout from all members of staff. We will definitely be back.

Under New Tenancy (2019) but remains one of the best pub/restaurants in The Dales.
“First visited this old rustic Dales pub in 1953 and have been coming back regularly ever since. It was built in the 1600’s, an old Drovers Pub way up Littondale. It is worth the drive or for many, the walk up lovely Littondale. I live about 9 miles from this pub and enjoy the short drive up there to take lunch. It has recently been taken over by Matt (the chef) and his wife Michelle and the food is excellent. The roaring log fire is always a welcome sight during the winter months. During the warmer summer months it is a draw for walkers and cyclist alike with plenty of outdoor tables and seating. They have accommodation right in the heart of the Dales. A very cosy, friendly pub which is, thankfully, free of loud music.”
Can not recommend highly enough.

Little Gem
“We have just stayed here for 1 night, having stayed 3 years ago. Under new management, but the high standards have been maintained. Very friendly staff with nothing too much trouble. We had the family room, which is ideal if you’ve got children. We ate there in the evening and had a lovely meal. Breakfast was freshly cooked and had all the usual staples of a full English breakfast.
Litton is a lovely village in the quiet dale of Littondale, not far from Grassington, Skipton and Kettlewell. Well worth a visit.”

Always a favourite pub - the Queens Arms has got even better under the new management !
Very friendly - nothing is too much trouble. Eight of us dined in the pub on three occasions during our holiday , the food was excellent and the portions were very generous. Friendly and welcoming - great beer and roaring log fires - what more could want !Can not recommend highly enough.

Proper Yorkshire pub
Proper Yorkshire pub in the middle of Gods county, with a friendly welcoming atmosphere.
Immediately welcomed by a roaring fire, craft beers and great food, using locally sourced produce cooked to perfection
Great for walkers, sat between 2 moors in a small village location, dogs welcome of course.
The Queens has 4 rooms set to a high standard, with homemade flapjack as part of the welcome pack…fantastic.

Heaven in Gods County !!!!!
The landlady and staff are very welcoming (the landlord presides over the Kitchen). The menu is in part what you would expect from a Yorkshire Dales Inn, however, here the focus is on providing home cooked quality dishes . What would seem to be a changing menu is augmented with a specials board. While not an extensive menu as such, its clear that the emphasis is on ensuring what is on offer, is cooked to ensure customer satisfaction. A good selection of Hand pulled beers and they offer a good wine selection. The inn has two rooms ( one is more aligned to diners whereas the main bar area provides the option to either have a drink and or also sit and dine) - the main bar is also dog friendly which with Littondale providing good walking means the Queens Arms is a good stop off from the family walk. The Inn is cosy and to this end has limited covers and therefore I would suggest if your planning a visit that you book ahead , especially at weekends to avoid disappointment - tables can be reserved in the resteraunt style room or the the main bar area. They do have an open fire!! .They also have some bedrooms ( we will certainly be booking a weekend) so this can be a great base for a few days exploring the Dales. The Locals seem friendly but then again I am from Yorkshire anyway ! LOL !

Damn, this place is good!
Was staying in the area with friends and found this place after a good walk on the nearby hills. A very friendly welcome, excellent local beers and food that was absolutely brilliant - and great value for money. Six of us had different meals (or combinations thereof) and everything was brilliant. We kept stealing bits off each other’s plates! The beef dripping chips are superb.
Will definitively be back when I’m next in the area.

Wonderful Fantastic Stay - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
“We have been to the Queens arms three times before but this is the first time we have visited and since Michelle and Matthew Birtley have taken over. We have always loved here BUT it has only got better since the takeover. A relaxed and friendly atmosphere as well as a welcoming attitude to our mental cockapoos makes this BnB a DEFINITE place to return. We look to return ASAP. Thanks to Michelle and Matthew x”

Great food n beer, cosy & welcoming
We pop into this lovely old pub in Litton about once a year after a long walk in this beautiful dale. Same owners for the last 5 years and standards are still high. Fab hot water pastry steak n ale pie, chips cooked in beef dripping, and buttery greens, washed down with moreish Littondale best bitter. Roaring fires in both rooms. Perfect!
