Eat & Drink Report

Strong advocates of 'field to fork' fayre, our talented chef and friendly team take pride in serving sustainably reared neighbouring farm produce with 100% local provenance. We're pretty serious about drink too, offering 60+ gins for you to try, hand pulled cask ales, fine wines and a good range of non-alcoholic options for the driver.

Stay With Us Report

Travellers have been resting their weary heads here since 1679, but possibly not with quite as many luxuries as we provide today. Comfort and cleanliness are assured in all our rooms, along with peace and quiet away from the public areas, so you can enjoy a relaxing night's sleep every night you stay with us.

Out & About Report

The Marton Arms is an ideal base in The Three Peaks to explore perfect countryside for walking, cycling by road or mountain bike, caving, climbing and more. Simply enjoy the peace and fresh air with only the cries of the curlews and the lambs calling for their mothers as your soundtrack for a perfect detox.

Turned up muddy as you like on our trail bikes and couldn’t have been made more welcome. Food was excellent. Above and beyond well done

Love this place. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is one of the best I've had. Had evening meal of steak and ale pie which was lovely. Very relaxed atmosphere. Only downside, the rooms need updating but are clean and comfortable, doesn't stop us wanting to return. Thank you

Lovely meal with excellent service. The Marton Arms is an iconic old building with super thick walls (a legacy of when it was built, 1679) and very atmospheric. Recently renovated without spoiling the feel of the place. Recommended by my brother and now I know why.

Stayed one night here. Had a superb dinner for extremely good value. The breakfast was generous and delish too. However, hope the future renovations will include the rooms as those desperately need upgrading!

Fantastic service. The team went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. After completing the 3 peak challenge, we arrived at the hotel at around 7pm to check in but forgot to book a table in the restaurant. It was already fully booked however Michael managed to squeeze us in.
