Location
The cosy hotel is located in a rural area of Malham, a 10-minute ride from the limestone ravine "Gordale Scar Waterfalls". The Lister Arms is in proximity to Janet's Foss Waterfall and 32 km from Burnley.
The nearest bus stop The Buck Inn is 250 metres away.

Eat & Drink
The smoke-free hotel offers the à la carte restaurant serving British specialities. Gastronomic options include an English bar.
“This charming 17th-century coaching inn, nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, offers a delightful escape with its locally sourced meals and cozy atmosphere. The property particularly stands out for its dog-friendly accommodations and warm hospitality, making it ideal for families and pet owners alike seeking a countryside retreat; I think the open-plan living areas with log burners create a truly welcoming ambiance after a day exploring Malham Cove and Janet's Foss waterfall. It's a place where traditional Yorkshire charm meets modern comforts.”
