Nice, pub, pretty village, pleasant room, ok service, food ok. So far so good…..
Was asked to complete breakfast choices and time the night before. Arrived for breakfast at 8am as agreed to find nobody about. Waited in the dining room for over 20 minutes, checked reception and the bar area but there wasn’t a soul to be found and certainly no smells coming from the kitchen to suggest any food was cooking. Left after half an hour as was clear nobody was bothering. Even in some of the worst hotels I’ve stayed in, they’ve at least turned up to cook and serve breakfast.
Appreciate it may have been a staffing issue but I’ve heard nothing from them since to apologise or offer recompense.

I have stayed here before and the whole experience is good so I keep coming back. The food is very good and the Mason's Yorkshire Gin and Tonic is a work of art. The Forrester's is located in a beautiful village close to the White Horse carved into the hillside. Mouseman furniture is right next door and is also worth a visit.

Kilburn is a beautiful little town, and the Forresters Arms is a nice, quiet place to stay. The rooms are decent enough for a place to rest your head for the night after you're done exploring the beautiful countryside. The staff is friendly, but at times, I felt they were unnecessarily stressed and frenzied. Just the vibe I got. I'm pretty tall, so I had to duck around the place. However, since it's an old historic building, that was expected. Overall, I'd stay here again. The price is decent, the location is excellent, and the food is good too.

Friendly staff & warm welcome
Allocated room was above restaurant - so was a little noisy (mainly from the piped music)
Food was very good with interesting & varied items on the menu

A lovely place to stay in a lovely part of Yorkshire. the food here is excellent, both the evening meals and the breakfasts. Good value for money. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. Definitely recommend if visiting this part of the world.

Excellent stay. Staff are lovely, food was superb. The only little thing I would mention is that the room was very cold even though the heating was on but this was an unusually cold spell and therefore the heating may have just struggled a little.

The pub itself was cosy. The food was excellent. Breakfast - was tasty and staff attentive however would prefer to choose on the day rather than day before. Room was quaint but absolutely freezing. Unbearably freezing. We may as well had gone camping. Mentioned on check out however staff already seemed aware and said heating was on a timer. Ensure you check the temperature of the room and request a heater if it’s cold. Ours got colder and colder through the night. Very uncomfortable and disappointing for a rare childfree break.

End of Nov.
Staff lovely. Breakfast and evening meals excellent. Room big and nicely set out. Bed comfy. Overall look of Foresters very pleasant. Only negative was our room very cold (too few radiators and not big enough, had to fold curtains onto window sills to expose radiators and still too cold) also bathroom
( suggest a blind at window). Would love to return if room (no. 4) was warm.

My son and I had a couple of nights here when visiting my elderly father who lives nearby. The service in the bar and restaurant was excellent and we were made to feel welcome. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The food in the restaurant is very good. I prefer vegetarian food and I found plenty of interesting choices. The surrounding area is excellent for its views and scenery.

The property, staff, in this rural pub/hotel was outstanding. I would highly recommend it. Food and pub were excellent. It was a most pleasant stay. Kilburn was historic, and the near by town (6 miles away) Thirsk was also a neat pleasant village with shopping and the town is where a TV show is produced, and it is a short train ride to York.

We stayed in the accessible room with courtyard view. Room was clean with comfy bed and modern decor. The room was dark with a small window overlooking the beer garden, which wasn’t ideal. Window propped open with a piece of wood. The room is next to the kitchen so there is a loud fan during the day, it is turned off at night. The room felt out of place and far from cosy. Couldn’t get wifi in the room during our stay, also had to re tune the tv. We asked if it was possible to move rooms but it wasn’t possible as fully booked. The pub is lovely and breakfast good. Would go back but would not stay in the same room.

It’s not often you award a hotel 10/10.
It’s as good as you’re ever going to get. The two telephone calls prior to my arrival, the welcome upon arrival and the lovely food was spot on.
Comfortable in a really quiet and pleasant village with car parking right in the square outside the pub door.
You pre-order your breakfast the night before from an extensive menu.

Fantastic B&B pub. We booked the day of our stay as a last minute treat. We will definitely be coming back again. Staff are wonderful and inviting, breakfast is fantastic, rooms are lovely and well maintained. We took our two year old daughter and she loved it. She was made really welcome and catered for. We were in the pub with her having dinner until 10pm and no one made us feel unwelcome with her.
Thank you so much for our stay!

The Forresters Arms is a very charming place, quiet and well maintained. The facilities are good and the staff friendly. It is ideally located to go hiking in the National Park. We will definitely come back here when we travel next in the area!

This is a lovely pub with fantastic rooms. It is in a stunning location and the owners and all staff were very friendly and could not do enough for us during our stay. The bedroom was very comfortable, cosy decor and immaculately clean and with lots of little touches to make your stay perfect. The breakfast is fantastic - lots of options but I would recommend the full Yorkshire (although you may struggle to finish as they do not skimp on portions !!!) A Fabulous stay.

Lovely room, fabulous setting. Odd shower and very ordinary breakfast

As soon as we pulled up out side the look of the Forresters Arms was welcoming and the when we went in side to check in again the staff were very welcoming and the paperwork was simple and smooth couldn't ask for more.
The whole of the Forresters Arms was clean, the food was well presented on the plant and the staff who served were also well presented, will be looking to use again when in the area without a second thought.

Mix up over deposit taken was told I owed full amount not half even though I had statement stating taken they just hadn’t claimed it not my fault .. that was at check in after 7 hour drive not what I want checking in .. room very dusty and shower black mould and ledge in bathroom thick dust . Meals ordered in restaurant didn’t come as discribed both main and desert. Breakfast pre ordered night before we asked for 8 as had busy day and needed to get off however still took until 8.30 to be served . Why bother pre order if can’t get it ready for time booked . Supposed to be eco friendly by not giving out toiltrees in room but put plastic water and plastic milk pots in room so surly you would use glass bottles or carafe . Parking was a nightmare as car park near pub full so had to find parking space on road eventually Managed to move car to car park after customers left. All in all I wouldn’t go back too many negatives not friendly Yorkshire pub I was expecting and hoping for another hotel that keeps calling us guys we find this offensive being pensioners
