The Forresters Arms Kilburn

Excellent service and food really good. But our room was cold.

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.

Cosy pub with lovely bedrooms and an excellent restaurant.

We had a lovely visit to the area. We had almost every meal at The Foresters.

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!
