Excellent accommodation in a beautiful village

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.

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.

I can't really fault it. The property is nice, staff were really nice, the room was just what we hoped for. We had a lovely evening meal followed by a good nights sleep. Breakfast options were all cooked options, although I'm not a breakfast eater so only had some toast.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely period pub spoilt by lack of attention.

Room pleasant but cold on arrival. Did not warm appreciably despite oil radiator being switched on. Towel rail not working so bathroom cold. No toiletries. Evening meal pleasant and catered for dietary needs. Room still cold after meal and radiators went off at around 21:00 Slept fully clothed to keep warm! Room again cold in morning and then discovered no breakfast available.

Nice eatery but freezing cold room

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.

Great room, beautiful surroundings and the guy running the hotel was very friendly. Unfortunately I think they were a bit short staffed on the day so it took quite a while to get checked in and then the restaurant was full so we had to go elsewhere to eat - which wasnt easy in a tiny village.

Average minus

It all started badly. This pub was booked because it had an EV charger but it didn’t. We booked dinner but the chef didn’t show up. We chose a room with a king sized bed but it didn’t have one. There were no bathroom toiletries except two bars of soap. Anything else? The publican was having a bad day but that is not our problem.
