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.
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.
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.
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!
We had a lovely stay in this traditional pub about 40 mins drive from central York. Drinks, dinner and breakfast were all excellent. Highly recommended!
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.

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.
Lovely little hotel set in a beautiful village. Duncan was amazing and very helpful and always on hand.
Lovely hotel/country pub would highly recommend this hotel
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.
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.
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.
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.
