Great option for travellers overnight. Very friendly staff.
Rooms are very tired and cramped. Saniflo system very noisy. No power to lights or saniflo when we got up in the morning so started showering by phone light then realised saniflo not working and nearly flooded the bathroom. Not the greatest experience. Nobody about to voice our issues. Luckily a friend had booked a room across the landing which had power so at least my wife could have one
Lovely friendly place to stay . Room was small but clean.tea and coffee facilities were available in the room. And not noisy with the bar below..staff were lovely and friendly and we were made very welcome.
Definitely will stay again
Lovely little place to stay, had everything we needed. Could hear music from downstairs but wasnt to bad and not late. Lovely friendly staff. Would definitely stay again
Room was tired and need refresh, cracked decor. Beds were clean. Light pollution from garden into room, lack of decent curtains.
No breakfast during weekdays, did not bother with weekend.
Noisy environment from pub and landlord’s flat next to room. Would not recommend.
We liked our room which was spacious and comfortable. Staff were very helpful.
There was a little noise on Friday evening, but then you would expect that at a pub.
Nice staff, excellent Sunday lunch that I couldn't eat because the plate was stacked. Warm and comfy bed, couldn't fill kettle in the small sink. Shower was feeble. I didn't pay for the ritz, it was great for what I wanted.
The Foresters Arms is a cosy little room above village pub. Room has everything you need including a mini fridge for fresh milk. Traditional pub food served by friendly staff. Worth noting that they stop serving food in the evening at 7:30 prompt, but the host will knock something up for residents. That being said there are plenty of other eateries within walking distance.

In the first room it wasn't possible to close the window. We was given another room without main light. Breakfast was very good.
Very noisy until 1am, room over the bar and beer garden. Sounded like a dish washer came on at 5am. Smell of cooking from the kitchen. Bathroom so small when you bent to wash your face you had to have the door open.
When we got there it turned out it was wrong hotel in grassington it was for the same hotel but in Cheshire. Same photo on advert just different area , staff there said it happens a lot. Very disappointed that this happens on a daily basis. This also happend to two of our friends who stayed here on same day and they ended up paying extra 100.00 for another room . We ended up going home wasn't paying any more than we already did for one night. Highly disappointing that this happens regularly and nothing gets done about it.
Staff were polite and welcoming, The room was very small with toilet in one corner and shower in another the shaving light did not work and could not be repaired as it was out of date. No breakfast or evening food available despite it being adverisised on their website. The whole ptemises could do with a renivation.
