I've stayed here many times, it is a charming village pub with great staff and good food. The rooms are clean and spacious. The local area is amazing, a must see is the White Horse carved into the hillside.
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.

Shut.
Couldn’t get in. Didn’t answer phone during afternoon or evening (5 calls). Mattress on its side in a dining area seen through window. Has to find somewhere else.
No redeeming features.
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
