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.

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with toilet in one corner and shower in another the shaving light did not work and could not be repaired as it was out of date.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.

Tv didn't work ..did ask for someone to come and take a look .but said nothing could be done as window are old said tv was due to cold weather ..we came home a day earlier than planned. But did get a free drink in bar for inconvenience..wont be staying again

Cosy room with everything you need for a couple of night's stay. Accommodation over a pub serving a good range of evening meals. On site parking.

I have been trying very hard to ger hotels .com complaints dept. Firstly I never got to the hotel because it was listed under Grassington Hotels north Yorkshire, When I arrived at the Grassington Forresters arms they had no record of my booking. I checked my booking reference and it turned our to be Forresters arms in Cheshire. Why was the Forresters arms cheshire listed in Grassington b&bs. Very misleading. Secondly I rang the hotel no listed for Farmers arms Cheshire to cancel the booking. I rang several times and was cut off each time. So it appears that I have lost my money. I think I do deserve some form of compensation as your listings were faulty and how on earth can you cancel a reservation when the hotel concerned do not answer their phone. I have never booked with an online hotel company before and I never will again. My reservation no was 984 -946-042. I have filled in this box but I reckon that it is unlikely that you will be polite enough to respond.

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.

Poor, do not stay here.
The rooms are very squashed, and it's right above a noisy pub. Not great for a good night's sleep.

Cosy little room above village pub
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.

Poor.
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.
