We had a lovely relaxing stay. The food was some of the best we have ever had in a pub, we can really recommend the Pie with the suet pastry my wife had it both nights it was so good. Breakfast was great as well. Thanks for a great stay, we would love to come back.

A short break in the Dales
What a great place to stay, with a very friendly and welcoming landlord and land lady. The food was superb and the portions were quite big, also the real ales were very well kept. We would highly recommended the place for a stay or for food, we will be back

Great place to stay!
We stayed for just one night, picking our son up from D of E at Aysgarth Falls. The landlord and lady were so friendly, and had a few beers with us. It was a gorgeous hotel packed with character. The bedroom was very clean and the whole stay was so enjoyable. The breakfast was top drawer, and sobtasty. We walked to the waterfall as advised, well worth it. Thanks to the incredible hosts. See you again soon!

3 night break
We stayed at The Foresters Arms in the king room for 3 nights. The service from check-in to check-out was very easy. The room itself was very roomy and the bed was very comfortable. The staff couldn’t do enough, they were very friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Places to visit, walks etc. The food was amazing, portions were big and the service was excellent.

Quaint and relaxed stay
A very welcoming stay, cosy pub, quite modern double bedroom, very comfortable, picturesque view. All the staff were great. Breakfast included and delicious.
Evening meal in restaurant also excellent, home made, and all ingredients as local as possible. Definately recommend this, (although quite a drive out if the weather bad)

Perfect stay in the Yorkshire Dales
We were made welcome from the time we arrived to when we left. The room was lovely.very spacious and comfortable. Despite the fact that the bedrooms are above the bar and dining room we never heard a thing. It was so quiet. We will certainly stay here again and can recommend the Foresters without hesitation.

Excellent gem of a pub
We have stayed in many locations over the past few years and this one is simply one of the best. From the minute we arrived we both felt at home and the proprietors and all their staff made us very comfortable in this gem of a community pub. A special mention has to go out to Diana (I’m crap with names so excuse me if this is wrong) who worked tirelessly during our stay and was so full of energy even though she doesn’t appear to sleep. Room comfort,facilities, food and of course location all first class as we experienced a perfect couple of nights. Will definitely be back and if we could we would give this 6⭐️

Cosy weekend stay
We were made welcome from the moment we arrived. The village was peaceful and was just what we expected. There was a choice of breakfast for any taste and the same with the evening menu. The staff were friendly and engaging with nothing being too much trouble. We would definitely recommend staying here. Well worth the drive from mid wales.

Fabulous pub and great location
Arriving at The Foresters you will be met with a warm fire and a warm welcome. Paul and Dianna cannot do enough for all their guests, whether you are just popping in for a pint, dining or staying in the accommodation.
Sometimes Dales pubs can be a little tired and scruffy, not this one! The whole place has been refurbished and in such a way that it retains the charm of a village pub. It is also immaculately clean. Rooms are comfortable and contain everything you may need, including a kettle, fridge and hairdryer.
The hosts take care over the beer, wines and food they serve and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We were also able to join in with the weekly quiz.
Finally, this pub is in a great location to walk Penhill and visit a host of lovely Dales villages in the area.
