The Forresters Arms Kilburn

Check arrival times Pub was closed due to staffing shortage when we arrived. Had to wait an hour to be let in. Manager was very apologetic but it made us late for a meal we had booked.

Nice accommodation in the heart of the village .

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 pub hotel, with good food and very friendly and helpful staff

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.

Visited Sat 29 Nov. My wife and I have visited Forresters Arms most Saturday afternoon for many years enjoying a glass of wines following our walks in the White Horse area. Always a warm welcome and a good selection of wines. On this visit I was ignored at the bar whilst the bar person kept vanishing, I had to ask for service to get some attention. I asked for a wine list 'We don't have one' was the reply. I asked how am I to know the alcohol content of wines, price etc? Response was 'That is a problem'. I bought a glass of wine for my wife which was fine and a pint of bitter for myself which was awful. Bar person made two attempts to fill the glass which was filling with froth more quickly than the beer was being drawn. Taste was poor, not fresh, no sparkle. I left most of the pint and on leaving noticed a sediment in the bottom of the glass. No warmth or welcome feeling in this pub, so no more for us.
