The pub made a welcome break and provided everything we needed. The recently refurbished bedroom was fine, although the bathroom was a little small and a bit sparse for a room of that price. We paid £150 for bed and breakfast.

The evening meal was very good with a reasonable choice of meat, fish and vegetarian options. We didn't have the cooked breakfast that was on offer but the choice of cereal and pastries was fine.

The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall it was a pleasant and welcome place to stay on our walk.

I haven't given the Foresters Arms an excellent rating because I felt the size of room and facilities weren't quite as good value as other places we stayed at on our walk. If you do want to stay there, it might be worth looking out for special offers or discounts to bring the price down. More
