The George Hotel Easingwold

Excellent service. Lovely food. Helpful staff. Good location.

The George is a very attractive old pub in the centre of the lovely village of Easingwold. The hotel has limited parking but there is usually plenty of free parking in the Market Place. Check in was friendly and efficient and our King Room (no 12) is spacious and very smart. The usual tea and coffee facilities are provided but, rather unusually, there wasn’t a solitary biscuit between us. Perhaps they just forgot. After a lovely sleep in a most comfy bed, our Full English breakfast was as good as I recall, and satisfied my three basic requirements of a cooked breakfast, ie top quality ingredients, perfectly cooked and nicely presented - and special mention must be made of the sausage and black pudding which were excellent. The only blip, and a bit of a surprise, was the lack of any fruit options to start. We travel rather a lot, both in the U.K. and overseas, and whether we are staying in top hotels or humble B&Bs there is always a fruit option at breakfast, be it a fruit salad, a basket of fruit or even if it’s just some tinned grapefruit, so it seemed really strange that in a quality hotel like the George they don’t offer that option. Perhaps it’s something they might consider. This was our third stay at the George and, once again, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It’s a cosy hotel in a lovely location and the service throughout was friendly and very efficient. We will certainly come back.

So impressed with the food and service last night. Group of girlfriends celebrating birthdays and all the staff were so friendly and attentive to us. Food was beautifully presented and all delicious. I loved the steak pie and bread and butter pudding. Kind feature is that you can add a small amount to your bill to cover a meal for the local food bank, which we all did. That was a great idea and one that more local hospitality venues should take on

We had a pet friendly room and it was spotless, no sign whatsoever of previous doggy guests. Very clean, comfortable bed, modern bathroom. It was a lovely stay which was faultless. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, the food was exceptional and all the staff were very pleasant. Special thanks to the manager for sorting us a pet friendly table when very busy after we needed to change our plans. Breakfast another lovely event, they made it feel special, toast, tea, coffee and choice of breakfast all served to your table. Will definitely return again next year for our pre Christmas break. Many thanks.

Absolutely top class a real treat. We booked the Christmas dinner and to be honest, I could not have cooked a better meal. In fact I’d say it was the best Christmas dinner we’ve ever ate out. The staff were magnificent and the service was spot on. Absolutely cannot fault it. Congratulations to all the team. We’ll be back shortly!
