The George Hotel Easingwold

Cozy place where you can connect local people. We really enjoyed the breakfast

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.

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.
