We stayed for 3 nights. The George is in the market square in the market town of Easingwold just north of York. It is right in the middle of the picturesque market square. We arrived just close to the end of the lunch serving but when we asked about lunch the bar server said she would talk to the kitchen about staying open,so we dumped our luggage and had an excellent lunch.

Easingwold is a fairly affluent and upmarket town so prices are a little on the steep side, but the food was good and had all the positive aspects of nouvelle cuisune (beautiful presentation) without the downside (tiny portions).

Our room was fairly large- on Saturday night we were kept awake a little as our room was over the restaurant area and there was a constant hum of conversation. However the George has a policy of closing the bar at 11.30 to compromise between drinkers and sleepers.

Breakfast was high quality (suggestion to the George- you obviously use quality local sausages but as these are chipolata size I would put two sausages on the standard plate).

Not many places to eat in Easingwold on a Sunday evening so we had dinner there- again excellent food and service.

I rarely give 5 stars as I expect perfection for this. As I have mentioned there were a couple of minor faults but overall it is pleasant, comfortable, friendly with good food. We will be back.

Yes, we have just returned from our 2nd visit to this great find in North Yorkshire. This time though we stayed for 3 nights. The George is a most welcoming place. All of the members of staff made you feel special, and it was lovely to meet the owners this time as on our last visit they were away on their holiday. Food as per usual was just the best, and a very good plateful. Diet is being started tomorrow! So very pleased we returned.

Friendly fun bar and pleasant rooms, stayed for 1 night and enjoyed ourselves yet again. The food was good.

On arrival try and park in the market place, as there is more room and it is free, we were allocated room number 3 in the main building (remember to duck on entering the room if you are 6ft and over) with a view over the market place. As we were directly over the bar there was a bit of noise, but it did not disturb us too much. The room was as expected, clean and welcoming, We opted for the reasonably priced dinner, bed and breakfast deal and we were not disappointed on the quality of the food. At breakfast you can mix and match from the varied menu. The staff were efficient, courteous and helpful. We will be back in May next year to our favourite part of the country.
