An 18th century coaching inn of character with open fires, a wealth of beams & horse brasses, standing in the cobbled square of this pretty Georgian market town. The George is a friendly, family-run Inn, enjoying an excellent reputation for good food in both our Restaurant & Courtyard Bar, together with some fine wines & real ales.
For those who enjoy browsing, Easingwold is full of antique treasures, whilst being only a short drive away from the centre of York with its many historic attractions.
Accommodation
Bedrooms at The George have en suite facilities. Some are traditionally furnished, some are designed in a more modern style. Each room has a colour television and radio, direct-dial telephone, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities on a welcome tray.
Restaurant
The George’s cosy oak-beamed Market Place Restaurant offers a wide range of dishes from its menu. We also serve a traditional one, two or three course Sunday lunch. Coffee is served in the relaxing atmosphere of our residents' lounge, with its antique kitchen range.
Parties and special occasion dinners are a speciality.
The original open Courtyard is now an attractive area where a wide selection of freshly prepared Bar Meals are served. An emphasis is put on fresh locally sourced ingredients.
The Bar in The George has evolved over the years with the removal of walls and small rooms into a series of connected areas. A fine selection of real ales is served, including locally brewed beers pulled straight from casks conditioned in our cellars. Additional winter warmth is provided by open log fires in the bar and lounge areas.
Galtres Fitness Centre
Fully air conditioned, state of the art community fitness centre with a wide range of cardiovascular and resistance equipment within a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. As a resident of The George Hotel, you are entitled to use the Galtres Fitness Centre during your stay which, though under seperate managament, is adjacent to the hotel!
Location & Things to do in York
The George is situated in Easingwold, just off the A19 trunk road, and is a splendid base for exploring the area. The City of York, North York Moors, the Howardian Hills, the Dales and many hamlets made famous in James Herriot's popular tales are almost on our doorstep.
Castle Howard of 'Brideshead Revisited' fame is close by and many attractions of the East Coast, The Dales and North Yorkshire Moors National Parks are less than an hour's drive away.
Easingwold boasts many sporting facilities and an attractive 18-hole golf course is less than a mile away.
Charles I granted a charter to Easingwold to hold a free market every Friday and two annual wakes or fairs and Easingwold continues to do so to this day. It's as pleasurable to wander around stalls in the Market Place as it is to browse in the numerous antique shops in the town.
The nearby Tourist Information Centre has leaflets with details of the town and maps of local country walks - you can find out many fascinating details about the attractive Georgian buildings which surround the cobbled Market Square.

Good location and well equipped hotel but the point that makes it stand out is the service. Staff know what they are supposed to be doing, do it well and use a bit of common sense when they need to. Not hide bound by the policies and procedures of major hotel chains that stifle staff initiative.

I had stopped at the George for morning coffee during a business trip to Northallerton, and promised myself that one day we would arrange a short trip. We decided to book a short pre-Christmas break and invite two of our friends. We coudn't have had a better time, the weather was very good and we were able to get out every day. Firstly to Helmsley, then York and finally a walk around the Easingwold environs with a guide of walks kindly provided by the landlady. The food was more than adequate and the quality was excellent. The inclusive booking of dinner, bed and breakfats gave us free reign on the a la carte menu, this together with seeming personal attentiom from the landlady resulted in a memerable stay which we intend tio repeat.

We took a 3 day booking at the 'George' with the specific intention of visiting Castle Howard at Christmas. On our arrival we were shown to our room overlooking the Market Square by a very pleasant young lady. We found the hotel to be very efficiently run, all members of staff being extremely helpful and friendly, nothing being too much trouble. Our room was very clean,warm and comfortable. The food quality at breakfast and dinner was excellent, always hot. A great place to stay. We plan to return in the spring. By the way Castle Howard was brilliant.

We would bre happy to recommend the hotel to anyone. Perhaps the only criticism we had was that we are used to a king size bed and found the double bed a bit too small.

From the beginnig we were experiencing difficulties over our arrival time including the possiblility of arriving at 2 am at one stage - but nothing phased the proprieter and his staff. Sandwiches would have been provided in the room for our arrival if we had arrived in the middole of the night!! At the last minute we were able to get away promptly and so could avail ourselves of dinner after all. We had a double en-sutie room above the bar which was very nice - when we got used to the sloping floor. The food was excellent and very good value for money.

An 'old fashioned pub' that offers modern day facilities without the 'Plastic makeover' that has ruined many a tradional Inn
almost to the point of extinction.
Hosts that truly make you feel welcome from the minute you enter their establishment and for the duration of your visit.
A menu that excels itself in quality, quantity,variety and value.
Accomodation that is both warm and welcoming.
A true 'Village style' location but only a short trip away from the beauty of York and the splendour of Yorkshire itself.
With 'Characterful locals' and traditional ales, what more could anyone desire?
Will we return ? Without a doubt !

The food was superb and such a choice. The staff have that real 'can do' attitude and the owners, Kay and Michael, were just the most hospitable we've found...great fun too. At the time of our stay I was on a special medical diet and the chef bent over backwards to produce very tasty meals from a VERY bland menu that I was allowed at the time...top marks to the chef!
Kay, gave us so much information on York and what we should see and do that it saved us hours and we tackled our sightseeing like locals. We're going again in the Spring to avail of the lovely walks close by and have recommended this venue highly to our friends. You're not taking a chance staying at this lovely 18th century Inn...it's got a 21st century welcome!
