A very friendly and welcoming stay whilst walking the Herriot way. Comfortable room and great bath! Exactly what was needed.

Enjoyed our short w/end brake with our little dog, everybody friendly, room clean and enjoyed our evening meal , lovely location and would go again

Lovely cosy pub good food,good quality ales, staff friendly and welcoming. Perfect location, will definitely be staying again. Diane & Jim

We took advantage of the three nights for two offer which included the meals. We were pleased that we did as the meals were great. Elaine looked after us in the evening and was very helpful. The room was comfortable, although it could be a bit noisy first thing as farm traffic started up early, but that was to be expected, it is in a rural location. Sitting outside after our evening meal was an experience as the only sounds we could hear were the sheep and the birds. I made the reservation via the website, however the deposit could not be made online and I had to phone up with my credit card details. Maybe the website could be updated to allow online payment? In the evening the place was buzzing with residents mixing with guests in the bar. We reserved a table for all three nights which was helpful as on one night a large party of 12 people arrived. The facility is used by nearby campsites and B&Bs and as there is only one other pub in the area, I would recommend reserving a table. Drinks in the evening were paid for at the end of our stay and I was asked to pay in cash, I do not know whether card payment is accepted. Fortunately I had picked up some cash in Grassington from one of the few cash machines in the area. If you are looking for somewhere for a few nights I would highly recommend the George and Dragon.

Good value for money. The host was very hospitableRestaurant food was excellent

From arriving to leaving our stay was excellent. The meals were gorgeous the rooms were very good ours had a view of the Dales. The atmosphere in the pub was friendly. As for the owner she lives and breathes the place. The building itself is quirky with original beams on show. We shall return next year with our dogs

The owners couldn't have been more helpful and the surrounding area is so beautiful. A real gem of a country pub with everything you could want.

This was our 3rd visit but not been since pre Covid.A Comfortable room with Four Poster bed and large bathroom.Traditional & very British with very friendly hosts.Good breakfast and the evening meals are excellant, with lots of choices.

Nice Dales pub with accomodation friendly owners/staff excellent food

Everything about this place was amazing!We had a warm welcome from Elaine who was simply amazing from walking in to leaving this place.Our room was cosy and clean with a lovely view, we ate dinner at the restaurant which was really nice home cooked food followed by drinks in the bar. Breakfast was plenty and tasteful locally sourced. 10 minutes walk to the falls. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend to others. Hoping to return sometime in the holidays bringing our children too

A warm and friendly welcome to a four night stay; taking advantage of the 3 night DBB offer. Bedroom spotlessly clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast offering a range of hot and cold options and the dinner menus were able to give us a different choice over the 4 nights. Highly recommend the Hunters Chicken and the crème brulee. Elaine took good care of us; friendly and attentive without being intrusive.

Easy from the the start. Friendly and outstanding service. Landlady couldn’t do enough to make our stay any more perfect. Room was very spacious and cleaned to a high standard. Amazing roll top bath. Breakfast was locally sourced food and tasted amazing. We dined in the restaurant and yet again food was delicious. Perfectly situated for long walks and fabulous sites to see. This place comes highly recommended and we can’t wait to come back. ❤️

What a fantastic place to stay, friendly bar and dining room with great rooms full of character. Dinner and breakfast was exactly what we need as we did some long walks in and around the area, would thoroughly recommend.

As usual a warm welcome to this lovely pub.Having stayed here a number of times over the years we have enjoyed the quirky decor and homely atmosphere is always a winner.

WE couldn't fault anything from the moment we arrived to a warm welcome after a long drive, to the splendid evening meal washed down with well-kept beer, the clean and comfortable bed and room, and the full breakfast.The welcome and service was most friendly, and we wish the G & D every success.

This is a genuine 17th century coaching inn. The place is furnished sensitively with modern items to really stick with that ambience. The bathrooms are very modern - if a tad chilly (we never turned the heating on) - and functional, great to have a big whirlpool bath.Lovely intimate bar with a mix of guests and locals.Location is breathtakingly peaceful, even on the main road, and a short walk from the falls.Food is good pub food, nicely presented and promptly served.

Let’s be honest, the main question we all ask is was it worth the price we paid. I can honestly say that I’d have not been too surprised if we’d been charged more. The room was spotless, the location fantastic and the food hearty! Add to that a good nights sleep on an incredibly comfy beds and wonderful hosts, then there’s little more we could have asked for.

We had a 3 night stay at the George & Dragon.Collette & Elaine made us feel welcome from the Vn moment we arrived. A comfortable room with aB large bathroom and shower. Good food and a cosy bar. Situated in a beautiful part of the Dales. We will be back.

An excellent weekend stay in a great biking area.Our hosts made us feel very welcome, the food was superb and great value too.Would highly recommend this excellent family run pub and b&b!We will be back. :-)

Thoroughly enjoyable overnight stay, comfortable rooms and great location.

We were touring around Yorkshire on our motorcycles and had booked to stay here on day three. We were met with a warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the scenery beautiful. The evening meal choice was plentiful as was the choice of breakfast the next morning. I would definitely stay here again and can’t recommend it enough. Thank you to the family run country pub for looking after us.

Another very pleasant break spent at The George and Dragon. The owners and staff were very welcoming and friendly. Our room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Food was excellent with a good varied menu and expertly prepared. A real joy.

The George and Dragon is a traditional family run hotel. The staff are helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The food is very good with excellent choices at dinner and breakfast.Anyone planning a stay in Aysgarth can be assured of a warm welcome, comfortable accommodation and excellent food at the George and Dragon 👍

The George & Dragon was a very friendly, clean, comfortable place to stay.Food and drink was very good.We had a very enjoyable stay.

Nice room, beautiful location and fantastic food (a truly excellent homemade steak and ale pie). Worth noting it’s only a short walk from Aysgarth Falls.Only downside was that this is a historic building so be aware that the pub noises travel, which can make an early night was difficult if that’s your plan. The food is all homemade too so you won’t be rushing your meals.

Thanks to everyone at the George and Dragon for an excellent and restful stay.The building is lovely, the food and drink excellent and the atmosphere was spot on.Just the thing.Will be back for sure.

hellopleased you enjoyed yourselves & hope to see you againthanks for the reviewcollette

This is a lovely place to stay. Welcomed from the minute we walked in the door. Food was lovely and the hosts couldn't do enough for us.

Hellothank you for your review & pleased yu enjoyed your stay & hopefully see you againthankscollette

The room was large and very clean. The bar area and dining room had a welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely excellent both breakfast and evening meal. Loved the Italian Night.Both Colette and Elaine couldn't do enough for you. We thoroughly enjoyed the break and intend to return.

Spent the Easter weekend at the George & Dragon - two adults, young teenage son and one wild dog. The George & Dragon were very welcoming, no issues with our large boisterous husky, comfortable room with en-suite, very clean as well. Ate in the pub one night, traditional pub fair well done and specials which were more adventurous and sounded good (but we were hungry for a big feed, so went with the fish & chips and gammon & chips). Good breakfast as well - cereals, fruit, full English with very good bacon, sausage and black pudding. Lots to see and do in the area, not least of which Aysgarth Falls, a short walk away. Plenty of parking, big enough for our van. Recommended.

First time at the george and Dragon. we were very happy with the room and the view we woken up to.Very professional and lovely family pubFoodwas out standing.We certainly will be back in September.

As always Elaine and mum very accommodating, on check in we were told there was a shortage of gas - but that did not effect our stay as ‘mum’ had provided heaters in our rooms so they were still nice and cosy. As myself, hubby David and Hector have stayed several times, Elaine had even bought pineapple for my Malibu- now that’s what I call service. Also stayed for food - I had the rump steak - rare and OMG it was soooo tender it just melt in the mouth. All our meals were lovely and the prices were even better. I would highly recommend you stay here - ‘oldy worldy’ pub with authentic creaky stairs and great hospitality. Can’t wait to visit again x See u all soon x Claire, David and the ‘Hairyman Hector

Lovely room. good breakfast

The george & dragon is full of rustic charm & tranquility, the owners & staff made us feel compleatly at home. the regulars were very friendly & entertaining.the room had all the expected facilities & the varied menu was most welcome & delicious, with a well stocked bar the package is complete. We can unreserveably recommend the george & dragon.

thank you for the review & so pleased you enjoyed it all. It was nice meeting you & hope to see you again soonthankscollette

We had a great few days of relaxation here: really friendly and helpful and substantial portions of good food.

We all enjoyed our stay at the George and Dragon. We had four rooms booked- all comfortable, nicely decorated and pristinely clean. Breakfast was fantastic. Ate twice in the evening and food was excellent although a little more variety for vegetarians would be nice. The area is perfect- close to Aysgarth Falls and lots of beautiful walks. Be aware if travelling with dogs that there is very limited accommodation for them- had to eat in a tiny back room which was the old reception area for the pub. There is a great atmosphere in the bar- very friendly and welcoming but the bar area is small and can be a challenge to get a table. All in all a lovely pub with great food and if you don’t have a dog I would highly recommend it.

A wonderful Dales pub with great beer and staff who were fantastic managing a party of 12 for evening meal. Lovely food, evening and breakfast and great real ale. I would recomend to anyone....four poster bed rooms are superb. Many thanks.

Had a really lovely stay at the George & Dragon, staff couldn't have been more helpful always had time for us even when they were busy.We stayed for three nights on there special deal and so pleased we did the breakfast was brilliant filled us until the evening. our room was clean and the bed really comfortable if I had to find a fault it would have been nice to have had a shelf in the bathroom.Will definitely stay again.

Having previously had an enjoyable stay at The George & Dragon many years ago we thought it was about time we returned. All the staff were extremely friendly, welcoming & polite, the quality & portion sizes of food were excellent, the bar & restaurant were warming & comfortable.Our only criticism was we found our room (room number 6) & en-suite basic & bear, we’re not sure whether this is anything to do with Covid & keeping them minimalist, but the en-suite could certainly do with a toilet roll holder rather than sitting the toilet roll on the cistern & a shelf for guests to put their toiletries on. WiFi didn’t connect in our room!Having said that we enjoyed our break & the special offer of dinner, bed & breakfast 3 nights for the price of 2 was extremely good value for money.

This family run inn was the perfect place for a short break. The staff were friendly and polite and couldn't do enough for you. The room we stayed in was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The en suite was a good size too. The food was superb at every meal and they were willing to make changes to the menu to suit my wife's dietary needs without any fuss. Breakfasts were also of an amazingly high standard with a lot of variety to choose from. The bar area was cosy and friendly. The locals chatted happily to guests and we were made to feel really welcome. Staff and locals alike liked to know what we had done that day and were always willing to suggest other places we might like to go to. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

Friendly atmosphere cosy room excellent food. Lovely location.

My husband and I have been coming here for years we love Room 4 . The food is excellentWe shall return ..

Comfortable clean room , food excellent as always staff work so hard , and cater for your every need , all staff are friendly and welcoming. Beautiful location and plenty of loverly local walks , it’s the 5 th time we have stayed here and will certainly go back

A nostalgic revisit. In particular a most friendly and efficient staff.

Stayed for 1 night as a last minute getaway. Pub and rooms very pleasant, food was very good and reasonably priced. Place is family owned and run and someone is always on hand. Would stay again when next in the area.

Stayed at George and Dragon Friday 30th and Saturday 31st of July in Room 1. Which was very adequate for our needs, bathroom was huge, plenty of hot water and lovely white crisp towels to dry urself with. Beds were made on the Saturday with clean towels, which we didn’t necessarily need but was a nice gesture. Bed lovelyAnd comfy, room was just to the right of the stairs so could get a bit noisy at times from people passing - but didn’t bother us that much- we slept in one morning for breakfast but when we did make it down on the Sunday morning it was well worth the wait. Great choices. Myself and my hubbie chose the ‘full English’ which was lovely - all ingredients sourced from local produce. Also had an evening meal, again great value for money and typical ‘home cooked food’ that most people enjoy. As soon as you walk through the door Elaine and her Mum make you feel very welcome, always attentive to your needs. They have a great team around them as well as ‘the local neighbours’ helping when they can. A great ‘community’ spirit. Well done everyone, Claire and David Stewart will be back very soon. I will highly recommend your accommodation to all my friends and family - although most of them have already stayed xxxx

The hotel was lovely a little tired but the rooms were spotlessly clean. The food was excellent and the beer was fabulous! The staff were very friendly and couldnt do enough for us. The hotel is ideally located for all the Joy's that the Dale's have to offer. A very enjoyable stay, excellent value!!

FRIENDLY WELCOME. OLDE WORLDY BUT COMFORTABLE AND CLEAN. OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF WORK GONE INTO REFURBISHMENT. STAFF FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. LACK OF LIFT MAY BE A PROBLEM FOR SOME GUESTS FOOD VERY GOOD

Great pub with great good food and accommodation. Ideally suited to explore the area

Hard working friendly staff.Arranged for an earlier breakfast which was no problem.Vegan meal lovely also no problem

Fab place highly recommend

Friendly staff, amazing food and quality accommodation. Highly recommended.

we have previously eaten here over the last 6 years but never stayed this time we booked a weekend stay and it was excellent the food is first class and the rooms are lovely if your looking for somewhere to stay or eat please give this place a try you will not be disappointed I would also like to thank Collette she was superb in very difficult conditions with civid 19 restrictions but still managed to make us feel very welcome.

We had a really lovely stay at The George and dragon. Aysgarth is a beautiful place and The George and dragon is in the middle of absolutely beautiful scenery. We ate in their restaurant both nights of our stay and the food was very good. Lovely people lovey stay.

We really enjoyed our one night stay. Our room was very clean, quietand comfortable and the food both evening meal and breakfast was delicious. Would recommend

Great very clean Room, food was great we loved the couple of days at the George and dragonVery friendly staff and patrons

We stayed for one night with our two dogs. Great walking nearby;we walked from Aysgarth Falls (very busy) up to Bolton Castle and back across the hills via Carperby. Very good evening meal in the hotel restaurant. The staff were knowledgeable and accommodating regarding my husbands coeliac disease. Dogs couldn't come into the restaurant but we were able to leave them in the room and then bring them into the barwith us later. We will be returning here again.

A real olde world pub just what we like food was amazing room was immaculate and the bed so comfortable and found our hosts to be very welcoming

We had a lovely time at this really friendly pub. The room and bath needed a little tlc but the bar made up for it. Excellent landlady. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

We stayed for 2 nights this last weekend for my husband's birthday, had to check out due to an emergency after the first night but were able to later return to complete our stay. John, Collette and family were fantastic hosts and made us feel so welcome. The food is delicious, the bar is so cosy, the rooms are spotless and the beds so comfortable! Perfectly located for the falls and local villages, the creamery etc. This was our second stay and we cannot wait to come back next year. Thank you!

Had a fabulous stay at The Dragon. Great atmosphere. Fab bistro menu. Everybody chats & jokes, so bring along your good sense of humour. Only disappointment was that we never got to eat in beautiful atmospheric victorian dining room, but were told next time to be sure to ask.

it was a pleasure to stay in The George and Dragon Inn. Nice people, wonderful breakfast, lovely quiet room and the homemade meals are delicious,

Difficult to find any fault. Excellent accommodation, food and great choice of ales.Would definitely stay again.

This is the 3rd year we've stayed at the George & Dragon for a walking break in the Dales, and the reason we keep coming back is the great value and excellent food. Very recommended.

Great traditional pub with good food and well kept beer. Hosts very pleasant and accommodating. Rooms comfortable and spacious. Will definitely go again.

A really lovely place, friendly staff, great food and a well appointed and clean room. Will be back!

From start to finish this hotel , it’s hard working staff and food were excellent!!We booked to stay for 2 nights over New Years. We had a lovely welcome , the room was really nice , number 2 and each breakfast and evening meal was restaurant quality. We will stay again for sure and highly recommend for anyone. They are also pet friendly.

Warm friendly staff. Good good and locals welcoming. Room was very comfortable and reasonably priced. Would stay again.

A night away for my partners birthday. A lovely hotel set in beautiful countryside. A good breakfast to start the day off. Would definitely stay again. Even Steve the taxi driver who took us to a near by pub was nice and friendly. A good night away.

Stained sheets and duvet plus badly stained carpet. Everything a bit run down. However, very friendly staff and lovely breakfast.

Stayed in Room 2 with Four Poster Bed, roomy comfortable & v clean.Meals included and as on our previous stay the Evening Meals are generous and well presented.A good choice and high standard.Breakfast set us up for the day,a very generous full English incl fruit cereal and toasT.A traditional Yorkshire Pub

We have stayed here several times now, never been disappointed.Very comfortable rooms, friendly owners and excellent food, all in a beautiful part of the country.Looking forward to the next visit!

We recently stayed at this hotel and only have good things to say.Room- the room was really nice with everything you would need for the stay. Excellent shower too wevwere very impressedStaff - excellent staff and John and Collette were friendly people who went over and above in making our stay enjoyable. The young lady serving the food was also extremely friendly and helpfulFood - the food was excellent. We had lunch an evening meal and breakfast. They were all fresh and hot and very tasty. Compliments to the chefOverall our stay was great and we would not hesitate in recommending this pub if in the area.Peter & Judith Taylor

Lovely rooms, great value, great food. Excellent position for going sightseeing.

Lovely inn with lots of character.Comfortable well appointed rooms.Food excellent.We will return.

If you are looking for a warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere you wont do better than the George and Dragon. With good food comfortable and clean accommodation and excellent service this is the place to stop when visiting the Dales. We will definitely be returning.

2nd visit to this lovely friendly pub, hotel bedroom quirky and spotlessly clean with a shower and a jacuzzi bath excellent for soaking our tired limbs after walking the hills . Breakfast wasvery good ,we eat in the restaurant both nights an would highly recommend the fish and chipsand the cheese board, friendlyowners and locals anda good choice of real ales . Aysgarth falls are only a 15 minute walk away definitely worth a visit. We willhopefully stay again as it is an ideal base for some excellent walking.

Stayed 2 nights at G&D, food, hospitality and bedroom were all fantastic. This was our 5th stay and it never fails to be an enjoyable and relaxing weekend. Thanks to John, Colette, Elaine and Ashley.

Pleasant stay with friends. Perfect base for exploring the falls and the dales.

We stayed Saturday with our dog and had a lovely time! Very friendly and the food on Saturday night was lovely. Beautiful part of the world.

Had the standard double that was cosy, clean, comfortable with decent en suite totally adequate for our one night stay. Good value for £78 B & B online booking with excellent "full english".Evening meal well priced and food quality well above pub grub.Would stay here again.

Food and beer were excellent, with the pan fried lamb to die for!Service was good and friendly. Room décor a little dated but clean and comes with a fab Full English breakfast. Only gripe, please could you put on some better music in the bar - Benny Hill and The Wurzles are rather bad 70s!!

Room 1 was a little noisy with road traffic and extremely small for two men.However, the bathroom was huge.Good food and an excellent breakfast, but stronger coffee please!!

We had a very nice stay, nice room, good size bathroom.Food good also made very welcome by Collette and her lovely daughter.We will be returning to the pub .

Lovely blend of historical features, comfort, and quality service. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms comfy. Great pub food. Limited deluxe suites. Book early. Great breakfast.

We have stayed at least five times at the inn and like it every time!

The evening meal alone was worth the visit, the Lamb and pork was superb with fresh local produce, excellent location and friendly staff. would definitely return.

Just enjoyed a lovely 2 night break at the George and Dragon. We recommend a visit , the food is wonderful, the owners are really friendly and helpful. We have stayed many times and dogs are always welcome

Myself and my partner had a lovely couple of nights here.The owners are really nice and friendly, very welcoming, and our room very clean and comfortable.The food was fantastic and the staff couldn't do enough to help.Perfectly placed for easy access to Leyburn, Hawes and many other places to visit.

A very comfortable stay.It was a little noisy in the late evening until the bar closed.We had a problem with the hot water on our last day as the hot water ceased completely and the shower controls were rather a mystery.Extremely friendly and helpful staff and the food was superb.

We booked a few days at the George and Dragon to celebrate my wife's retirement and as soon as we arrived there we felt at home. The staff couldn't do enough for us, the atmosphere was excellent, a real country inn feel to it, with an open fire, good choice of drinks and friendly clientele. We stayed half board and the food couldn't have been better, we enjoyed everything we had. It's well located for visiting various parts of the Yorkshire Dales and I would recommend it as a base for anyone wanting to visit Wensleydale.Thank you for a lovely stay.

We stayed as a family of 6 adults and 2 dogs. All were made to feel welcome. Lovely room with very spacious bathroom (dog friendly room). The only downside was that dogs weren't allowed in the restaurant area and the bar was too small to accommodate our party so we had to eat at a nearby hotel.If travelling as a couple with a dog or too, I would definitely recommend.We had a lovely stay.

Having stayed at The George & Dragon many times over the last 5 years we were not surprised by our recent visit, fantastic friendly service and atmosphere coupled with amazing food - faultless as always. We will definitely be back again, thank you

Cosy, warm and very comfortable.Food is lovely.Thank you Colette and John.

We had a lovely weekend at the George and Dragon.We set off from West Yorkshire with the snow shovel in the boot of the car as we had seen weather forecasts of snow in North Yorkshire and we certainly needed it.In deed without the help of fellow travellers who pushed our car from time to time we might never have made it.However, once we got there it was just what we had ordered: a pub with rooms in the most beautiful countryside with a lovely bar with a roaring fire, a lovely menu and gorgeous snug and warm rooms.All terrific value too.We would certainly go back again.Thank you for a great weekend.

Yet again a great time spent with lovely staff, in a very comfortable room and enjoying wonderful meals. looking forward to the next time

Lovely little pub serving wonderful food and good ales. We stayed for 2 nights in October and really enjoyed out stay. The log fire in the bar was a welcoming sight after a day out around the Dales.At meal times our little 18 month old baby boy was well catered for with a high chair and also a cot was provide in our room. A very pleasant stay overall.

We have stayed here several times before and were not disappointed to be here again.The rooms are very comfortable, the pub very friendly and the restaurant has a varied menu - the dinner was well presented and absolutely delicious!Excellent value for money too.

Only stayed one night but had a lovely comfortable room with a nice spacious bathroom. Both the evening meal and breakfast were exceptional, will definitely return.

A very comfortable stay. Rooms are clean. Bar area was welcoming and the owners and customers were great company. Food was amazing. Give this pub a go. Don't drive past. It's a real gem. Would stay again and would recommend without hesitation.

A very nice stay with a pleasant bedroom, good food and nice atmosphere

Really nice pub/hotel. the room (no 2) was beautiful. had everything you need and the price was good. food was fantastic,

Really pleasant and friendly hotel. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast and fantastic choice of evening meals. Would definitely stay there again.

very friendly and comfortable.ideally situated for exploring the area.had an excellent evening meal!

The George and Dragon is a solid pub with rooms, providing great food and clean, standard rooms at a reasonable price.We were travelling with our 7 month old, and they set up our room with a cot for him, and let us eat dinner in their snug, so that he was away from the noise of the main dining room and we didn't have to worry about him disturbing anyone else.

Chose room for walk-in shower and wi-fi. Both perfect. Superb breakfasts, even had wild mushrooms one day. Tasty food, the calves liver was excellent. Friendly staff. We will return!

We stayed two nights and enjoyed our time immensely. John, Collette and their team were excellent and made us very welcome; the roaring log fire helped, as well as their range of superb ales. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, and the bed was enormous. Breakfasts and dinners were both plentiful and tasty. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We had a lovely two night stay in a superb walking area. The Inn is very welcoming with traditional decor and a roaring open fire. The bedroom was small but comfortable and it did have a large modern bathroom with underfloor heating. We eat here in the evening as well and the evening meals were superb - compliments to the chef. We would come again - excellent value for money.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We had a compact room but it was clean and comfortable. The food is well cooked and presented. Portions are large, but it didn't stop us trying to eat three courses! Our hosts were welcoming and we would recommend a visit!,

Had a lovely relaxing stay. The hosts are very welcoming. The food is excellent. Will be visiting again soon

I received a warm, Yorkshire welcome both on arrival and in the restaurant and bar. The location is ideal as a base for walks. The food was lovely and the beer well kept. Wi-fi only worked in the bar, not in the room, which is a shame, but otherwise, faultless.

We discovered this pub on a previous trip to Wensleydale. On returning we decided to stay for three nights. What a find! The room was comfy, clean and pleasant and the staff very friendly. But wow, the food!!! Absolutely beautiful; the highlight of our trip. Anyone who enjoys eating should visit here. Some of the best food we've had in a long time :) we shall definitely return :)

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was lovely. We had a lovely meal which was excellent and good value for your money. And some good local beers to try. We will hopefully visit again.

We have just spent a lovely few days at the George and Dragon hotel. Lovely place, warm atmosphere, great bar and food. We will definitely return to this little gem in North Yorkshire. Thanks you for your hospitality

Stayed at the George & Dragon for 1 night. The room was roomy and clean. Hosts were friendly and the food in the restaurant very good. The log fire in the bar kept the damp evening chill away.Would stay again

A very hospitable and comfortable establishment in a lovely part of the World.I couldn't find fault.The breakfast covers all needs and was far superior in quality to your standard full English. I was very impressed with and thoroughly enjoyed the quality of the evening meal. Good well kept beers and comprehensive wine list completes the experience

Enjoyed our stay at the George &Dragon. Excellent value for money £75 b&b for 2. Excellent food and service. Room clean and comfy bed. Excellent location for the falls

We had a very enjoyable one night stay at the George and Dragon.The room was very clean and everyone was very friendly.The evening meal was excellent, as was breakfast on Sunday morning.I would highly recommend this hotel.

Very nice place run by very nice friendly people, room lovely in every way, food good we had an excellent evening meal and also a very good home cooked breakfast, would recommend

Food excellent,we ate at the George three nights in a row and enjoyed each meal. Breakfast very good too.Room clean and comfortable ,bath & shower good. Remember this is a very old pub and it,s charm is in Quaintness .

We were made to feel very welcome from the very start of our stay at the George and Dragon.The bedroom was very clean and comfortable and well maintained.We choose to have our evening meals at the hotel and the range and presentation of the food was excellent.We would stay at this hotel again and would strongly recommend it for service, comfort, food and value for money

This was our third (maybe fourth) visit to "The George and Dragon". As ever, a warm welcome, comfortable accommodation, a lovely bar and fine food and wine at a reasonable price.We shall certainly return!

Had a night at the G & D recently, after what we reckon to be a 25 year absence! Delighted to see the bar unchanged, brought back a lot of memories with even the sketches of some old faces we remembered still there!The accommodation was superb, and we had a great meal in the restaurant in the evening - the bar is spot on, with some great beers still!Most impressive was the welcome, different owners but still the same friendly "Yorkshire" reception!Thank you, we won't leave it so long next time!

We stayed for 3 nights at the Inn. The Inn was extremely welcoming and served excellent food. The location is excellent with a very short walk across the fields to the waterfalls and other lovely walks. Excellent ale! Would stay again and recommend.

Excellent customer service, clean and tidy rooms, excellent food and superb beers. A lovely short break and certain to return.

A most enjoyable stay yet again.We have stayed here previously and this visit was made even better by the fantastic weather which gave us the chance to explore the dales further afield.Would definitely stay again.

We have just spent valentines weekend at this lovely hotel, excellent food and hospitality. Very homely and spotlessly clean we will definately be going back.

A very enjoyable stay with good food, excellent beers and a lovely location.Wonderful atmosphere all round excellent family run establishment.

Excellent stay.Very comfortable room.A lovely friendly pub and staff,a good choice on menu.Food excellent!Would recommend to friends and family!

Great little family run pub - and you truly 'feel' the family facet throughout your stay.We ate there on two nights and the food was very good indeed - the far back room was a little cold - but maybe cus we ate early and it hadn't warmed up?Good choice of beer, cosyfire in the small snug/ bar.Would visit again if doing this region.

Warm welcome to warming place, great food and special accommodation. A place to remember and revisit as often as possible.

Warm and friendly greeting on arrival which continued throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble at any time. Facilities excellent and would highly recommend.

We stayed here with our 2 dogs for 2 nights. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and provided excellent service. The food was exceptional, we ate here both nights and had superb breakfast in the morning. The rooms were clean and tidy. It is situated in beautiful surroundings and is close to many tourist attractions.

We stayed two nights (6-7 Sept 2013) in room 5, along with our small dog. The en-suite room, although a little on the small side was spotless and well serviced during our stay and the bed/mattress super-comfortable with quality pillows & bed-linen. The ensuite shower-room was spacious, spotless and well presented.We ate both evenings in the restaurant where the food was exceptionally good (booking advisable). The table service was warm and attentive without being fussy and the traditional & atmospheric bar cosy and well stocked. There is a small residents' lounge should there be no seats in the bar after your meal (Free Wifi is available in the bar/lounge area but seemed out of range in our bedroom). Breakfast (8:30-9:30) was also very good. The only negative: between 5:30pm - 9pm noise and excessive vibrationin our bedroom through the floor from the kitchen extractor fan below the window. Hopefully this might be attended to in due course as it would discourage me from booking the same room, otherwise I would have no hesitation in recommending the George & Dragon Inn. A friend stayed in room 3 which we thought looked a superb room.

We stayed for 2 nights as a wedding anniversary treat. The hotel is well situated for walking if you don,t want to use your car. We had a room at the front of the hotel which was a little noisy due to number of heavy lorries that use road which runs right out side of hotel if we return would ask for room at back. We ate both nights at hotel as there are no other places within walking distance glad we did as food was fantastic on both nights if anything even better on the second night. My hubby had the lamb which he said was better than he had on a recent trip to NZ make sure you leave room for a pudding they are 2 die for. The hotel is well situated for exploring the dales we were made to feel very welcome good atmosphere in the bar as its small everyone chats to each other a super couple of days away.

Chose this place off the internet and stayed for one night.Although first impressions suggested walkers stop off point, what a lovely surprise it was!The rooms are good and the restaurant amazing, fantastic food.Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Warm and friendly people comfortable rooms,food was wonderful will definatley stay here again.

We stayed at the George and Dragon for the second time recently, as the first time, some 6 years ago we enjoyed our stay. The food is a particular highlight, well cooked and delicious. The fish & chips were better than I've had in so called award winning establishments, and the cooked breakfasts are wonderful, especially the sausages and bacon. The service is friendly and efficient, and I'm sure we'll be back in the future. The rooms are comfortable, although our bathroom floor could have done with a little attention as there were some cracked tiles. All in all though another great stay in a place wonderfully located for a walking couple like us.

This is the third time we have stayed at The George & Dragon over the last 18 months and each time the welcome has been great, the food fantastic & the accomodation clean & comfortable.I would definately recommend this place to anyone, great base for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Fabulous as always!!!

What can we say first you are made to feel so comfortable that your nearly sleeping before you fill in your car registration at reception we had a doggie room better than some of these 4*Food is fantanstic and really quirky presentedThe breakfast is super same standered as evining meal Go there and trybecause we are going back as soon as

Collette and Elaine very friendly. Great food, great atmosphere, Good company, 4 poster bed, triffic beer. What else could a man want. (Don't answer that !)

We were made very welcome and enjoyed our stay at the George and Dragon everything was perfect for a few days away. The accomodation was as we expected and more,Thank you

The George and Dragon is one of those rare establishments that combines an excellent traditional Dales pub with gourmet cooking and first class accommodation.It's a well established, family run business that we've stayed at on several occasions.Food is excellent including a hearty English breakfast.Cask conditioned ales (Black Sheep, Theakstons Best amongst others) are looked after particularly well and there's a great atmosphere in the small traditional bar. Rooms are comfortable, well equipped and tastefully decorated. The only down side is that the owner is a Leeds United fan. But nothing's perfect.Highly recommended.

We had a lovely weekend at the George and Dragon.The food was extremely good, the room comfortable and the hospitality excellent.We will certainly consider a return visit and recommend it to any friends visiting Aysgarth

Great, had a good time! Very clean and good food. Nice people.

We had a lovely three days the food was excellent and staff and owners very helpful. central to all walks and towns room was nice and clean the Lamb dish is a must.

This was our second visit. Our hosts provide a very warm welcome and are always eager to help. The bar is well stocked with local beers and the food is imaginative and very well presented. The location is such that it is an easy walk across fields to the falls and the attractions of Wensleydale are in easy reach by car. We will certainly be back again.

Excellent service, amazing food and wonderful location. Strongly recommend for anyone.

The pub is family run & very friendly & helpful. The room was spacious clean & comfortable. The food was very good with a varied choice. It was our second visit & we will return!

We spent 2 nights in this delightful pub. Very cosy and warm. The food was amazing and the staff couldn't do enough. Great time!

We have visited Yorkhsire for many years staying at various pubs and other accommodation.This is the best ever! We stayed for 3 nights. The room was beautiful, the food fantastic from a breakfast which was so good we didn't need lunch and the evening meals were of really good restaurant quality with a great choice and all home produced, including the home made ice cream. Finally, the owners John and Collette were brilliant and really made our stay special. The walks directly from the pub were also fantastic.We will be back later this year to be spoilt again.

I would like to say a big thank you to all at the George and Dragon. We had a great weekend at this freindly family run pub.Chilled out in the bar, ate fantastic food that was way over and above your normal pub fayre in the resteraunt and slept well in our exelant room. We will be recomending the George and Dragon, I just hope we can get in the next time we're in the area.

stayed for one night and really enjoyed the experience,owners very friendly,room a bit small but spotlessly clean,the food was excellent and reasonably priced and finally the location was perfect will definitely go back.

This is a pleasent pub/ restaurant in a beautiful location. It was clean and quiet when we stayed and the food was excellent.

Spent last weekend at G&D and had a fabulous time. Accommodation, food, service & hospitality were second to none. A great place to visit and we'll be returning very soon.

The 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the George & Dragon. Rooms lovely and food superb. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed 1 night 17.11.12 suprised by lovely room and brilliant bathroom.Amazed by food would recommend to anyone

We found the George and Dragon a friendly place to stay it was spotless clean, and the food was fantastic.

This was our sixth visit and once again we were treated to some of the best food Britain has to offer.Great walks from the hotel and very hospitable hosts.We will return.

Lovely old pub in beautiful Wensleydale.Stayed two nights and ate in pub twice.Very friendly staff. Small bar but good cask ales. Evening food superb, obviously got a good chef(s). Good ensuite room, excellent breakfast. Would return.

Lovely Inn, with excellent food, well over the normal quality of ordinary pubfood. Two diners absolutely special and delightful. Olde Worlde pub, one of my favourites in the whole of the UK. Wonderful walking opportunities straight from the doorstep of the inn. (we walked along the various falls, to Bolton Castle, to Carperby and back to the Inn. Route available at the Inn.

The hotel was excellent, cannot really fault it everyone was very friendly the hotel had lots of character, the food in resturant was excellent. Everywhere was very clean and the bathroom was sparkling well done all

Shame about the weather and the local floods cutting off all the roads, but it didn't matter being stuck here as the G and D has everything you need. The food here is the best pub food I have had and better than a lot of restaurants. The quality of the produce as well the execution of the dishes be it breakfast, lunch and dinner was excellent. The ales are well kept and tasty. The rooms are simple but clean and warm. My only negative comment would be that we had room 5 which was by the kitchen extractor, which hummed and juddered through the walls but this was off by nine at night and didn't really bother us too much in the end. The pub is very near Aysgarth falls, 10 mins walk, so good location too.

Had a great stay,rooms lovely,food was gorgeous, the staff and locals where very friendly.Would stay there again.10/10

We had a lovely relaxing break, the rooms were spotless and very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and it was one of the best meals we have ever had. Excellent breakfast the next morning, all cooked to order. Will be returning here again.

excellent as alwaysroom clean and comfortablefood - an absolute pleasure - only sorry i could not manage 3 courses every nightservice - nothing too much trouble . helpful and cheery staff

A very releaxed and friendly environment. Good quality wine and beers and top rating for the restaurant. For my vegetarian wife, it was heaven as choice is often bland!
