George & Dragon Inn, Kirkbymoorside - Reviews & Ratings"Glad it was only one night." (108004634)
Good breakfast and pleasant dining room.
The welcome was less than adequate - no offer to help with carrying cases up three flights of stairs. Room basic - shower didn't work. I can get a cheaper and far better room in central London for the same price.

George & Dragon Inn, Kirkbymoorside - Reviews & Ratings"Disappointed" (107210815)
Food in Hotel Pub was good, staff were friendly. Call center staff at UKvillages.co.uk were very helpful with check-in problems we experienced.
Accommodation was poor value for money. Small room, not enough towels in room and the carpets were filthy. Vastly overpriced; beware the nice photos of rooms on the website.

Waiting staff in restaurant excellent, and table setting very good. Standard of food good, although not a large selection. Good breakfast.
Bathroom lacked a shelf and tiny handbasin meant that could not be used by women during making-up. Strange colours of bedding. Very poor lighting. Only good light was in bathroom. Ground floor room, looking on to car park, with no blinds or net curtains, meant heavy curtains had to be drawn across when dressing in the morning. Accounting a bit haphazard, and verbal inquiry as to whether one wanted to add a gratuity to bill when processing credit card puts guest in a difficult position.

George & Dragon Inn, Kirkbymoorside - Reviews & Ratings"We had a comfortable night's sleep and the room was quiet,tastefully furnished and relaxing. The breakfast was great." (107765815)
The room was well appointed with comfortable seating and beds. We liked the tea and coffee making facilities, especially the hot chocolate! The room was well heated, after we switched the radiator on. Everything was very clean. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of food and a good choice of different dishes.
We could only get a limited supply of hot water for the shower, which ran out before both of us could shower, maybe there was a switch somewhere we couldn't find? There were no instructions for the clock/radio which we ended up not using as a result.

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Breakfast was lovely and was served how you want it. Nice real ale in the bar. Would have liked to have tried the restaurant but arrived too late in the evening. I had requested a quiet room and I got one, thank you!
No TV reception until I found the end of the aerial lead that had come unplugged from the wall behind a sofa. Not able to have a shower as the lever on the mixer taps did not work, reported the fault and was assured that they would get it fixed.

room was very spacious. Breakfast choice was excellent as was the waitress' service and courteous staff on arrival.
Did not realise that payment would be on departure, thinking it was all paid for. Husband nearly had a fit when he was asked to pay again! Staff explained about credit card payment, that it wasn't taken at time of booking the room on line but on leaving.

The staff in the actual bar area were very good
The room was adequate. Shower was terrible, there was a hole in the sheet on the first night which was still there on the second night. The maid left the door open all day after cleaning. We made a written list of point to discuss with the owner when we checked out. She was not avaliable which was OK, but were told that she would phone us - she never did

Good meal in pleasant restaurant and a convenient location for touring the Moors.
Our room was in dire need of renovation with an ancient bathroom and worn decoration and furnishings.

The room was in good order if a little 'rustic'.
Car-parking wasn't the spacious '15' cars mentioned in the brochure. It was full one night with about 8 cars.

The food and the restaurant was fantastic and the staff really friendly. The accomodation being in a seperate building away from the bar was a big plus.
Had a real struggle getting hot water out of the shower and the room was very cold when we first arrived.

George & Dragon Inn, Kirkbymoorside - Reviews & Ratings"Welcoming hotel in an old coaching inn with plenty of character. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful and always keen to give guests their personal attention. The room was clean and charming with the only negative point being a shower head that needed a good clean or replacement. Breakfast was included in the price and unusually good quality. The restaurant had a range of menus from bar food to a la carte with a comprehensive wine list and everything we tried was very good. Service was a little anarchic at times but always polite. The hotel has its own pub with a good range of beers and real ales." (97359192)
Friendly welcome, interesting comfortable room, excellent breakfast included in price.
Shower head needed de-scaling.

However from the information on the websit I assumed our room had a bath and shower. When booking in I was told I had a shower only. However, I was given an opition and moved to another room. I think that more detailed infornmation should be provided on the rroms so that a more informed choice can be made." (97542695)

The room was very clean and airy, the bed was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent - one of the best hotel breakfasts we've had for a long while, we'll certainly return.
We had no real dislikes, but felt the bathroom was in need of a refurb, a shower would have been an advantage.

George & Dragon Inn, Kirkbymoorside - Reviews & Ratings"The George and Dragon is a traditional Yorkshire pub, which has been extended to provide additional rooms by converting adjacent buildings. Our bedroom was spacious and comfortable - though the bathroom was a little basic and lacked a shower, which is unusual these days. The restaurant was excellent - and came as quite a surprise being tucked out of sight of the bar area. We enjoyed a very pleasant meal there, and I would certainly recommend eating there rather than looking elsewhere." (99356891)
The hotel had character and staff were friendly
Our only criticism was that the room had no shower.

The hotel was being refurbished but the disturbance was kept to a minimum for guests.It was clean and the staff were courteous and friendly.The food in the restaurant was very good;.
We stayed for 3 nights on the 1st night the bed was clean and well made on the 2nd and 3rd nights we remade it! the pillows were to firm for our liking.

Cleanliness around bathroom sink was poor..toothpaste splashes on wall of varying colours. Ugh!

George & Dragon Inn, Kirkbymoorside - Reviews & Ratings"I would recommend it as a place to stay, it's perfectly situated to 'do' all that part of Yorkshire without the hassle of queues as in Whitby. The place had atmosphere, the owners and staff really worked hard but were a bit diorganised. As I said maybe short of staff. Food and drink exemplary." (3305159630)
It was quiet, situated in a lovely market town. The room was OK, maybe need some cosmetic updates. The food was fantastic and great value. Staff very friendly.
The staff were great but I think some of them had not been fully trained up or they were short staff. Eg last breakfast they has one member of staff serving guests and booking out... there were waits. She did really well and was coping with a very difficult situation.

Liked the garden area for residents only where we had a drink and chatted to other guests. Ample tea and coffee provided. Good freshly cooked breakfast. very good evening meal in restaurant. Good inexpensive wine list. Only downside was bathroom tiles required a clean with mould remover. Would certainly stay again." (3305027049)
Very relaxing. Garden area for residents only.

Yorkshire moors.The hotel was under new ownership, the new owners having arrived only an hour before us. They were very friendly and I am sure they will improve things.Some refurbishment, eg. chair coverings will improve the bar area.They have got a good restaurant and hard working staff. A pleasant atmosphere in the bar with local people using the bar facilities and for food too." (3304885080)
The restaurant was excellent. Very good food and efficient staff.
The room was on the small side.
