We stopped off on our way back from Scotland to London as it was about half way. It is close to the A66 but in a quiet village. The atmosphere was so relaxed it was almost like being part of the family. The food, and real ale, were excellent. The room was lovely too although they had been having problems... More

Stayed here on overnight to Scotland in March 2013. Lovely Inn in beautiful countryside within easy access to A1. Owner very friendly and welcoming, rooms spotless and comfortable. Food excellent with very generous portions taken in restaurant with roaring log fire. Breakfast also superb and that was served in the delightful and cosy parlour room. Can take your pre dinner...

My wife and I travelled up from Derbyshire to find the location of a camp site we will be staying on during the summer. Decided to make a leisurely time of things so booked an overnight stay at The George and Dragon in Boldron. A lovely pub in a quiet location, a warm greeting on arrival and a beautifully prepared...

Dinner was equally fantastic. The food, the welcome, the very comfortable and tastefully decorated bedroom - what's not to like! We spent one night here in March and wished it had been longer. Arrived slightly early on a cold, snowy afternoon to be very warmly welcomed and made to feel very much at home. Fully intend to repeat our visit... More

We visit the G&D regularly and can't fault the food, there is always something different and interesting on the menu and most importantly it is always very tasty and certainly home cooked. What sets the pub apart from most others is the friendly welcome, a lovely pint of real ale, traditional games and a quirky atmosphere that is well worth... More

We recently had a two night stay at this welcoming inn. The service was fantastic. The menu is inspirational and full of locally produced food choices, the meals when they are served more than live up to the menu description. As a party of four people the rooms were ideal and the hosts could not have looked after us any... More

We turned up late on a Friday night after a long drive up North for a wedding. Despite the late hour, Sarah and the team were extremely welcoming and provided service of the highest standard. The food was amazing and the daily specials board had us salivating over every word. The majority of us had 'The Italian Job' steak for... More
