George And Dragon - Eden

The food is really good definitely worth coming for and the rooms were very nice and well laid out. There is a good amount of parking spaces. However, on arrival (after travelling for over four hours) the lady who greeted us was abrupt, verging on grumpy. We were an hour or two early before we were meant to check in but she did act a bit like how dare we arrive at that time and that did affect the whole experience for us. In other words, the opposite of a warm welcome.

We were staying in Grasmere but had dinner there which was fabulous. I can’t wait to go back yum yum yum!

Fantastic rooms, great breakfast. Was just a little disappointed with evening meal. I feel a bit like a food critic on Masterchef but the lamb dish just lack a Jus to bring the dish together (somewhat lacking a sauce), and the lamb rump was a little tough. A shame as clearly a great reputation and venue.

We visited for a roast dinner on Sunday afternoon. The food was delicious, we both had beef of which was cooked to perfection (pink and melt in the mouth), there was plenty of meat with lots of veg and a huge Yorkshire pudding! We opted for a sticky toffee sundae and eton mess for desert, again, these were beautiful but maybe a little on the small side for our liking. The service was good with a couple of attentive servers but we did wait a little while after sitting down to order drinks and then again to order our food. Well worth a visit for the food, and great if you’re not looking for super quick service.

I first went to the George and Dragon when very first open with the owner’s mother. It was good then but it now is quite superb. The attention to detail knows no bounds, lovely smiling staff who are very helpful. I was so comfortable and even asked if I could buy one of their pillows as so perfect. A very family atmosphere without it being overdone. Breakfast was delicious and I was sad to leave to go north. I could not recommend more highly. Good luck.
