The George Inn in Selby

Popped in for a catch up with my godchildren, & we had a meal. Basic pub food but tasty enough & reasonable price. Nice decorations up for Halloween. Staff member did make a mistake on 2 of the burgers but quickly got replacements.

Booked a Saturday night stay here as attending a Judie Tzuke gig at the local Town Hall from Bradford as we didn't fancy a late night drive home. Good move as our accomodation was only a ten minute walk away and I could hang up my keys. Room 10 was clean, the bed comfortably firm and the view of the Abbey a bonus. One of the two beside lights wasn't working (as the plug wouldn't go into the socket) and there was no plastic beaker in the bathroom, so we had to us a glass one. Not good. The cheap wardrobe with few hangers and no doors was poor. In the bar, my partner ordered the Steak and Ale pie (pictured) and enjoyed it very much. Beer selection and prices were good too. The locals were raucous at times but the atmosphere was good and football fans were well catered for with screens all over the public rooms, including at some tables. We had free parking for our stay, 10% off at when ordering food and drink was welcome. I was a tad concerned there may be noise from the bar or the bells, but neither interrupted our rest. Sunday morning breakfast was lovely. Along with cereals, fruit and juice, a choice of "traditional" or "full" cooked was on offer - the difference being one sausage, egg, bacon and hash brown or two. We both opted for the latter. It was delicious. There was a 9am rush of customers but the lady front of house coped admirably and responded quickly when anything ran out when it was pointed out to her. Even the chef backstage helping out to serve at one point. The hotel is in need of a lick of paint in places, particularly on parts of the outside but we felt for the price point it was good value and the friendly, helpful nature of the staff made our stay. Thankyou.

Comfortable hotel good staff in the centre of everything

Just what we needed, shame about the town power cut, but service continued well despite that, thank you

Great location, good food, friendly service and right in town center - car parking also a bonus

Great food and drink, stayed the night, very nice rooms a d beds..Parking dump sat nav..it's left passed bookies left again left again, and straight o with car park on your right .and then free parking and easy access to George..

Really good stay here at The George Inn in Selby. Location is amazing, right in the centre, next to the Abbey. Very friendly staff and whole pub is dog friendly. Good car parking, behind the pub (just give your rego to the staff as they have to log it into their system to stop you getting a fine). Great pub food and the cooked breakfast (choice given) included in the price is excellent! For people travelling with a dog (like us) there’s green space out the front (near the Abbey) to walk/toilet and the pub provides water bowls and treats in the pub. For wheelchair users, the pub is all ground level and the rooms are upstairs, we didn’t see a lift but you’d have to check with the pub for accessibility information.

Stayed 1 night, staff were friendly and polite. Room was clean, cosy and really comfy beds slept really well. Bathroom could do with a bit of updating but had everything we needed. Breakfast was lovely. Free parking. We enjoyed our stay and was exellent value for money will definitely stay again...😊

Had a quick bite to eat and sore some friends, very friendly and kind staff

THE POACHED EGGS ARE A MUST. BEST I'VE EVER HAD!!

Very nice room , comfy bed and slept like a log. Superb breakfast, unlimited coffee and toast, staff very friendly and professional. Will definitely stay again

Had food, really nice but couldn't handle the large group of people coming in

Straightforward pub inn. Rooms clean. Good breakfast. Can be a bit noisy but that's its central local.

This was nice little find and we have revisited since the last bank holiday. We stayed overnight on two separate occasions and found everything excellent: the room, the food, breakfast and all staff were very welcoming, kind and accommodating. Great atmosphere from the music. Food was reasonably priced and delicious. We will be back soon!

We stopped here for 1 night on our way to Yorkshire and we had a lovely stay! The staff is very friendly, and the vegetarian breakfast was excellent. Clean rooms and dog friendly too.

Great town centre location and good spot for cyclists to stay overnight. Rooms a bit tired but ok.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at the George. The staff were very polite and helpful. The room was clean, well appointed and the bed firm and comfortable, we slept well. The toiletries in the bathroom were a very nice and welcome touch. The guest discount on drinks was a surprising benefit to our stay and we enjoyed many a pint in the beer garden. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast with everything cooked to our liking. The Abbey bells accompanied our food which was an amazing and very special experience. We couldn't fault our stay and we will be back again soon.

I support a person with learning difficulties who loves to eat here, so I take them.

Location is a 'little tired'. Meal in the pub was nice and good value. Wi-Fi is supplied, but was so slow it was unusable. Single bed room was a reasonable size. Pub is right in the centre of Selby, if that's where you want to be. Free parking, but I suspect it will fill up quickly.

Friendly staff and rooms were clean enough but very dated and in desperate need of a refurb. No proper handle on bathroom door which stuck a bit. Just a littlentired really but it is an old building.

Great location next to the Abbey Sunny terrace at the front Good atmosphere

Nice staff reasonable prices decent food but in need of a full revamp

Good for a meal speedy service no complaints

The bar is delightful as much as the hotel in itself. The food and drinks are quite cheap for the quality !! Don’t hesitate to eat there if you want, it’s really worth the money. You can even play retro video games at your own table, as some high tables are provided with a tv of their own. Free parking just behind the hotel. Very dog friendly !!

Excellent place with lovely staff

Good value for money accommodation in the centre of Selby with a decent breakfast included.

Convenient for train into York. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable and clean room, although bathroom in need of updating. Room fairly well insulated so not too much disturbance from pub noise. Breakfast excellent, nothing too much trouble. Overall, good value for money.

Called in for lunch. It was disgusting, sauces on big breakfast appeared uncooked, fried eggs overdone and ripped on plate. Horrendous meal

Shabby Hotel inside and outside put shelby to shame. Room okish but paper peeling of wall !!!. Evening meal was just edible but definitely been warmed up brioche bun burnt no apologies. Coffee machine broke..staff unfriendly

Really good breakfast, just over a tenner and it was huge, see the photo above. 👌👌👌👌

As an old pub with a very reasonable price point for both accommodation & food / drink, I've given my ratings based on expectations & not a comparison to the Ritz.

Great value drinks and food and a central location for exploring Selby and surrounding area.

Comfy rooms although nay be a bit noisy if you are on first floor. Evening meals were very tasty and the breakfast was excellent

Lovely breakfast. Not greasy just perfect.

Great rooms, great food and staff were friendly and helpful

Beautiful place in the heart of the town next too Selby abbey food gorgeous n cheap service good. Will definitely be visiting again soon

Bought my two daughters with me from Kent and got the family room. Was really impressed with the George Inn. Room was lovely, clean and fair size too. Also had a lovely view out the window of the Abbey and the staff were really nice and friendly. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be my number one choice when we come back.

Nice hotel lovely food reasonably priced friendly staff

Absolutely lovely. Clean & warm. Room, staff, food and location excellent. Thankyou very much x

Fabulous stay, staff welcoming and helpful. Would recommend to anyone to stay here.

Just had a drink but it was a great pub x

Nice hotel side of the Abbey, nice friendly staff, good choice of drinks 🍻

Absolutely lovely hotel, free parking at the rear. Really clean. Good sized rooms. Nice bed and pillows. Breakfast was massive. Right next to Selby Abbey. Will definitely stay again. Only downside was no lift but I did request a low floor due to mobility and was given one.

Couple of pints and a game of darts

Here 1 night. Very pleasant stay. Room was basic, but clean. Tea and coffee, tv etc(not all channels work, but who cares!) Bathroom with a bath and a shower. Bed was large, and very comfortable. Room was lovely and warm. Location is brilliant, close to the station and all amenities. Breakfast was excellent, with a large choice hot and cold. Fresh coffee- help yourself. This is a really great place to stay, and excellent value for money. Thank you

Just had a 2 night stay. We have known this hotel for many years, some good some bad, now I think they've got it back to good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Had breakfast and an evening meal both excellent and bar prices very reasonable. Will be visiting again

Clean and spacious rooms, nice and polite service, very atmospheric pub in the very center of the town.

My partner and I popped in for a drink on New Year's Day after a walk. Not many places were open. As we went to walk through the door , a young woman was smoking in the doorway and shouted over to a friend/colleague "Why are they all coming in here?!" In an exasperated tone. Charming!! Clearly within earshot as we walked past and she wanted us to hear. Not the warmest of welcomes for us, New to Selby and looking for friendly pitstop. The same girl who had been smoking by the door way served us. It was busy in the pub with a good natured crowd. She was fairly neutral whilst serving us but certainly not as friendly as I would have expected. I asked if there were any spaces to sit down at tables and she gestured over to a right hand side panelled room. Once sat down, I felt a bit more relaxed and the drinks were nice. However, I would expect a warmer welcome and this girl clearly needs to understand positive customer.service in the hospitality industry as they pay your wages! I will have to think hard as it left an uneasy taste for me if I want to return, which is a shame as otherwise it was a nice atmosphere and seems like a good pub.

Extremely good value. The rooms were very clean. 10% off bar and restaurant when staying there.

Loved it. Good vibe, staff really friendly, steak a bit over done but we'll forgive that. Would definitely stay again.

Veg very under cooked which was cold funny taste to turkey. Very upsetting for the price. Got the mince pies but NO coffees or tea at the end.

Such a lovely place to stay! Great food, great rooms! Will definitely stay here again, and highly recommend!

Great place good price on drinks and excellent staff

This is a review for the pub - I have never stayed here. I have eaten here numerous times...breakfast lunch and dinner times. I can recommend the small plates on their menu. They are great whether you're in a small group or a large group. Always friendly service and a nice atmosphere

Very good pub/Inn in the centre of Selby. Can't comment on accommodation, but visit regularly for breakfast. Brilliant breakfasts - always freshly cooked. Decent prices. It's definitely worth visiting for breakfast.

Nice breakfast,quick service, friendly staff

Location is good. Right next to the Abbey. However, the food was mediocre at best for the price and they forgot us until we had to mention that we had waited over half an hour for our food. Friendly pub, though, and dog friendly too.

Good food quick service friendly staff

We enjoy the long island ice tea before dinner.

Room was warm and spacious, right in the centre next to the Abbey

Came for a Club Anniversary 'Do' and had great service & a lovely buffet. Lovely location too near the Abbey.

Great stay at the George in Shelby. Friendly and welcoming service from the team. Good location for York which is approximately 20-30 mins away by car.

Cracking little venue. Good hosting & 5 Star services

The staff was very welcoming, especially Diana with her uplifting mood constantly making sure we’re having a great stay. She was kind and polite. Brilliant customer service.

Diana is the most welcoming staff I have ever met. She really went above and beyond. Absolute credit to the business. Keep up the good job

Customer Service from the team leader was impeccable and the rooms are spotless and very homey. will definitely recommend.

Didn't get a room only went for food. LOVED IT. Wonderful staff.

The service from the lovely bar staff was brilliant from start to finish. Very accommodating, and a great help in advising local places to visit, the service in the bar area was top notch. The rooms were nice and clean and plenty of space, nice and quiet too. Many thanks all, it was really appreciated Damien & Moll.

Dirty. Staff can't be bothered to serve people and just look at you with a blank expression.

Great value. Great breakfast. Great service. Dog friendly.

Lovely pub and friendly staff. We stayed in the hotel the room was very clean and the beds were comfy! The manager was extremely informative about Selby and the surrounding areas.

Warm, friendly and very attentive staff who tookcare of us and our 2 dogs. Clean rooms and comfy beds. Fantastic breakfast and a beautiful location. Definitely worth a visit. We will be staying again.

Just had coffee outside. Have done this several times - very relaxing and good coffee

Nice little pub, great food, nice staff, shame we're only in the area twice a year!

Checked in but found out no parking drove for 5hrs to get drove around for over 1hr to try and find some parking went back to hotel Checked back out drove home

Cool comfy little place. Everything you need

Stayed a night with my cycling girlfriend's. Excellent service from all staff. Would definitely stay again while on our travels.

Typical hotel, comfortable rooms with wifi access. The service is friendly and the price remains very affordable. In short, a good night's sleep and right next to the abbey.

Good pub grub, service is a bit slow but staff a great

Stayed here a few times on business - always a friendly welcome, a good pint and a sunny beer garden. Hearty breakfast, proper coffee and again, great service. My go-to place every time and would recommend.

Lively town centre pub with good drinks offers.

Parking brilliant. Just a great place to stay in the centre of Selby by the Abbey.

Nice room, comfortable bed, big shower (although the pull light switch in the bathroom didnt work). Decent pub good selection of beer with a lovely beer garden at the back. Staff were pleasant and smiling, always a bonus
