Location

The business is located in the delightful village of Garrigill close to Alston. The village can be access from the A686 which runs from Junction 40 of the M6 at Penrith to Alston or from the B 6277 which runs from Barnard Castle to Alston via Middleton in Teesdale.

Viewing Arrangements: Strictly by appointment with the owners.

The Business:

The trading accommodation retains the charm and character of the 17 Century building. The George & Dragon has the good fortune to be located on both the Coast to Coast Cycle Route and The Pennine Way which attract many walkers and cyclists and the letting accommodation has previously attracted a high level of occupancy. The village is an ideal stop off point and benefits from the trade that this brings throughout the year. The pub has featured in several Guide Books including The AA pub guide and the Hidden Places guide 2008. The business is currently closed as the owners are concentrating on other business interests:

 

This traditional bar area has a wonderful large open fire with dog grate and stone surround, flag stone flooring and a timber bar servery. There is a combination of upholstered bench seating with wooden table and chairs.

Lounge Bar:

 

 

 

With upholstered fixed bench seating, tables and chairs, carpeted floor, open fire place with exposed stone chimney breast.

Games Room: Games room with a darts throw.

 

 

 

Restaurant:

 

 

Separate dining room with feature fireplace and wood panelling to the walls which can easily accommodate 20 covers and has direct access to the kitchen.

Ladies and Gentlemens WCs:

Kitchen: Fully equipped catering kitchen with dry goods store.

Cellar: Upland beer store located to the rear of the bar with the shortest beerlines of any of the pubs on Alston Moor.

Letting Accommodation has been used by the owners family over the past 5 years and is now empty.  Previous bookings for other landlords have indicated high occupancy rates and would provide tenants wishing to offer accommodation a high level of income.
