It is a beautiful hotel, food is great and the people that work there are very nice, We have the fortune to have a room with air conditioning, so if you go on summer time make sure you ask for one.

Beautiful hotel room and the bar is stunning! But if you have a room overlooking the high street expect some noise especially on a Saturday night. This didn’t impact us as we were up late anyway.

The hotel was totally unsuitable. The pictures are far too flattering and hide a number of improtantbissues such as steep dangerous stairs.

Comfortable Stay with Great Facilities

Stayed for one night and had a great experience overall. The hotel has an impressive reception area, along with a stylish bar and restaurant. The room was very spacious and spotless. The corridor could get a bit noisy at times with guests returning from nights out, but that’s to be expected. We stayed during a heatwave, so air conditioning would’ve been a bonus, but it wasn’t a major issue.

Lovely old property, lots of character and charm. Staff are friendly and welcoming, some I feel are under pressure from senior management, It feels like they are short staffed. Which adds pressure to the rest. But they cope with a smile. Be nice to see more staff which would definitely increase the customer experience and enjoyment. Word of mouth is the biggest compliment to any business. Thank you to all the staff on the front line.

This is our second stay at The George. Our room was amazing especially as it had A/C on what was a very hot day. Stairs are a challenge with suitcases but expected with the age of the property. Bar and breakfast staff were abrupt but we put it down to the heat! All other staff were very good we will come back again!

Great stay

Lovely hotel. We stayed only for one night but the room was lovely and cosy, beautiful old beams but clean and modern bathroom as well. Bed was super comfy. Didn't stay for breakfast as was a flying visit but it was reasonably priced (£12) so would try it if we stay again! A little noisy in the morning as you can hear doors slamming but nothing that bothered us, no noise at night that we heard! We also had a few pints in the pub in the evening which was lovely, didn't eat there but the food looked great! Parking was £12 behind the hotel for 24 hours, not that easy to find but safe when you get there. Overall, would recommend.

This was a very fun and historic hotel. It had a lovely bar and restaurant. It is close to mass transit and we were able to walk to the train station. Go visit the castle, there is a lot of history in there. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The rooms were great. We were able to walk to food and drinks.
