Wonderful stay, as always

From checking in to checking out a lovely stay with friendly and helpful staff. Our evening meal was just as delicious as it was when we last stayed.

Hotel was lovely and well presented, staff were not overly helpful or friendly.

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!

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Great one night stay in a suite (free upgrade which was nice). Rooms lovely and clean. Breakfast was nice although coffee wasn’t great. The coffee in the room was lovely though. Really nice shampoo etc but the sachets aren’t very user friendly - would prefer refillable pumps to keep it eco friendly. Friendly staff on the reception desk. There is noise from outside crowds at night if staying in a front of hotel room but it wasn’t so bad that I wouldn’t stay again. Really enjoyed our stay.

Room 310 is high!

It’s was and is a great hotel. Very clean great friendly staff and great location. My only qualm was I was in room 310 it’s in the eves of the building and the stairs are narrow and steep. If I was carry more than a few extra pounds or a big bag or suitcase I’d have struggled. As it was after a few wines I went up with great care. Beware of room 310 bonus was its huge.

Wonderful stay.

Excellent room and meal in the restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was extremely busy with Christmas parties which meant we weren’t able to find a seat for a drink. Apart from this, the hotel didn’t disappoint.

Excellently situated on the high street. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room and facilities were ideal. My only criticism of the room is that the lighting could have been better. There were lots of lamps but they did not give enough light.
