New Years Stay
Second time staying at The George.
Confusion at check in we had booked a pet friendly room which the hotel had no record of. I did have the emails to confirm this but the hotel managed to find a pet friendly room, not sure what would have happened if there wasn’t one available!
Nice staff and very nice well catered for breakfast and a very pet friendly hotel which is important to us.

Charming
This historic hotel has charm! The bed was comfortable, the room was quiet. It's in a great location.
No air conditioning, but a fan was provided and the windows opened, so it was fine. The food in the restaurant was mediocre.

Older hotel (stairs only-- no lift) but fairly pleasant. Decent and clean room. Dining/breakfast options were just "OK"--not terribly good or exciting.
You have to call for your own taxis, which is rather annoying in a "full service" hotel; I was unable to get any taxi co to take me to the rail station, but the front desk lady was super helpful and found a solution--so kudos for that!
