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.

Hotel out of the ark
The staff were helpful the food was poor and very expensive ( pay extra for cappuccino at breakfast) .Buffet breakfast very poor worthy of the most basic chain travel hotels .

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.
