Very nice hotel, friendly staff & good service. Our room was clean and spacious, the bed was really comfortable. The only fault I could mention, is that it wasn't quite warm enough, but the little heater helped! We were delighted to find an open fire in the bar area, very cosy indeed. would definitely stay again.

Party hotel - don't stay if you're a light sleeper
Very noisy directly underneath my room until almost 2am. When asked if I could have a quieter room the next day I was told that there was nothing going on and that loud conversation had been heard from my room! Considering I am a solo traveller and had been trying to work all evening with noise cancelling headphones on (and no speaking) this was very odd. Hotel is really nice and rooms are clean and comfortable. I have previously enjoyed a meal and the delightful ambience in the bar. Was considering staying here very regulary (I currently spend 4/5 nights a week at Scotch Corner and fancied a break) however the noise was dreadful. There was a party on Saturday night and several of the guests decided to have a screaming match right outside my bedroom door. Nothing the hotel could do about that BUT the noise from the bar was something they could have apologised for and moved me if possible. After two nights of very little work and very little sleep I left and will not be back. It's a shame but the staff really let this place down.

Fantastic stay at The George
This was a fantastic stay! Our room was spacious for a family of 4 and warm for our arrival. The beds were really comfortable and extra pillows were provided. We added on breakfast to our stay for just £14 for 4 of us and we had a great selection of full English and continental foods it was self service and freshly prepared. Perfect for families with young children.

What a gem
Last minute booking due to traffic chaos. What a gem. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The setting and village are a delight. The breakfast was magnificent and total value for money. Would stay there again.

Great hotel stay
Stayed for a training course so long intensive days. The great thing about the George is the friendly atmosphere created by the team here. Found it to be a friendly relaxing environment, especially as a lone female. Nothing was too much trouble. Great bar too. Menu choices for evening meal lovely - something for everyone not just pub grub. Breakfast was substantial with some days breakfast cooked to order otherwise a buffet.

Quiet location, friendly staff, good food
Check-in was quick, but we are still waiting for the return of the card-deposit charge they took slmost two weeks ago . Peaceful location. Stayed in an external unit along with the family dog, no heating in the room (ok for one night). Very friendly and helpful staff and the evening meal was excellent. It's a dog friendly place, but we didn't find couldn't find any external bins to deposit the bags (staff member kindly took them away and disposed of them). This might explain why others are not clearing up after their dogs.

Outstandingly good staff
A stay of two halves. The double room in the main building was tiny, the other room we booked for our son in an annex was fantastic. No toilet roll or remote control for the tv in our room (but swiftly rectified by lovely staff) and really cold (fine when radiator turned up to 11) other room toasty and fully equipped. Bar full so sat in slightly odd and draughty restaurant but staff improvised to ensure we could eat and the food was excellent.
