Wonderful experience at the George hotel. Staff really friendly, great checkin and out. Rooms nice, clean & modern. Would recommend and would stay again.
Jack, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Parking good and seemed secure, missed the part of a £3 fee when booking, maybe we overlooked. Our standard room was on 3rd floor, no lift, so wished we’d packed lighter! An old building which might explain the marked slope in the room which took some adjustment. Hot water took an age to come through. Beer great in the bar. Top notch breakfast. Very pleasant & efficient staff. Hotel enjoys great position, suited us on a long journey from the Far North….would definitely stay here again.

Great Hotel in Penrith

Amazing hotel with excellent customer service, very attentive, and great for parking and dog friendly.
Liam, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A nice traditional hotel in a very lovely town that has lots of nice shops, cafes, pubs and history. Hotel is in need of some redecoration of rooms, maintenance of building exterior in courtyard but not enough to spoil to the stay. Well worth a visit.
Andrew, 2-night trip

Older property with narrow halls and stairs, well maintained, very clean and comfortable, would definitely stay again.

The stay was good however, there seemed to be a lack of staff during meals in the restaurant, especially when children where eating with us, taking to long.
Steven, 1-night trip

Nice old hotel.

Lovely old hotel. Nice and clean. If you're any of the upper floors, there's no lift so be prepared to get your steps in. The food in the restaurant was great. The waiter was very attentive and helpful.
