I have just stayed here for two nights with 9 friends on a biking trip. The staff could not do enough for us and the food was amazing. All in all great value for money in the most beautiful location. We would definitely use this hotel again. Thank you to all the welcoming friendly staff.

Recently stayed for 2 nights with a group of 10 cyclists and found it to be ideal. Rooms were comfortable, food was excellent and the staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We were provided with storage for our bikes and the means to clean them. Part of our group were late arriving but Karen was happy to... More

Needed somewhere to stay for one night, and got sucked in by an attractive web site with good pictures and TripAdvisor reviews. The public rooms are tired to say the least, my bedroom was very small and decor not particularly pleasant. The bar area had a really nice fire but the the tables could have been cleaner. Ordered food on... More

Made several visits to the George last year as we own a caravan nearby. Reviewed them then, and now that the season has started again we went back for our Sunday Carvery. The price of the meal has gone up slightly but I have to say this is one of the nicest Sunday lunches you will have. Meat always well... More

We stayed for one night as I had a job to do in the area the following day. We were warmly welcomed, fed a good meal, (My steak was perfectly cooked) and enjoyed a drink in the bar with friendly chatty locals. The setting is gorgeous! I woke in the morning to a view of beautiful snow capped mountains and... More

We stayed here for a winter weekend in the country. Very friendly welcome and a loverly location. The bar with open fire is very pleasant. The bedroom though was very ordinary. 1970s decoration and the ensuite was tiny with a trickle of water in the shower. It was clean. The food was ok but nothing special. This is a place... More

The hotel is easy to find being on the main A44 with plenty of parking As you enter the hotel the decor looks a little tired and old fashioned but the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was ensuite but was let down by the shower room which was a little substandard. It was spoiled by the condensation... More

I walked in the door with snow blowing around in the dark outside, to a roaring fire in the bar and a warm welcome by the staff. My evening meal was simple but well done - excellent home made rhubarb crumble! Good local beer on tap too. The single room wasn't large but it was comfortable, clean, had a desk,... More

Stayed here for one night - The service was very haphazard and staff rather ungracious. Felt like we'd wandered into someone's slightly chaotic house by accident. Room was okay but smelt of cheap fabric conditioner or something similar, and there was only one uncomfortable chair to sit in even though it was a "family room." My husband ordered a latte... More
