    The George Hotel is something of a local treasure, situated in the pretty market town of Penrith, perfectly located to explore the Eden valley with Ullswater and the Lake District just a few miles away. The lounge is popular with locals for morning coffee and cake, lunches and afternoon teas. The 2 AA Rosette Devonshire Restaurant's silver and ruby red decor, truly sets the scene for a superb dining experience, with menu’s that focus on simple, fresh, local produce. For more casual drinking and dining, relax in the vibrant Dappers Bar within the hotel.

    In need of a refurb
    Recently stayed at the George Hotel, Penrith and found myself very disappointed. The bedrooms were tired with damp patches on the walls, the furniture was very worn and the chairs were dirty where they had been well used. There was a draw missing from one of the dressing…

    My two sisters & I stayed at your lovely hotel in 2004 as we were attending our cousin’s wedding. We loved the family room but it did not have a shower. Have the rooms been upgraded with actual showers now as we are looking at visiting Penrith again in June of 2019. We are American’s who love our showers! I also must say a belated thank you to your staff as one of my sisters is diabetic & during the night she slipped into an insulin reaction. Quick thinking by our neighbors who happened to be a nurse summoned the front desk & medical staff arrived within minutes & saved her life. She will be with me along with her daughter & granddaughter in June of 2019.
    Is there air conditioning in the guest rooms?
    Nò. You don't need it.
