Good location and breakfast, nice bar with good offers however room was nothing special, bathroom dated and mouldy smelling and, during the heatwave over the weekend so hot it was difficult to sleep. Staff pleasant and efficient but overall slightly disappointed.

We took advantage of the Travelzoo offer and had a great time, the staff can't do enough to please. The cream tea was divine. Our room was smaller than our previous visit and on the third floor, I was concerned at first about the proximity of the church bells, but these are turned off between 11 and 7am so no... More

We booked a two night stay at The George Hotel via a Travelzoo offer including bed and breakfast, afternoon cream tea, evening dinner in the restaurant, picnic lunch and nightcap in the bar. From the moment we arrived to the moment we departed we couldn't fault a thing. Every member of staff was pleasant and helpful and gave the impression... More

Great stay. Booked an £89 package through a travelzoo offer which they apparently do frequently. This one was two nights stay, two breakfasts, one three-course dinner, a packed lunch, a cream tea, and a nightcap in the bar. The package gave all it advertised. Staff friendly and helpful, room great, hotel creaky and old with character but money's been spent... More

I spent the weekend at The George with two other friends. The long drive from the West Midlands was so worth it. It is a traditional hotel with loads of character, nooks and crannies and a sloping staircase! The staff were all friendly, helpful and seemed to care that you were having an enjoyable stay. We got a bit confused... More
