Located in a small town, this inn provides real ale, good home-cooked food from local suppliers, a fine wine menu and live entertainment on a regular basis.

The George & Dragon has a selection of comfortable rooms. As an old coaching inn, the rooms all have different character and layouts. All have private bathrooms, tea/coffee, TV, and Wi-Fi internet access.

The inn features a foot with a heated parasol, secluded gardens, and ample parking at the rear. Live music is provided on Saturday nights until 23;00, as well as a disco party on Fridays until 23:30.

Please note that this hotel is not near Stansted Airport, which is a 45-minute drive away.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.1 for a two-person trip.

Just a couple of points but not that important. As it was just a one night stay, we travelled very light. Information said toiletries included, so took minimal bits. There was just 2 little shower gels and 2 little shampoo/conditioners, nothing else. No hand soap at all, so used one of the gels. But we coped no problem. And then, to enable us to have the bedside lamps on, I had to climb under the bed to plug in an extension lead! It barely reached.
Friendly, helpful service. Our tv remote needed batteries, asked and they were provided immediately. Food was good. Management were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble.

The room was quite cold the bathroom was large with a cold feel to it and the floor if wet was quite slippery. Unfortunately due to a flood in the room next door the plumbing to our room hadn't been checked to see if everything was working, so I had to keep reporting things that weren't working the problems were very quickly seen to
The Host was very kind and helpful The Staff were very kind and helpful. The breakfast was excellent the other meals good pub grub

The coffee, the music/band in the bar went on after 11 . There seemed to be no one down in the bar and the clienele staying did not seem to be there either to watch the nband , so why have them? the publicity should have bene up front about the level ofnoise. Breakfast was a bit chaotic, there was a large party so lots of quing. Had to ask for toast twice and the coffee was simply undrinkable, and I am not a coffee snob!
friendly staff the cooked breakfast was good (although the coffee was TERRIBLE and undirnkable)

Unfortunately the room was very shabby. Needs updating and a coat of paint. Then unfortunately although they explained when we arrived there would be live music, we hadn't anticipated it being so loud and just below our room. Sleep until the early hours was impossible, but achieved eventually.
Location and staff. Breakfast was lovely with average choices.
