My daughter lives in the town we are from Staffordshire visiting her so we stayed at the George loved it the only thing was I forgot to mention that my husband had lung disease so he struggled with stairs as was out of breath so next time we will remember to ask for a ground floor room but everything else was lovely thank you

Dee United Kingdom

The room was small (47) but very clean and very comfortable. The facilities were all in working order and the staff were very friendly. I am a complainer, I could not fault anything. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and the service was brilliant. Will definitely stay again.

Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The evening meal in the bar was very good. Execellent service received from the staff.
