Breakfast was superb, choices were exceptional. The best.

great location - right in the heart of town, cleanliness and typical Britishness

Comfortable room. Cleaned every day. Breakfasts enjoyable.

great location ! the building is very very old but very charming. small hotel in a small town with lots of character. the Air conditioner was awesome ! pillows and bed extremely comfortable which normally in hotels this kind it’s a hit or miss.

Great location in the city centre. There is paid parking behind the hotel. The hotel itself is gorgeous and rooms were spacious and comfortably designed. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Central location, very friendly and helpful reception staff (especially Natalya), very comfortable beds and linens, power shower, nice communal area (bar, etc)

we’ve stayed at The George a few years ago and the place has really improved lovely helpful staff who amended our booking twice with no problems at all Thanks

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Check in was very straightforward. The decor was very tasteful. The best hotel breakfast I think I’ve ever had. Made to order and had gluten free options too. Even had air on in the rooms!

Excellent breakfast , great value , staff very attentive. Will be coming back,

The location, and history of this building are priceless. The room was first class in every way. 5 stars!
