LOSING THE APPEAL

I've stayed at the George a few times and its been ok This time was terrible. The room was fly infested. The curtains were off their rings. Window sill filthy. Then there was no cook for the evening meal, so everyone had to go elsewhere to eat. Seems there was no attempt to do anything to help out. Breakfast was dismal. 3 pitiful cereals. No yogurt or fruit. Bread was still in the plastic bag, so stick your hand in to pull slices out No attempt to make the table look appealing. No music. There's better places to spend £10 on brefast

Look elsewhere to stay

Stayed for 3 nights. On arrival I was told breakfast was not include despite my booking stating it was . First morning no breakfast as the chef didn’t turn up. Breakfast room smell of damp. Rooms are tired and need a make over. Meal service is slow . On last night I ordered. Food but it did not turn up. Had to ask. The chef had forgotten my order. Having a drink in the bar when a mouse appeared! It was just one issue after another and was expecting Basil Fawlty to appear at any moment . Would not recommend

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I appreciate that the linens and sheets seemed fresh and new and the rooms were tidy. My room was particularly spacious with a queen bed in one room and 2 twin beds in a separate room. The downside was that as others have said, the rooms are rather tired. Stains on carpet, chairs, around the shower, etc. That said, if you're just looking for a decent priced place to rest, it could get the job done. I'm just happy the beds were fine and the staff were nice.

Third time staying (or not) at this hotel.. Arrived with two very tired teenagers, this was meant to be a stop off as was travelling from Scotland back down to Kent. Got there and the lad behind the desk remembered us from the week before, but couldn’t seem to find our booking.. we had booked the deluxe cottage so our granddaughters had their own room whilst still under our supervision.. well it seems there wasn’t a room for us… they had double booked.. no apology at all.. we had booked this stay over a month ago. I will not be staying here again.. the food is awful, the staff scruffy and lack any customer service skills. We had another 4 hour drive due to them messing up the rooms!

Once a good hotel sadly cannot recommend itnow.

The check-in was quick and smooth with a friendly Junior member of staff, the bedroom was large and comfortable. The ensuite bathroom had a large bath and shower. The shower had black mould growing on the inside. and the toiletries were not replenished in the seven days that we were there. The towels were replaced once The breakfast to be honest was depressing, as there wereonly a handful of guests there was very little attention given to the breakfast, no fresh fruit or pastries no buffet options staff only asked if you wanted a cooked breakfast, when it arrived, The bacon was dehydrated and brown. The sausage was wrinkled and dried out. The mushrooms had dried out so much. They were tiny and shrivelled and the black pudding could not be cut but I did manage to break it in half! The only thing that was edible on the plate was the egg so the thought of having pre paid for breakfast and having this presented each morning was depressing, when I complained several mornings the staff member did nothing and were obviously unhappy at the complaint, no apologies or options were given. There was repeatedlyno hot water for the tea and it had to be asked for. Miraculously on the last two mornings when they were wedding guests staying at the hotel a buffet breakfast was provided and all the food was cooked to a very good standard, it left us feeling that the low occupancy meant low standards i.e. The guests can take it or leave it they have already paid.

Staff were nice and friendly. Food was well below standard, breakfast was luke warm, bacon and sausages overcooked. Ran out of butter and had to ask. Sunday lunch was mediocre but a very long wait 1.5 hours!! Ran out of lager one particular afternoon. Room was lack lustre and housekeeping was well below par. Plug in sink got stuck and couldn’t empty, shower doors were on their last legs. Fan didn’t work, no hairdryer. Towels weren’t changed and teas and coffee supplies were not replenished through the 2 days stay, shower gel container was completely empty upon arrival and not checked to be refilled. Wall between our room and one next door was so thin you could hear everything. Very pleasant setting but the whole place was badly in need of repair and maintenance. Dog friendly but no dog bins available unless you walk to nearby car park where there is a council bin.

Had a nice enough stay over the weekend. Room was very small but did the job. The room seemed clean but there were partially used toiletries still in the shower from the last visitor. Didn't have the chance to try the food but the dining area looked lovely and cosy. The noise from downstairs didn't carry up which was a plus. I'd probably stay here again.

Stunning location.

Stunning location, very clean and tidy , lovely food and great walks nearby. Beautiful beer garden by the river. Dropped a star rating due to a few housekeeping issues- no duvet covers on the duvets, only one remote control between 2 tvs, front door handle lose,no facilities to dispose of recycling and dog waste and dead batteries in the candles in the living room.Fresh milk would have been nice in the fridge rather than pots of uht. Overall though, a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

A pity really - great location, lovely building but needs a lot of money spent and a proper restaurant - The food was quite poor and microwaved - Staff were supe friendly. With some investment and given teh size of the inn it could be turned into a really nice destination venue - Try and attract a proper chef!
