The staff and food and service was outstanding and because I travel regularly on business and pleasure, and would like to stay again at this wonderful hotel, unfortunately my room lights seemed dodgy because they kept flickering whenever I used the light switch, plus also the toilet seat fixing had been botched up with tape and was practically falling off!

Good B&B pub

Lovely staff, nicely furnished and good continental breakfast. Room a little noisy with window open so go for a room at the back of pub. Food sounded good but we didn’t have time to sample. Overall very good

Rating would have been higher but…..

The stay was overshadowed by the lack of breakfast. We stayed overnight following a 60th birthday celebration. One of the thing we were looking forward to was the “Breakfast served daily until 10:30”. This is actually a not very interesting selection of help yourself breakfast cereals, yogurts, bread, day old croissants, hot water for tea or coffee. Certainly not the breakfast we were expecting and not a member of staff insight. If we were aware that this was The George’s idea of “Breakfast served daily until 10:30” we would have booked somewhere else. Very disappointing😔.
