Lovely deluxe room with balcony and views over the grounds and river Tees, at a very reasonable price. The bar seemed short-staffed, leading to having to wait a while for service sometimes (not a reflection on the staff themselves, who were helpful and efficient).

No staff, locks on rooms don’t work, had to change rooms late in the evening due to this. Once relocated the room smelled very bad from smoking. Overall not a great stay.

Staff were often unavailable, waits for both reception and bar. No one available to show us where to go at breakfast, day 1 was buffet, it looked as though food was put out at start and late comers had dried up food (we were 45 mins before end of service). 2nd day reduced menu at night because they had a wedding the next day. No choice of starter or dessert we were not advised about this beforehand or we would have eaten elsewhere. Food was just ok. Room was fine, but rattling heating system on 1st night kept us awake - seemed to be resolved by 2nd night. Dressing table did not have socket available for hair dryer, sockets that were available did not have a mirror. Overhead lights did not work. Hotel looking a bit tired overall. Staff at checkout couldn't work the computer and tried to overcharge, needed manager to sort it out- another wait. Positives, bed was comfortable and staff, when you could find them were lovely and helpful. We will not stay again or feel able to recommend.

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

We had dinner Hunter chicken and steak was good and delicious. The surroundings of the hotel were beautiful. However, our room was not very clean and there was a lack of facilities.

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.
