A delightful overnight stop

We had a “new” room that was beautiful with a stunning bathroom. One thing could be better…a full-length mirror for the ladies. Breakfast was top class and dinner was also superb though our server was a bit random and forgot a second glass of wine. But the manager recovered very well by delivering at no cost! Location is good especially for a stop-over close to the M6.

Great little stopover

We only needed a place for a one-off stopover and the George and dragon fitted the bill perfectly. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant and the staff were very attentive and helpful. Recommended

Nice accomodation. Would have dinner elsewhere

Accomodation fine. Welcome greeting factual but short on personality. Evening meal menu was short on options and tried to be too 'modern and trendy' for my taste. Steak at evening meal was cold and served on cold plate. Bacon at breakfast was over cooked and appeared to have been prepared early and 'kept warm'. Would stay again if visiting area but would give evening meal a miss and find restaurant in town instead!
