Great weekend break

After reading a review in a paper we decided to try for ourselves. The George and Dragon staff were so welcoming and friendly easy to talk to and very helpful. Our room was clean and tidy with lovely en-suite shower room , soft towels and toiletries . Breakfast and evening meal was delicious all staff made sure our dining experience was so comfortable. We shall return.

What a find

Beautiful place to stay and food was amazing. Its only downside is lack of sockets that I could find in the room to be able to use my hairdryer near the mirror. It wouldn’t stop me staying again. Also they are refurbishing rooms downstairs which would be ideal if they are dog friendly or me
