A historic hotel with lovely staff. The only downside was the previous occupant of the bedroom had left towels hanging behind a door and they didn’t get removed.

Great value stay

We enjoyed our stay at the George. Highlights were the staff, quality of breakfast and value for money. Our room was a little noisy due to traffic, which would be the only downside to our stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel sits in a traffic island surrounded by narrow, busy roads on all sides which makes it tricky to access at times. I expected it to be noisy as it is a pub as well as a hotel but it was OK. There was a lot of seagull noise - they do not seem to sleep at night. Overall, it was a fairly good experience.

Everything about our stay was excellent, including the location. One thing I particularly noticed was how thorough the staff were with the cleaning as we passed through the bar area for breakfast.
