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😔.

Food was really good. Comfy bed and pillows nice treat of cookies delivered to room. Was woken by fire alarm at 4:45am and neither of landlords really knew what to do and didn’t communicate what was happening leaving residents out in the cold. Other than that a good stay.

Excellent service

The staff were wonderful. The room was a good size and was welcoming. It was a continental breakfast, which suited us, as we were able to get what we wanted and take it to the room to eat. The dinner was delicious and there was plenty of it. Because the hotel is not staffed overnight, they asked if we wanted fresh milk and organised a little bottle for us. They also gave me a large bottle of water, as I had not had time to buy one.

Highly recommended

Beautiful building very clean and cosy. Check in was stress free and the guys who checked us in were friendly and efficient. The only down side was that service was a little slow in the evening in the restaurant. We had to ask for dessert menu and bill.
