Nice, clean and welcoming place to stay
Very nice and comfortable hotel with some great foods on the menu. Room clean and spacious. Only issue we had was the jacuzzi was cold and the changing rooms could do with some heating, but it was January. All in all a nice place and I will be visiting again

It must be 30 years since we last stayed at The George and that was when it was a Swallow Hotel! Last minute booking and very pleased with our stay, gad a room that overlooked the river, the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet and a good variety was available. Staff were friendly and attentivive. They informed us it was soon to be renovated so we'll look forward to what it will become! Our next visit will be a lot sooner than 30 years!

The setting of the George is quite idyllic and, as on previous visits, there is a welcoming atmosphere. The beds and shower facilities were also fine. However, many aspects were poor and represent further overall deterioration. The washbasin in the en suite was severely cracked and had been amateurishly filled. We felt unable to use it and saw it as a health hazard. The bodging of the splashback tiles was even worse. The toilet handle was loose, as was the toilet seat. The main room carpet had not been vacuumed. The radiator paint was peeling off and looked awful. One of the tea/coffee mugs had tea drip stains on the outside. The bar food was decidedly mediocre, though not cheap. I tried a pint of the one draught beer available and it was undrinkable. The barman allowed me a pint of keg beer as a replacement but insisted that there was nothing wrong with the draught beer and that it was the best in the area. He seems a nice man but has no idea of how to look after real ale and what it should look/taste like. As with the problems in the room, the staff response was superficially pleasant but resolutely defensive and in denial. This was our third visit to a potentially great hotel but the experience has got progressively worse and, sadly, we won’t be back.

Property dated and could do with a lick of paint. Staff were extremely helpful. Especially the lady on reception on the evening we arrived. The gentleman in bar was very helpful.

Fantastic location
The hotel was situated in a lovely quiet location near to the river. The views from the garden were stunning. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was great. The facilities were good everything we needed, restaurant, bar and pool if required. Would definitely recommend. Great value for money.
