Fabulous deluxe room. Great food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Lovely breakfast. Stay regularly on a trip through the lakes.
Lovely hotel with character, friendly staff, very impressed with the food. Only negative was i had to send 2 drinks back as glasses had lipstick on them. Everything else was great
Easy parking, excellent Reception staff. Room clean and comfortable. Christmas decorations in the bar/dining areas were beautiful and tastefully done.

Disliked: Staff & service
When i returned home, i noticed that the amount that had been taken from my bank account was more than the itemised invoice. I challenged this but was told there was nothing they can do about it. It looked as though someone had been charging drinks to my room. Very disappointed. I won't be returning.
Wonderful experience at the George hotel.
Staff really friendly, great checkin and out.
Rooms nice, clean & modern.
Would recommend and would stay again.
