Very disappointing
Pros:

Location in town really nice. Room nicely furnished.

Cons:

Portable air conditioning unit in room very noisy. Room was very warm without the unit switched on. Room above garden bar area. Breakfast was very disappointing - it was included in package but from the menu it looked very overpriced. No choice to have cereals or toast. The waitress was not that helpful at breakfast. Porridge came with a jam/fruit already mixed and was very sweet. Need to improve choices.

We've already decided we must come back for a longer stay
Pros:

We had an all too short stay at the George (one night before our son's graduation) and have already decided we want to go back for a longer stay.
It was delightful 😊

Week in the peaks
Pros:

The bed was massive and so comfortable. The shower over the bath very powerful and the toiletries smelled divine.
I had dinner and it was very tasty and well presented.
The longbow app is marvelous for discounts, free gin and tonic, what's not to like?

The staff are very welcoming.

Cons:

My husband said the beer wasn't well kept . He had to return a pint of Jaipur as it had turned vinegary and the others were not to good either.

Beautiful Hathersage
Pros:

Excellent location and good breakfast

Cons:

For the price we paid the room, it had no air con and it was sooooooooooooo hot. They provided a below par fan and due to this had to open the bedroom windows which was very loud with passing cars due to being on the main road, so we had a terrible sleep. Again for the price, having to pay for coffee at breakfast was liberty.

Heatwave casualty
Pros:

The location, the staff (Lewis)

Cons:

I am 80 and my wife 78. We arrived at 22.30 (after a wedding) even appropriate)during very hot weather. The welcome was good but when we went to the room it was very ‘stuffy’ and stifling hot (31 deg C). No air con, small fan and windows only partially opening. It was not possible to remain in the room safely in my opinion. We were shown an alternative room but this was if anything worse from a heat perspective which Lewis, the senior onsite staff member, agreed. After further discussion with no viable solution forthcoming we decided to abort any check-in and drive home (100 miles) since the car at least had air conditioning. Lewis was unable to offer any refund ( which we think would have been appropriate) but agreed to discuss with management if we could move the reservation to a later date as an alternative and let us know. We have yet to get a response.

Cons:

Boom of electronic bass & drum in sound system under my room going on until 11pm, preventing me from getting to sleep. Something really should be done about this dismal piped 'music'.

Convenient location. Delicious breakfast.
Pros:

Breakfast

Cons:

Working out how to charge the electric car. Getting (yet another) app downloaded took time.
