Beutiful location
Pros:

The history of the building and the Oak room restaurant's exceptional old fashioned service.

Cons:

Bath and shower could do with updating. Heavy bedspread uncomforatble and felt dirty. Upholstery on room chairs could be cleaner.

A lovely hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We will be back.
Pros:

The whole Hotel ambiance starts at the door and the greeting by the staff when you book in. This is not a modern glass hotel, it has character which opens in nooks and crannies. The Breakfasts are prepared as you order with no buffet. The food is steaming hot and the eggs are that deep yellow / orange and not insipid from a buffet.
The meals are first class and varied, all very enjoyable.
The staff are very approachable.

Cons:

The tea served at breakfast was too strong. We did mention to the staff and a new pot of tea arrived.

1980’s styling bedrooms
Pros:

Tired bedrooms - decor left in the 1980’s.
No safe or fridge or coffee making facilities.
We were kept up all night one night as person next door had tv on all night.

Staff delightful & downstairs is wonderful, but a bit of a time capsule.

Our unique stay at the George Hotel
Pros:

It was as if we're transported to another era, the hotel building, the ambience. The location is convenient opposite the park and the city centre. The room was large and comfortable, we were given an upgrade. The staff friendly and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Had a great dinner at the restaurant.

Cons:

The very formal dress code required for the dinner.

It is a must stay.. top of the tree for Stamford closely followed by the William Cecil.
Pros:

This is the iconic country hotel in the heart of beautiful Stamford. The Oak Room restaurant is old world charm at its best. Beef lovers heaven.

Cons:

Staff were not as friendly and a little inflexible, which was disappointing and change from the past.

Pros:

Location and building beautiful and the staff / service excellent.

Cons:

There is a lot of noise from other occupied rooms which because of it being an old building means it can disturb sleep.
