Pros:

Nettes Team, das dort arbeitet. Rustikales Hotel mit viel Geschichte mitten im hübschen Städtchen mit kleinen Geschäften, wo man sich gut die Füße vertreten kann. Frühstück recht überschaubar aber gut. Nespresso auf dem Zimmer ein großes Plus. Preis stimmt jedenfalls.

Cons:

Wegen Parkmöglichkeit gebucht, aber nicht nutzbar wegen Renovierungsarbeiten, schade

We had a lovely stay and I would recommend the George hotel to friends and family
Pros:

Breakfast was included and was very good with great friendly service. Dinner at the hotel was also very good. We tried different things every night and they were all tasty. The room was cosy and a good size. A fan was provided in room as the weather was hot. The bathroom was decent, and clean and the bed was comfy and I slept well each night. There was a great selection of tea and coffee provided int he room with a kettle and a coffee machine. There was also compliantly water and cookies which were a nice touch. The hotel atmosphere was great with such interesting history.

Cons:

The food would take a little long to come every evening we ate there even though the bar and restaurant was not busy. There was mould on the wall in the shower which could have been easily cleaned off and there was greasy marks on the mirror in the room. There were building works taking place which we were not told about before arrival. This made it so we could not park in there car parking area. There was a free car park 2 min away from hotel so this was not too much of a problem however it should have been disclosed. Also the workmen started at 6.30 in the morning and were a little nosy. They also decided to re-varnish the bars at 10.00 in the eve and the terrible smell got trapped on our corridor all night and made the dining room smell in the morning when we came down for breakfast on 2 of the mornings.

Did what it says on the tin.
Pros:

Located close to where we were attending an event. The staff were very friendly and had taken the trouble to remove the duvet on the bed to take account of the hot weather. Breakfast was tasty.

Cons:

It took a little longer to check us in because they had forgotten to do the pre-check-in, but it caused only a very minor delay. The small fan which they gave us for the bedroom was very noisy and not quite up to the job. There were only small tubes of bath and shower gell in the bathroom in stead of proper soap.

Lovely stay in interesting old building, very close to visit gardens (Sissinghurst and Great Dixter
Pros:

Warm and friendly welcome from the team. Perfect location for visiting local gardens (Sissinghurst, Great Dixter).
Room was very comfortable and spacious, with amazing shower.
Fabulous breakfast selection, and free parking.
Very interesting historical building and high street - worth a short walk towards the windmill.

Mede door het extreem warme weer kun je dit verouderde hotel beter mijden.
Pros:

Het ontbijt.

Cons:

Verouderd hotel, slechte ventilatie op de kamer; gehorig; gedateerde badkamer met gebroken wastafel. Hellende vloeren. Door verbouwing waren restaurant en terras afgesloten. Geen enkele vorm van compensatie. Moesten bij aankomst gelijk de kamer betalen.

Disappointing
Pros:

The oldy worldly pub/hotel is in a lovely village and has a good vibe.

Cons:

Disappointing food in the restaurant and was very upset that our room was not serviced on our 1st day. We returned to find an unmade bed and the towels as we left them!

Despite my comments it is a very decent place & recommended for the food alone.
Pros:

Nice place. Excellent food. I regret I wasn’t able to receive the best reception as I was slightly annoyed about the car parking.

Cons:

Car parking could be an issue. Please make sure you check you have paid upon check in else you could be chased down the street after checking out.

All in all it was a great venue and food great
Pros:

Loved the staff and the extra care they gave our dog

Cons:

The room could have been a little cleaner. The bed was amazing to look at but dusty. And mattress could be turned as it sunk a little
