Pros:

The room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was lovely and plenty on the plate.

Cons:

Maybe in the Tavern the menu for food to be on tables, we didn't see any the twice we went in for a drink. We may have stayed for a meal in the evening. But on other hand perhaps we should of asked at bar - but should not have to.

Our safe was broken and I do like to put things in your be safe.

Did the job
Pros:

Good breakfast, efficient and pleasant staff, good hot water and radiator.

Cons:

The George is just not worth its normal rate of £160 per night, B&B. Our room was not large and the decor seemed tired.

Sadly disappointing on this occasion
Pros:

Been here before, fantastic location, on this occasion Shannon on reception and Sue in the bar saved this visit being totally disappointing. Apart from the loo, our bedroom was gorgeous!

Cons:

Ordered food at the bar. The burger with lettuce, cheese, tomato and mayo was drowned both sides in burger sauce. Tasted ok so didn't complain but poussin had raw thighs, was inedible. Breakfast is rated highly but ours was awful! Poached eggs were solid, bacon was like leather, mushroom burned. Chef never asked how it was, just disappeared halfway through. He was on reception when we checked out, I raised it with him, he said it was my responsibility to tell him if we wanted soft poached eggs and our bacon not 'crispy'!! Loo looked a bit gritty too.
