Poor
Pros:

Breakfast was ok.

Cons:

This attic room had very poor ventilation and it was a very hot night - The George should at least have provided a powerful fan. I chose the Dinner, Bed & Breakfast option - wish I hadn't - the menu choices for dinner were very limited and the food uninspiring to say the least.

We love Wallingford and The George, Farhan managers his crew beautifully.
Pros:

The staff were all smiling, polite and friendly. The breakfast had a variety of options and the location was brilliant, central to everything.

Cons:

The safe in our room was damaged and we were only aware when I was about to use it. The inconvenience of having to lock valuables in the our suitcase was irritating but bearable as our stay was only one night. My rating would have been high but for this.

Comfortable.
Pros:

The location was excellent with a brilliant bus service to other places, we did not eat breakfast as it was a little over priced.

Cons:

The room could have done with more storage space for clothes, 2 small bedside drawers was ok for a short stay but any longer they would have been inadequate.

Breakfast and location was fab! The cost of hotel couldn’t have been cheaper for the type of room and considering could
Pros:

The area was lovely perfect for where we needed to get to. The breakfast was very nice

Cons:

The bathroom and bed was clean but there was a fan supplied that had clear years worth of dust in it, as well as dusty sides. The carpet also looked like it needed a good hoover.
