Had a lovely stay! Staff were exceptional. Breakfast was tasty and good quality! Hotel could do with a little TLC but did not hinder my stay in any way! Love the quirkiness of this old hotel. Would definitely stay again!

We had such an amazing time at the George hotel for a wedding. The staff were so helpful and friendly. They are extremely hard working. The bedroom was very large and well equipped even though we only went for a classic l and the hotel has many comfortable lounge areas as well as the amazing outside next to the sea. We just felt really relaxed the whole time. We had dinner in the hotel and this was a great experience too. Beautiful monkfish.

Popped in here for afternoon refreshments after walking around Yarmouth. A really lovely old historical place to visit and a very modern and spacious garden overlooking the solant and pier. Price for tea and coffee was reasonable and the setting made it a great visit.

Two stars for the location alone. Appears to be a popular place for having too many drinks - although not on the overpriced French wine. Food menu uninspiring and disappointing in reality. Trying to be fancy with a soup that gets poured in to bowl in front of you, but my husband's bowl arrived without the jug of soup and then the jug got removed despite not quite being empty (and he had to ask for a spoon, got a serving spoon not a soup spoon). Won't be sucked in by the location again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the George. The room was very comfortable, warm, and cozy. We enjoyed all our meals in the restaurant. Everyone from Reception right through to the restaurant was super friendly and caring making the stay all the more pleasant. We would most definitely stay there again.

We loved our stay at The George over Christmas, it was so good that we are thinking of booking for next Christmas! Our only comment would be that although the food was absolutely amazing we would personally have preferred more of the main course dishes to have been accompanied by fresh vegetables and to have one of the desserts to have been based on fresh fruit. This is a minor matter compared to everything else that could not have been bettered.
