Nice hotel was booked without thinking to ask if they had lift as one of us is currently on crutches but unfortunately they don't have a lift so they re arranged some booking and give us a family room for 4 on the 1st floor we were on the 4th to begin with but was all sorted within 5 minutes because of the lovely lass on the check in desk. Breakfast was brilliant buffet style help your self my only complaint about the whole trip was the fact it said parking on street and when we arrived there wasn't any parking anywhere near as we thought it would be easy for the one on crutches but it was a little distance away, no bother if you are able to walk but not good if you have difficulty walking or are in a wheel chair but over all nice experience with nice welcoming staff. Reasonable price drinks too and a good size bar would definitely stay again

I absolutely love the fact that you can take your fish and chips into this pub and receive a fantastic welcome. I definitely recommend this pub for their hospitality

Stayed on the 25th May 2022. I've got to say what a fantastic hotel to stay at everything very clean the facilities and staff were second to none and the buffet breakfast catered for everyone. Definitely recommend this to friends and family and certainly be back in the very near future

Lovely room very clean, accept the bathroom blinds but wasn't too fuse as we was only there for 1 night. Service was 5 stars breakfast was good, location was ideal 30min walk too the abby up the 199 steps. Pubs and clubs very near so are bus and train station very close too.

Hadn't been in the George for a long time prices for drinks low staff welcoming. Music too loud and neon lighting very bright not to our taste now will be finding another watering place next time sad

Staff members Leanne, Sophie and Vicky were great, assisted my wife Marilyn and myself with any questions we asked. Great breakfast and the room we had was clean and tidy. The only downside we had was the music. It was quite loud and in particular the karaoke that was on in the evening. I gestured to the guy that was singing and who's karaoke it was, that it was very loud and all he did was shrugged his shoulders as if to say "Too bad". Oher than that, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone thinking of making a booking.

This venue is open later than other pubs and often has live music, it is a welcome alternative to going to a nightclub. Used to have a lovely period decor inside, is now like being inside Elsas ice palace. (The current picture used by google for this venue is of the church opposite the back of the pub)

I can't comment on the accommodation but the pub was packed, lively and noisey with a live band playing rock music. Excellent atmosphere. Loads of people dressed to kill. Toilets are clean. Prices are reasonable. Queue at the bar but quick service. Right opposite the train station.

Our stay was ok and clean rooms. Excellent location. The one downfall was the extremely loud music until 2:00am on Saturday night. I think they need to consider turning it down at 12:00 as a consideration to guests. We were on the 3rd floor and could hear it. Breakfast was good.

Great place to visit. Only place showing football, Everywhere else on a Tuesday night decided to have an open mic night or quiz night. Even let my son stay until full time so he could watch the whole match.

Horrible place. Apparebtly ordered two drinks with two different bar man by mistake. Bar manager got aggressive instantly rather than trying to resolve the situation Shame as he is losing money for the Bar and the owner. No attempt whatsoever to resolve. We are 32 years old. Not some troublesome kids.

Good surroundings but beer, particularly 'Ghouly' was atrocious. Very vinegary and when I told the staff about it, just trying to be helpful, not even to seek a replacement, they didn't seem particularly interested. Pub was relatively busy so the lack of attention might have had something to do with that. Who knows.

As a pub it looks ok, buy don't go in for something to eat or you will be bitterly disappointed. You pay for an adult carvery and get a small plate that looks like it's been cleaned with a floor cloth. Definitely won't be eating there again.
