Ideal stop off going or coming from the highlands

We stayed for one night on our way home from visiting the highlands with our dog , the room was quiet small to stay in , the breakfast was very tasty where you helped yourself to continental style plus you can have a cooked breakfast if required which was included in the stay, staff was friendly and helpful , the location is perfect to have a stroll round Penrith , plenty of places to eat and drink, as this is just off the motorway Penrith is busy with traffic, with the hotel on the road, we thought when we slept you would hear this but you don’t.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This was a very bad experience. When I am off work and wanting to enjoy a bank holiday weekend I do not want to be judged. If I want to wear my tracksuit bottoms and trainers, it is because I am comfortable. Setting aside the cleanliness for now I have to say the experience was very upsetting. When you walk into the bar and get told you have a tag on your back then a comment of P**S Heads when you are leaving. Taking my Dog for a walk, walking through reception saying' Can I give your Dog a biscuit' then referenceing to me, do you want one too? Disgusting and nasty. Going for Breakfast, to be told, you going for hair of the Dog? I know what she wants, a greasy breakfast. It was continuous every time we saw him. I cannot see a bad comment about him which means he singled me out. Is it because I am a tracksuit wearing Lesbian? The George should learn to know their audience! I am an off duty H&S/Food specialist with HR in my DNA. I will reiterate that he singled me out, basically called me a Dog ans us P** heads with tags on our backs! We were also judged from the offset, we will dress how the hell we like, we are paying customers! Let's move onto cleanliness, not good really. Dust and coffee stains on the doors and wall, dirty towels! Kettle with Water left in! A maintenance man sat on a chair constantly outside my room where I didn't feel comfortable talking. A drill left outside which was not being used! A hideout, probably! All in all, do not judge a book by it's cover

Welcoming, with a major omission

We took a punt with this hotel due to its central location and convenient transport links. We were in town for a wedding, and spent 4 nights. On arrival our initial room on the 3rd floor [no elevators - be warned] was far too pokey for my partner and I. We had two wide suitcases. The hotel reception manager swiftly arranged a suitable alternative in the annexe across the car park. It was a superb replacement, spacious, more modern with comfy beds to boot. Breakfast was delicious. Cold buffet and many hot cooked options. The one major let down. We had no housekeeping whatsoever. No fresh towels, beddings, toilet rolls etc across 4 nights. Very unusual. We got on with it without complaining. It was disappointing considering apart from this aberration, we really enjoyed our stay.

Not a great hotel; find somewhere else.

Disappointing stay at the George after some high expectations. Our room was tiny and constantly boiling hot and it had a kitchen extractor fan a metre or so away from the window that made a constant noise and made the room smell of fried food. When I complained to reception the guy wasn’t particularly bothered and didn’t offer to move me. Additionally, during breakfast on both mornings of the stay we waited more than 25 minutes to have our breakfast order taken and that was only resolved once I tracked down a member of staff to complain. Overall, not impressed and I won’t be returning. Refuse to stay in rooms 10 to 13 unless you like your room to smell of fried food from the extractor fans.

Nice old hotel.

Lovely old hotel. Nice and clean. If you're any of the upper floors, there's no lift so be prepared to get your steps in. The food in the restaurant was great. The waiter was very attentive and helpful.

Charming value for money

A characterful Georgian Inn that celebrates Penrith which itself is well worth a visit. Very good value for money . Be aware you have to request room cleaning. Beds comfortable but pillows not! Food very tasty. An excellent awareness of allergies. Overall very good and would stay there again.

A nice traditional hotel in a very lovely town that has lots of nice shops, cafes, pubs and history. Hotel is in need of some redecoration of rooms, maintenance of building exterior in courtyard but not enough to spoil to the stay. Well worth a visit.

Comfortable room which was very clean. Nice bathroom with excellent shower. Breakfast was good. The only thing letting the hotel down were the staff, lots of them but more interested in chatting to each other than tending to guests. That said, John, was very professional at breakfast.

Check in person was very good but giving less than great rating as there is no elevator/lift. Being on 3rd/ 4th floor with long flights of stairs is not welcoming. They did carry my bags up and was happy about bring bags down this morning. However when I asked in the morning it was greeted with very poor reception.

Great place, superb location!

We have stayed here before. The staff are great, food is good and there is plenty of space. The location is perfect in this lovely town. Dog friendly and human friendly too. It is an old hotel but that adds character not detracts from it. Highly recommend.
