Lovely accommodation/room. Majority of the staff were great. It was loud at night when people were eating and drinking outside in the pub garden. Overall it was a nice stay.

The decoration of the building is really nice and pretty but then the wifi in this property is horrendous. For a business traveler like me, it took my 5 minutes just to send a email through so I will not be coming back if internet is essential for me in the trip.

The room (7) was very small, uneven flooring, view over rooftop - kitchen chimney, lots of pigeons excrement , lots of pigeons staring through our window, broken fence panel leant against a wall, lots of unused equipment dumped. Strong smell of cooking even when window closed. Breakfast was a problem, no hot water in the flask for filling a teapot, the toaster was taking an age to pop up, one of the other guests said that if you were needing a run, have it now as the toaster still won’t be ready when you get back. When our full English arrived the poached eggs were not runny, rather solid and unappetising, the sausage was hard and overcooked or re cooked, the baked Ben’s had clearly been under a heat lamp with an overcooked look. The bacon was extremely SALTY, cold and dry, and the cooked potato slices were very hot and unnecessarily spiced. Neither my husband or I could eat this, so left it. When asked by the waitress I told her of our problems and was told the cost would be taken off our account, but obviously we were hungry and had to go elsewhere to eat. When we returned in the late afternoon the car park was full of customers for the bar, so we then had to find alternative parking, even though we booked the hotel as they had parking, it was not available for their guests. As we were leaving the next day this meant having to walk to the car park to retrieve the car before we could load up and leave. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. full English arrived,

This was our second stay at the George. It's a lovely pub with rooms, with a great location. The manager and staff are welcoming. The rooms are really clean, smart, modern but in keeping with the building. Great bathrooms and amenities including Nespresso machine. The food in the restaurant is excellent. We only had a few areas for improvement. Firstly, our Saturday evening 7.30 restaurant booking started well, but at 8pm a singer/guitarist started playing in the bar. It was very loud (and he wasn't very good either) and it stopped all conversation on our table. I made a quiet complaint to ask if there was any way he could be turned down. He was on for 2 hours. There were hardly any people in the bar listening so all it did was provide a negative experience to diners. Unfortunately the service also deteriorated after the starters with our mains not arriving until 8.45. the music after a short break, resumed, and we decided to skip dessert. This didn't happen the last time we were there but if this happens on a Saturday night going forward it will influence our decision to eat in the restaurant. The other issue was that our bed this time was far too soft and uncomfortable. Again, this wasn't the case the last time so maybe it was just that room. Breakfast, however, was superb and service back on point. The George is very nearly a perfect Cotswold bolthole and we hope to stay again.

Okay for a few nights away

This is a lively pub and you need to be aware of that if expecting more of a hotel environment. Unfortunately no lounge area or area to relax except for the bar/pub area. In addition there was no soft seating or easy chair in the room so the only option was to sit on the bed or a standard dining type chair. Bed was very comfortable and there was a nespresso coffee machine in the room. Shower was good with rain shower as well as hand held shower, but unfortunately you had to be quick as the shower tray filled up quite quickly and was slow to drain away. Very close to overflowing in just 3/4 minutes in the shower. Having said all of that the service and staff were excellent, the price reasonable and breakfast was fantastic. Overall we enjoyed our mini break.

Great place but the suite is 50 steps UP!

We really enjoyed our stay overall. The building was well preserved and maintained and the staff very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the restaurant and bar area for breakfast, late afternoon refreshments and an evening dinner. The only negative was how cold it got up in the attic room. I’d stay again but I’d choose a different room.
