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.

The stay was good however, there seemed to be a lack of staff during meals in the restaurant, especially when children where eating with us, taking to long.

Fantastic hotel right in the middle of Penrith, which is a lovely town. Hotel has parking, which is really useful as it was hard to come by in the town itself when I was there. Special thank you to Petra at reception and the housekeeping team. I had accidentally left a piece of jewellery in my room at checkout. The piece of jewellery in question is very valuable, especially for sentimental reasons. The housekeeping colleague had taken it down to reception for safe keeping, but Petra had gone the extra mile to personally call me to let me know and she had even gone to the post office to post it back to my home address. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your care and grace. This shows the class of the hotel and its staff, and that you are in incredibly safe and caring hands when you are there. Thank you Petra and thank you George Hotel for a lovely stay.

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.

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.

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.

Charming

This historic hotel has charm! The bed was comfortable, the room was quiet. It's in a great location. No air conditioning, but a fan was provided and the windows opened, so it was fine. The food in the restaurant was mediocre.
