I stayed at The George Townhouse as I was attending a wedding at nearby Blackwell Grange. The hotel understood about the wedding timings and facilitated a smooth check in process. My room was superb with a good sized bed and beautiful roll top bath. What made my stay was the service of the staff and how they went out of their way to accommodate any needs I had. Service was good for breakfast and check out was easy. Simon and Sharon who were the staff were welcoming and made the stay. I would now like to return again to stay for longer and explore the area. Thank you so much - an excellent experience!

Our stay at the George Townhouse was good except for an uncomfortably hot room. The heated towel bar in the bathroom could not be turned off and radiated heat into the room. We had the windows opened and the fan running but couldn't get the temperature down. Our room was spacious and well appointed. Housekeeping staff were friendly and very helpful. Fresh cookies and rolls were a treat with coffee from the machine provided in our room. The manager was helpful despite being short staffed. She went out of her way to find two reading headlights we neglected to pack before leaving. Despite the towel bar issue, it was a good stay and a welcome departure from chain hotels.

Check in was as stated 3pm on the dot but not before. Not a problem. Staff were brilliant and extremely helpful and friendly. Food was lovely. The building has loads of history too by the looks of it. It's a shame there is nothing displayed or available to tell it's story over the years. That would make it so much more interesting.

We were surprised when we were notified that we had the “suite” as we checked in. What a delightful room! Beamed ceilings, comfortable bed & pillows, claw-foot soaker tub and a stand-alone shower….I could go on. A few niggling details prevented an otherwise perfect score: handles on shower and tub were/broken/poor quality; TV couldn’t be heard from bed; restaurant staff had strange attitude*. (*we had made an early reservation and the restaurant was dead empty. We requested to be seated in one of the three booth tables. Our waitress told us they were reserved. When another couple, without a reservation, arrived 30 minutes later, they were seated there upon request. Also, we never saw the detailed bill before she charged the dinner to our room. Hmm….). Otherwise, delightful stay!

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.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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,

Attractive old coaching house in pleasant, historic village square. Clean and tastefully modernised interior and lovely outdoor terrace for sunny days. Free car park, very friendly and courteous staff, good food and beer and clean, well-equipped room, comfy bed and superb shower. Would happily stay again. Some noise from plumbing system, but it is an old building - was not a great issue for us.
