I'm afraid our stay was far from enjoyable.
We chose the George from lots of options because we wanted to stay in a pub where there would be dinner, a bar and the football without driving.
Soon after our arrival we were told the chef had called in sick so we would have to go elsewhere for dinner. That can't be helped but where was the Landlord to stand in and offer what was possible?
When we got back, I settled in to watch the football only for the person running the bar who said she was only there as a favour to call last orders at 9pm. Everything was being turned off by 9.35 and I missed the last few minutes of the football which had turned into an exciting game. I was told I could take my unfinished pint to my room but the mood was lost and I abandoned it. The football was not available on the TV in my room as she claimed. By the way, people who came in to watch the football were also told she was closing and left.
In the room, there were no cups for the kettle, the radiators were off (and electric heater supplied), the light above the mirror didn't work and the shower was the most useless I have ever experienced. In general the room was tired and needed refurbishing. I mean electric cables tacked to the skirting, exposed and loose central heating pipes, windows that need new hinges failing to block the noise of the road.
Why a bath? Why not a proper electric shower? The world outside the George is no longer the 1970s.
So, no, I'm afraid we won't be back.
