Not visiting again

The hotel/pub is run down and the rooms extremely poor. The bathroom was dirty with walls with stream marks. The only mirror was so high i could only see the top of head. The bed was very soft and the glass door to the outside had no curtain. Most lights didn’t work. The bathroom had poorly cut planks of wood as a wall.

The George Hotel is a beautiful old building, full of character and charm. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there over 3 nights and the location of The George Hotel in Castle Cary was perfect for exploring the surrounding area (the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Wells & Glastonbury for us). The staff at the hotel were all friendly and helpful & the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The food was excellent - we enjoyed breakfast, lunch & also dinner in the restaurant one evening and were very impressed each time. Fabulous service and well cooked, tasty food. The George Hotel was a great choice for us and everything we hoped it would be.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel could do with some improvements and the wifi needs to be much better. The food average and the breakfast disappointing.

Hotel with character and very friendly

Very nice hotel - extremely attentive staff. Lots of character. Very comfortable bed. Big bathroom with efficient shower. Because it's an old building, it is a bit shabby in places, but this is in character and doesn't affect one's enjoyment. Food was good - great central location with parking.

Awesome service, friendly locals, great place

Amazing place. The locals are above and beyond friendly and welcoming. Pip, Chloe, Harley and the team are the most helpful, friendly and diligent that could possibly be. I would highly recommend. Already booked in for next year!

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights where the staff were great. The room was very spacious, but we found the mattresses that we joined together not good for our backs. Also, without footwear, I found it difficult to pull the blind and found wooden splints in the rug. When using the over bath shower, there was only about a third of a curtain, so the water escaped between the bath and basin.on the way to room 12, at nighttime, there were now bulbs in the first and last light fitment. Also, there was no hairdryer and, although many people would not watch TV, possibly the mostly watched channels BBC and ITV 1 were unavailable. The price of the accommodation was good value for this area, but £20 for beer battered fish, chips and £12 for the 3 cheese board was rather high, compared to in southern Dorset. Although there are great staff, because of the accommodation and food prices, we will not be returning.

TERRIBLE STAY

The Hotel forgot to advise us they would have a 2 day beer festival with live music right next to the room for 2 of the days of our stay. We had live music until 11:30pm for both Saturday and Sunday and were not able to sleep properly. They mentioned it on check in as if we could have done anything about it and didn't offer any alternatives. On the Sunday we could hardly even access the room with tables and people just outside the entrance door. The entrance to the room was not properly clean and the general cleanliness was very poor. They didn't even bother to clean the room on the Sunday. They did not give us a discount and only offered to discount less than half of a dinner we had there. Would not return.
