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.

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.

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.

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.

Very tired and very dirty - green algae in the bathroom, excessive limescale in the bathroom sink, hairs on the floor and dirty bath, smelled old and damp, door had obviously got damp at some point as was warped and difficult to close. Luckily the bed was clean and fresh. The pub itself was fine and the food was acceptable, breakfast was good.

The George Hotel

The George is a lovely, old-fashioned kind of hotel in a small village. Check in was a little confused as we missed the sign that said reception but once we found it, it was easy. The room was spacious with a king sized bed, kettle, desk and chair. I was extremely impressed with the breakfast. Tea, coffee, juice, cereal and toast then a cooked choice from the menu. Staff were super friendly and helpful. A lovely stay and we would definitely return.
