Celebrated a 90th birthday lunch here, the service was helpful, friendly and without drama, nothing, was too much trouble. We had five adults, one in a wheelchair and two cockapoos for lunch and we were accommodated extremely well in an area of the restaurant for dog owners. Every course was tasty and well presented with a good choice on the menu for all. Many thanks.
Very comfortable stay. The room was beautifully appointed and the bed extremely comfortable. Be aware there is some traffic and patron noise. However, complimentary earplugs are available and it’s to be expected in such a central location. Food excellent.
A fabulous pub with fabulous staff! The bedrooms are delightful and little touches make it special - Water and fresh milk in the fridge. Chocolates under a glass dome. A hand written, personalised welcome note. Amazing. Dinner was delicious and the service from Briony was spot-on, personal and very welcoming. The bar is warm, welcoming, perfectly stocked and also has lovely staff. Stay, eat and drink here!
Small birthday party for my wife. Staff were attentive and courteous especially Daniel who looked after us. Food was excellent. The roast beef a very popular choice, Daniel's recommendation for dessert was particularly well received, Pistachio Souffle. Certainly recommend the restaurant and we will return.
Received a warm and relaxed welcome on arrival. Visited mid week, restaurant wasn't overly busy, bar was busier. Service was attentive and quick. Food was fresh, well presented, well cooked and delicious. Crab bits, trout tartare, Atlantic cod and pheasant were out choice of dishes. Good location, large public car park a few minutes walk away. Free to park after 7pm. Would definitely return.
Came here for my one year anniversary and was thoroughly impressed! The staff were all friendly and attentive and the service was top notch. The room was lovely, clean and nicely decorated. The bed was really comfortable! The food in the pub is also very high quality and delicious! (also very reasonably priced) Thank you so much to the team at the George and Dragon inn for making our stay so special.
The best Sunday roast ever!! We are regulars here and come often either in the week or die Sunday roast. Today again we came and the best roast ever!! I had beef and it was just so tender, great quality and delicious (and we all know beef is hard to get right!!) husband had chicken and both were fabulous. MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO ELLE who served us - she was excellent!! Thanks chefs and ELLE! AMAZING LUNCH - back soon (Deb, Kev & Jasper the dog!!
Great stay once again! We have been here three times now and always loved it. Really clean and tidy, a great bar downstairs, you have side access to get in and out without going through the bar itself. Team are always really friendly and helpful.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
