The George Inn

I didn't get to visit this hotel. I brought a one night staycation, which I can not use for this hotel, unless it is between September and March. They do have the vacancy I needed, but were unwilling to accommodate us. I am posting this review to warn other people who are hoping to book this hotel with the one night staycation. The hotel is inflexible, even though you have paid more for the gift than the room is worth.

I was playing golf at Saunton golf club and stayed here for 2 nights - the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Lovely rooms , cleaned after the first night , lovely bathroom and comfortable bed Breakfast was included and was great Would fully recommend staying here 5 stars !

Lovely room very comfortable with good decor. staff were very accommodating and helpful. Breakfast brilliant plenty of it served between 8 and 10 which was ideal . Nice central place for shops and pubs. Would stay there again.

Stopped here last night heating very poor on a cold night asked if it could be improved said they would try no success asked if they had a fan heater said no toilet dripping all night bathroom floor tiles all cracked very very poor

The room was very scruffy, there was a hole in the ceiling that had been patched but not plastered so you could see the plasterboard and screws, the window shutters had slats missing so the light still filtered through, the room was cold and the bedding felt damp. The kettle lid didn't pop up so you had to negotiate putting the water in the spout. The bathroom was of a very good standard with a lovely rainfall shower and super hot water, it's a shame the room let it down.

The room was comfortable with a modern bathroom. The drainage from the shower wasn’t great so we ended up with a wet floor, but no great issue. The inn is on a main road so was not the quietest of locations but was close to all amenities. The highlight of the George Inn was definitely the food and the friendly staff. We had fabulous pizzas and TexMex food plus delicious breakfasts.

We only popped in for a drink and a game of pool. I noticed that everything was dirty , the chairs , floor and tables. The tables were sticky and the curved seat in the window was very dirty. I tried my hardest to keep my 3 year old from touching anything.

.... to a heavy metal band when we arrived on a Friday evening and didn't stop until somewhere around midnight! An inauspicious start to our weekend stay !! Fortunately the rest of the weekend was a bit tamer. Genuine old style pub ambiance complete with 'sticky' carpets. Some renovations had been done and the first glance appearance of the rooms was pleasant. Some aspects, particularly the bathrooms were dated. Breakfast was not a standout moment ranging from 'quite ordinary' to 'avoid the smashed avo' which appeared to have been defrosted? Location was great in the centre of town and the staff pleasant & helpful.

We popped in for breakfast in a weekday . A friendly welcome and we were served quickly. The good was hot and presented nicely, we had full English breakfast, the meal was of good quality and excellent value for money , ingredients sourced locally and delicious. Can’t fault it , definitely be back .
