The George Townhouse

I stayed at The George Townhouse as I was attending a wedding at nearby Blackwell Grange. The hotel understood about the wedding timings and facilitated a smooth check in process. My room was superb with a good sized bed and beautiful roll top bath. What made my stay was the service of the staff and how they went out of their way to accommodate any needs I had. Service was good for breakfast and check out was easy. Simon and Sharon who were the staff were welcoming and made the stay. I would now like to return again to stay for longer and explore the area. Thank you so much - an excellent experience!

The staff were very helpful and also we were offered a room upgrade. The breakfast was very imaginative.

Lovely accommodation/room. Majority of the staff were great. It was loud at night when people were eating and drinking outside in the pub garden. Overall it was a nice stay.

The decoration of the building is really nice and pretty but then the wifi in this property is horrendous. For a business traveler like me, it took my 5 minutes just to send a email through so I will not be coming back if internet is essential for me in the trip.

The room (7) was very small, uneven flooring, view over rooftop - kitchen chimney, lots of pigeons excrement , lots of pigeons staring through our window, broken fence panel leant against a wall, lots of unused equipment dumped. Strong smell of cooking even when window closed. Breakfast was a problem, no hot water in the flask for filling a teapot, the toaster was taking an age to pop up, one of the other guests said that if you were needing a run, have it now as the toaster still won’t be ready when you get back. When our full English arrived the poached eggs were not runny, rather solid and unappetising, the sausage was hard and overcooked or re cooked, the baked Ben’s had clearly been under a heat lamp with an overcooked look. The bacon was extremely SALTY, cold and dry, and the cooked potato slices were very hot and unnecessarily spiced. Neither my husband or I could eat this, so left it. When asked by the waitress I told her of our problems and was told the cost would be taken off our account, but obviously we were hungry and had to go elsewhere to eat. When we returned in the late afternoon the car park was full of customers for the bar, so we then had to find alternative parking, even though we booked the hotel as they had parking, it was not available for their guests. As we were leaving the next day this meant having to walk to the car park to retrieve the car before we could load up and leave. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. full English arrived,

This was our second stay at the George. It's a lovely pub with rooms, with a great location. The manager and staff are welcoming. The rooms are really clean, smart, modern but in keeping with the building. Great bathrooms and amenities including Nespresso machine. The food in the restaurant is excellent. We only had a few areas for improvement. Firstly, our Saturday evening 7.30 restaurant booking started well, but at 8pm a singer/guitarist started playing in the bar. It was very loud (and he wasn't very good either) and it stopped all conversation on our table. I made a quiet complaint to ask if there was any way he could be turned down. He was on for 2 hours. There were hardly any people in the bar listening so all it did was provide a negative experience to diners. Unfortunately the service also deteriorated after the starters with our mains not arriving until 8.45. the music after a short break, resumed, and we decided to skip dessert. This didn't happen the last time we were there but if this happens on a Saturday night going forward it will influence our decision to eat in the restaurant. The other issue was that our bed this time was far too soft and uncomfortable. Again, this wasn't the case the last time so maybe it was just that room. Breakfast, however, was superb and service back on point. The George is very nearly a perfect Cotswold bolthole and we hope to stay again.

Everything was perfect. Polite and professional staff, excellent food, great live music and the perfect room.

Made to feel very welcome. Lovely large quaint rooms are very comfortable with everything you need. Lovely food cooked exactly as we asked. Lovely place and lovely people. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.

Relaxed, unrushed yet attentive service. Good sized rooms. Very pleasant evening meal.

This is a lively pub and you need to be aware of that if expecting more of a hotel environment. Unfortunately no lounge area or area to relax except for the bar/pub area. In addition there was no soft seating or easy chair in the room so the only option was to sit on the bed or a standard dining type chair. Bed was very comfortable and there was a nespresso coffee machine in the room. Shower was good with rain shower as well as hand held shower, but unfortunately you had to be quick as the shower tray filled up quite quickly and was slow to drain away. Very close to overflowing in just 3/4 minutes in the shower. Having said all of that the service and staff were excellent, the price reasonable and breakfast was fantastic. Overall we enjoyed our mini break.

We really enjoyed our stay overall. The building was well preserved and maintained and the staff very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the restaurant and bar area for breakfast, late afternoon refreshments and an evening dinner. The only negative was how cold it got up in the attic room. I’d stay again but I’d choose a different room.

Great staff , any issues were delt with fast, didn't like window and surrounding plastering if it had rained it probably would have been wet and let in rain (needs fixing).room 9💦

Very nice place to stay lovely surroundings comfortable and clean. Staff amazing and hard working, will return

Rooms were great with comfortable beds. Shower was lovely. Enjoyed breakfast which was freshly cooked to order. Would definitely stay here again

lively pub with good food and comfortable room with decent bed - well located and parking was available

Beautiful hotel, really cosy feel and decorated to a really nice country inn standard. Everything was great except the rooms were so hot! They provide fans but it was still too warm in the rooms to sleep comfortably.

Clean and well appointed room. Pleasant outside courtyard to the rear of the hotel and good access to town amenities.

Central location in nice small town, hotel found to be decent but average for the price bracket. Would not class it as a “boutique hotel”. Sleigh type bed in the Suite had the most uncomfortable unsupportive mattress and pillows I think I have ever slept on, definitely needs changing. Overall we give it 3 stars, average and not one we will use again.

Lovely place to stay while visiting family. Very clean and smart. posh rooms and in. Beer not to my liking though! Im not a lager drinker.

We loved our 2-night stay at The George. The community of Shipston-on-Stour is picture perfect, and The George offered everything we were hoping for in our first visit to the Cotswalds. The restaurant is excellent, with a varied menu that felt both local and first class. The room was very comfortable, with an especially beautiful bathroom that featured a very modern double shower. The added touches like a fresh-baked cookie left in our room and handy access to the main floor pub and gorgeous pub patio made the stay even more special. We had hired a car, and parking was convenient and abundant, both in the hotel's own small parking lot as well as on the street. I would highly recommend including the breakfast option in your reservation - the pre-paid breakfast included both a continental buffet and a hot breakfast off the menu. The hot breakfast options were exceptional and very good value.
