The George Hotel

Lovely

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.

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.

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.

Excellent food, friendly and efficient staff - rooms average cleanliness (wooden floors, dusty and bathroom average) even though bed linen was spotless.

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.

Overnight stay. Lively pub.

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!

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.

There was no heating in the Room, heating wasn't working, The restaurant was ok.but other than that the hotel was clean and tidy. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Great breakfast and friendly staff

Very helpful staff, room was very clean and well equipped, also breakfast was very nice hot with a good selection, overall very pleased with the hotel, i would stay at the George hotel again without hesitation.

We knew the property but had never stayed. Used as a base for staying in local area. Rooms were subject to noise from outside smoking area so not ideal if you wish to sleep before closing time.

Really enjoyed our stay. Such lovely friendly staff. Great you could park for free and so central to the town. Thank you.

Fantastic food, room unclean but rectified.

Great place to stay in historic castle Cary…friendly staff, comfy rooms and great classic breakfast to see off a hangover! Rooms are a little shabby but were clean and functional…certainly value for money at £100 per couple included breakfast and parking.

The kitchen extractor pipe was very close to our bedroom window - very noisy!

The room itself was clean, and they had shampoo/showergel/towels and the shower had fairly good pressure. However if we were staying longer than one night clothes storage would have been a problem as there was no wardrobe or drawers! Additionally the sing bed was incredibly uncomfortable S there were 2 slats missing from the middle of the bed.

Really very good. We weren’t honestly expecting much for £95 including breakfast but it was very good. The only thing that let it down was the fan provided in the room. It was very hot when we went and a better fan would have been appreciated. The breakfast was lovely and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful.

A pleasant traditional country inn. Friendly staff and good food
