The building and grounds are just full of amazing features . You can feel the history of this old coach house the moment you get out of your car. They have captured the history and added the luxury

We had a lovely warm and friendly welcome from reception staff on our arrival and in fact all staff members were excellent. It was full of character and in a great location. The breakfast was enjoyable and we had a nice dinner in the Garden Room.
It’s unfathomable that there were no tea and coffee making facilities in the room. I have never experienced that in any hotel before, from B&Bs through to 5 star hotels around the world. The other thing I have never encountered for at least 30 years, is a bed with blankets and heavy eiderdown, rather than a duvet. I am sure these are not changed for every guest!!!

Staff were super helpful, welcoming, immaculately turned out, it was an absolute pleasure to see such a busy hotel in January, there was a real buzz. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. The room was spotless and had everyhting you need, bed super comfortable with lovely pillows.
When we arrived I was told that I had to pay, I showed that the money had left my bank account but was told this was a virtual payment (I have worked in hospitality all my life so I know how this works!) which wasn't correct I didn't feel the receptionist was particularly caring or helpful and there were a lot of people at reception so it was a little embarrassing. Payment had been taken but there was no rael apology for keeping me waiting.

I have stayed at The George before and it is consistently excellent.
The household team are welcoming, the facilities are spotless and the business centre is ideal when working away.

6.0 / 10.0
Lots of charm and location was great.
1st room had a bad smell, but they moved us to a better room. Decor is old yet doesn’t quite fit for a place as nice as this.
Difficult place to get a drink, maybe due to it being Christmas but as a guest you would like to think you could get a seat somewhere.

Excellent welcome and attention in green room for evening meal and breakfast.
Food Excellent.
The location, decoration, food, and dining service were excellent. I would certainly go back to eat there.
Long wait at reception.
Very poor Internet
No tea and coffee in the room and packet latte when ordered!
Would have preferred quilt to blankets.
Bar staff could have been more receptive and not just 'serving'.
Ordered a whiskey old-fashioned; it was not made properly, and it was actually the worst I have ever had.
I would certainly go back to eat there, but I would stay elsewhere unless I knew some of the poor issues of basics like: tea & coffee facilities, and WiFi were addressed.

My stay was exceptional, relaxing, comfortable, and I felt incredibly well taken care of throughout
The property is very charming and the team are so attentive. Kay, the manager was everywhere making sure all guests were comfortable and having a good time. The food is delicious and there is an extensive bar menu. The breakfast is very good and lots of choice. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. It would be difficult not to enjoy yourself here. A perfect pre Christmas break to get into the festive spirit.
We took our dog with and as you are limited where you can sit with your pets it was a challenge finding somewhere to sit as the only seating available was in areas we could not sit. I think it would be worth allocating a seat for guests staying with their pets in the lounge for meals.

This was our second visit to Stamford, but our first time staying at The George — and oh my gosh, they absolutely did not disappoint. I loved every moment. The room was far more spacious than I expected, and both the bar and restaurants were outstanding. The Christmas decorations were stunning; I couldn’t help myself and ended up taking photos of everything. Breakfast was delicious, and the service throughout our stay was exceptional. From now on, The George will be the only place I stay.

Old building, fab decor, great staff, open log fires, traditional wood panelling, Oak Room restaurant
The bed wasn’t great - felt old and had a rough blanket on the bed. What’s wrong with duvets?
Harsh white lighting in places - should use warm bulbs

The meal choices and quality were excellent, The staff were friendly and overall the hotel was warm and comfortable
No tea or coffee facilities in the room and although the size of rooms can not be helped, we did feel that it was too small for the price and drinking facilities might have made up for it.

Outstanding service from check-in to check-out. Staying at The George is like stepping back in time to good, old fashioned service. We couldn't fault anything! Food was excellent & our bedroom was spotlessly clean. Wonderful touches such as tea & coffee freshly brewed delivered to your room before breakfast. What a find! We cannot wait to return...

Breakfast was good
Location great
Room allocated on top floor attic with no elevator. Moved to a lower level room, but this only had a weak shower inside a bath. Antique furniture, but very unloved
Bar staff asked our friends, whom we were visiting and live nearby, to leave bar at 11pm, as they were not staying at hotel! Felt as though the guests were an inconvenience to the staff. Standards dropped significantly since last visit 10 years ago.
