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.

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.
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.
The hotel/pub is run down and the rooms extremely poor. The bathroom was dirty with walls with stream marks. The only mirror was so high i could only see the top of head. The bed was very soft and the glass door to the outside had no curtain. Most lights didn’t work. The bathroom had poorly cut planks of wood as a wall.
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 George is a lovely, old-fashioned kind of hotel in a small village. Check in was a little confused as we missed the sign that said reception but once we found it, it was easy.
The room was spacious with a king sized bed, kettle, desk and chair. I was extremely impressed with the breakfast. Tea, coffee, juice, cereal and toast then a cooked choice from the menu. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
A lovely stay and we would definitely return.

Stayed in a tired room with mattress very old; full of springs. Previous occupants medication not removed. Room was expensive for what we got. (Room 8)

George hotel
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.
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!
We stayed, along with 11 other family members, to celebrate my husband's birthday. Overall was a very enjoyable stay. Good service, mainly good food and great live band. The fire alarm did sound off through a technically at 4 am though!

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.
There was a huge party going on in the pub, a member of the party went to find someone to hep us!!
Our room was a ground floor room with a full glass door, there was no cover for the door, so no privacy and as soon as the sun was up so were we!!! Terrible
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.

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.
