We enjoyed our stay very much, the staff very friendly and helpful,food excellent, room spotlessly clean, would definitely return. Only issue for me with mobility issues was climbing into big bathtub with overhead shower and no grab handle! My fault should have enquired prior to booking! Cranbrook proved to be an excellent choice for visiting many places on my 'to do' list.

This was a lovely place. The staff was marvelous and so helpful. The dining room and lounge were very pleasant, and the young man--whose name I neglected to get--was the perfect server.

DISAPPOINTING - Yes the The George Hotel has history, we had room4 which is supposed to be one of the best rooms . Lighting was poor only one ceiling light worked and that was above the bed canopy. The flooring beneath the carpet was so uneven, I doubt the timbers supporting the floor were fit for purpose. Then there was the hazard 0f 2 steps into the ensuite, different size treads and different height risers, an accident waiting to happen.
The one redeeming feature was the staff, without exception they were wuelcoming, efficient and friendly. In particular a young man ( I believe his name was Miles or Milo) he was working pretty much at the run and seemed to be always on duty . He carried our bags up to o0⁰0ur room and down and out to our car when we left. If The George wants to keep him they need to look after him, I imagine there are many superior hotels in the area who would snap up such a hardworking, willing and charming young man. In conclusion the menu was good and varied both for breakfast and dinner, portions generous as well.

Stayed in the Heather room, beautiful old features, very comfortable. Spa bath switch jammed 'on' so had to be controlled by pull cord by door and plug leaked, couldn't relax in it as jets set to full power and on all the time.
Food, bar and service were a great, very warm and friendly. Would recommend the venue.. But not that room.

A very historic hotel dating back well prior to Cromwell. The room was charming and the knight in armor in the reception area and swords over the fireplace with ancient oak mantelpiece in the restaurant was really nice as was the breakfast

Loved staying in the George Cranbrook. Only thing we didn’t like was the shower facilities in our room (12) the shower was difficult to switch on and more difficult to switch off! Very stiff knobs!
