Royal George Hotel by Greene King Inns

Location: Frequently praised for being convenient, with proximity to attractions like snowdrop gardens.

There is a large well maintained carpark. With three Disabled spaces which are not very well marked. Other than that I had no issues. Has a disabled person it was nice to see that the entrance to the hotel is via a ramp,with a smooth surface. The Reception. The ladies on duty were very friendly and helpful. Nice to be greeted with a smile. Made me feel welcome. A lovely experience. The rooms were very well maintained including the bathroom. We found our room very relaxing and comfortable. There’s a flat screen TV and tea and coffee making facilities. My room was as requested on the ground floor. There were no stairs for me to negotiate although further along the corridor there is three steps. The restaurant is large with access via a ramp. The waitresses are very friendly and helpful. They have a good knowledge of the menu. The menu is typical Green King hotel menu. Good portions and well presented. All the food we order was hot. There is a comprehensive selection of Beers and Spirits and Wine. The adjoining bar has a large selection of beers and spirits. . The restaurant supplies a take away packed lunch currently costing £10 which we believe is good value. I would like to praise all the staff and management for making our stay really enjoyable. We will certainly be back and recommend the Royal George

It was ok, yes its a little bit tired in places but its a perfectly serviceable pub-hotel. It adequately met our needs as a place to eat and sleep whilst on the way to somewhere else. The reasons for only giving it an average rating are mainly based on two things: 1. None of the staff seemed particularly happy. I initially put this down to a bad night on Friday as they seemed a little under-staffed at the bar, but it was the same in the morning at breakfast. Nobody was rude or anything, just got the impression that they didn’t really want to be there. 2. Late start for breakfast. Might have been later than usual as it was a weekend, but 8am when you’re an early-riser and have somewhere to be is a bit frustrating. Especially when you can’t even get a coffee until breakfast is served. (There is instant coffee in the room to be fair) Ending with positives, the breakfast was worth the wait and I would consider staying here again if the need arises.
