Evening meal choice was ok with fish chips and peas. But expected more choice for a evening at a hotel. Breakfast was extremely disappointing was shown to my table and just left. Realised it myself was self service from adjoining room. Waiter didn't seem interested! Machine drinks - why can't they be made on request fresh? Didnt bother with any drink! Self service for hot items, didnt look appetising. Sausage was bland, tasteless and tasted mushy inside. Tomato was hard both in middle and outside- how can a cook not get these cooked right? Did tell this to reception when checking out but said we will pass comments on but didnt honestly seem interested! Had previously stayed at this hotel under previous owners and it was so much better. Really gone downhill.

Needs updating

Maybe I got a bad bedroom but I was not impressed with this hotel. Carpet was dirty, paint work chipped, nail in wall but picture missing, bed squeaked. Had to go up 1 flight of stairs to bedroom along a corridor then down another flight of stairs, with luggage is not ideal (no lift). Not a hotel I would return to - I did not sleep well because my room did not feel clean, I did mention this to reception but was advised some rooms had been updated and had new carpet and some hadn't.

We married here 30 years ago so nice to return for the nostalgia. Lovely communal areas with log burners and very cosy. the setting by the river is perfect and the gardens lovely. Location is amazing for walking/biking. Please just spend a bit of money on the rooms. They are tired with cheap furniture and it would only take a bit of TLC in the rooms for this to be a perfect hotel. We would definitely return but a fefurb is needed.

Wonderful two night stay. Like others I noted some of the mixed reviews but our stay was excellent. This is a 3* hotel and easily hits the mark, yes a few areas with wear ‘n tear but room and bathroom was clean, restaurant was really nice serving good food and a wide choice. Staff were all excellent; we’d definitely stay again if in the area!!

A nice place to stay

Took a little bit of a gamble after reading some of the reviews but very glad we did. Yes, the hotel could do with a bit of tlc in places but, on the whole, it’s a very pleasant place to stay, excellent staff and very good food. Thoroughly recommended

Thank you Karen :)

This is the second time staying at the George in the last two months, both times have been pleasant experiences. This time I want to shout out to Karen on reception, I needed a taxi to get to my final destination on checking out. I was aware from my taxi journey from Hexham that most firms would be fully boked with school runs and it was unlikely I'd get a cab at the time I needed. Karen also said the same at check in, however, she said, "leave it with me, I'll ring around". Within 10 minutes she came to me and informed me she'd got me a taxi. Some staff would have simply said, sorry you won't get one and not bothered but through Karen's thoughtfulness she went above and beyond to assist, thanks again Karen, you helped me massively with my onward journey. Finally to the catering staff, again, nothing was too much, all done with a smile and willingness to engage in conversation.
