The hotel is in a lovely position at the side of a river and is handy for visiting Hadrian's Wall and the nearby towns of Hexham and Corbridge. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and not to be missed, especially the evening meals.

Very friendly staff. Lovely location and setting. Some areas of the hotel seemed to be unused/undergoing renovation ( garden and ? Indoor pool area.)Not that this mattered to us but it gives an air of neglect. Our room was perfectly clean and very comfortable. Some public areas need a bit of updating. Breakfast was lovely. Our bar meal was adequate. Staff were very helpful

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The check in was nice and easy and the receptionist was very friendly and informative, went to the room from the outside through a door at the side which was in much need of an update, as was the rest of the hotel, the room was basic but very clean had a view of the disused pool and overgrown garden, the view of the river however from the beer garden was very beautiful. The food was nice and staff friendly but It took forever to come and it seemed very disorganised, one hour forty five minutes for one course, had to ask for the dessert menu, I understand it had been a busy day but thought it was too long. We had a nice stay but maybe stay somewhere else in future.

Clean room, good shower. Heated rack in bathroom is nice for drying hiking clothes. My room faced the river and had a wonderful view. The mattresses needed to be replaced. There was a clear divot in the middle of each. There are no elevators and no bellmen but the man at reception very nicely brought my bag up for me. Dinner in the restaurant was really good and the cafe across the street was also quite good for lunch. Didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel so don’t know if it was worth the price. Hotel is right on Hadrians Wall trail and only a short distance from Chester’s Roman fort so if you’re hiking it’s a great location.

The bedrooms were clean and pretty standard but little things needed attention like the sash window would open but not stay open, nowhere to hang a towel and the sliding door was difficult to operate and lock. The basin was tiny. The public rooms were not very clean and a duster could have been useful as could a mop on step edges. I don’t think the bar had been wiped overnight. Pretty basic but ok for a couple of nights. Staff mostly friendly and some food ok, other things pretty poor with items missing from the description on the menu.

The George hotel is historically stunning!! The entire hotel holds so much beautiful character, from the sitting rooms to the restaurant. The restaurant is also gorgeous, overlooking the river and their lovely gardens, not to mention that the food was very much fine dining for a low price.

The only issue we had was that there is no shaver socket in our bathroom. We're not sure if this is a modern trend, but the inability to recharge electric toothbrushes and electric razors is awkward.
