What guests think

At The George Hotel & Brasserie, Cranbrook, travellers highlight friendly, helpful staff, characterful historic charm, and a central Cranbrook location, while room experiences vary due to the building’s age and quirks.

Many guests find rooms clean and beds comfortable. Recurring gripes include dated decor, bathroom or shower problems, uneven or creaky floors, occasional noise, and rooms that can feel cold. The on-site pub and restaurant are lively, breakfast and other meals are widely praised, and parking is available but limited with alternatives nearby. Expect a traditional stay with good hospitality and some old-building compromises.

Great pet friendly hotel located in central town, free parking in the back. Well equipped room, we appreciated the fan as it was quite warm. Very friendly staff, good food and plenty of breakfast options. Perfect for an overnight stay and close to exploring Sissinghurst.

Great staff always makes your stay more enjoyable and we certainly enjoyed our stay! They made a big fuss of our dog (Zeus) and made us cocktails that weren't on the menu. Great breakfast and good menu. A very lively bar as it seems to be the hub of the village, the only downside was our window was next to the kitchen extractor so we had a 7am wake up call each morning so avoid room 10 if you can!

Great food, great atmosphere, suitable location, ideal hotel for having your dog stay. Based on the age of the property, the upkeep of maintenance seems to be important to them. Stairs a little steep but plenty of character in the hotel and rooms. Great value for money.

If you want an authentic old English Hotel then this is for you. It was really old with oak beams everywhere but still clean. Pub seems to be the Hub of the village so also a good vibe. The village is really really quiet

Could be a bit slow serving breakfast. The car park was very small so unlikely to get in although there were other free car parks in the vacinity. Otherwise a very pleasing stay.

Older property, but well maintained. Friendly and helpful staff. On site parking a plus. Has both a restaurant and a pub ….. food was good. Comfortable bed but no A/C …. Not a problem in May….probably would be in summer. No elevator

Lovely location, historic property and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Although the property needs a bit of tlc the rooms are spotlessly clean, beds comfortable and towels and bed linen first rate. Breakfast is certainly a cut above with great ingredients and perfect portions. We will certainly stay again.

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.

Cranbrook is a quaint town in Kent and the George is an institution,quintessential England.That is the main attraction for us that and the included Breakfast.It is a very old building and therein lies its charm but if you are of a fastidious nature probably not for you as it is a little careworn and in need of a serious makeover.Tired carpets,walls and doors in need of a repaint,poor soundproofing,baths with chipped vinyl .A great difference in room choice,definately go for deluxe

The room was clean and the bedding spotless alas no chairs to relax in and I was given a superior room but a booked a luxury room. The lounge bar although ready on the evening was closed during the day for some carpentry works The property was cold as was the room so sleep didn’t come easily. The windows condensated up and yes it was jolly cold The manager was helpful and kind but nevertheless the stay wasn’t comfortable

Love the George,only show in Town and got a good rate which with a great English breakfast included made it great value. It’s a really old building and a pub thus full of character and charm but don’t expect modern,state of art.Crooked walls,uneven floors,creaky boards and carpets a bit tired . Set in the Weald of Kent which is beautiful country and Cranbrook a typical village
