What guests think
At george and horn, many guests praise the friendly staff and value for money, while noting dated rooms, occasional maintenance issues, and the potential for significant noise in rooms above the pub, especially late into the evening.
Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with some finding rooms spotless and linens crisp, while others report stained walls, mould in showers, and lingering odours. Several guests said food and breakfast were unavailable, though a number of earlier reviews praised the meals. Expect a simple, good-value stopover in a lively pub setting.

Met by a man who did not smile once whilst checking us in. He then only issued 3 rooms and I had to tell him we had booked 4. Property is in overall poor condition with broken windows, window left open during heavy rain resulting in soaking wet carpet room smelt very musty. Could not fully close window and despite attempting to get a drink at 11.05 Pm I was refused yet underneath our bedroom they were playing loud music with speakers right below us and drinking until after 2.30am. Was not made to feel welcome at all. Breakfast took ages as only 1 lady available to both take orders and then cook breakfast. Would not recommend this property to anyone and certainly would not return.

The only downside to this stay was don't have rooms 2 and 3 as it's right above the bar and is very noisy while it was open, on the plus side the evening meal and breakfast was amazing. Despite this i would definitely stay here again but ask for a room in the court yard

We were made to feel very welcome and the staff were very helpful. Unfortunately, the premises heating system was on the blink and engineers were on site trying to remedy the problem. Our room was cosy but the public rooms were very cold especially at breakfast.

The venue wasn't open on arriving but gained access. The room was basic,but clean except for the wc that had been used ( not only as a urinal if you know what I mean )but not flushed or cleaned. Then informed that no restaurant facility's were availability. On requesting for a taxi informed none local and available on pre booking only. Had we know these details in advance we would have driven home after the function rather than back to the accommodation where noise from the bar until closing time was loud and not the most comfortable mattresses. Friendly pub manager raised this review.

Wer eine Unterkunft zu einem guten Preis sucht, ist hier richtig. Die Zimmer sollten Sie nicht mit deutschem Standard vergleichen, denn viele englische Gebäude sind alt und zum Teil renovierungsbedürftig. Unser Zimmer war sauber, das Bad (mit den oben genannten Einschränkungen) auch. Großes Plus: Die Unterkunft ist ein Pub und es gibt dort eine Vielzahl gezapfter Biere zur Auswahl, u.a. auch Guinness. Absolut top ist die Küche. Die Speisen sind sehr liebevoll angerichtet und schmecken lecker. Das englische Frühstück ist einfach genial. Parkplätze befinden sich hinter dem Haus. Aufgrund des Pub-Betriebs ist es abends ein bisschen lauter, was uns aber nicht weiter gestört hat. Die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter wäre da noch erwähnenswert - alle sind sehr bemüht, dass es auch an nichts fehlt. Wir können den Pub nur empfehlen und würden dort wieder übernachten.

Staff friendly but restaurant service was very slow due to staff shortage. The room allocated for us was of poor standard and requires updating specially the shower/toilet room, also it was directly above the bar which did not stop the loud noises until just before 12:00 midnight

The staff was lovely. That’s the only saving grace for this place. It has so much potential but hasn’t been spruced up in a long time. The beds were so uncomfortable. The room needed a major cleaning and updating.

We stayed in room three in the main building. It’s the shabbiest room we’ve ever stayed in. The carpet going upstairs was absolutely filthy and was an indication of the state of the room. It couldn’t have seen a lick of paint for twenty years and there were stains on the walls that looked like a drink had been split and had run down them. The bedding was clean but the bed was so hard we were tossing and turning to avoid pressure points. Every hour there was a loud noise for about ten seconds, which seemed to be a pump. The bathroom seemed to be clean but I couldn’t be confident that the shower was because it was so shabby, so we didn’t use it; luckily, we were only staying one night. Kingsclere is lovely but we won’t stay here again.

After reading the previous reviews l was sceptical. However the room was amazingly clean with lovely good quality sheets and towels, the bar area was excellent too very clean and welcoming. If you want to stay there please ignore the negative views ….. the rooms are dated but clean and if you want the Ritz Hotel I’m afraid you have to pay the price!!!! It’s excellent value for money!!!

Unfortunately I was met on arrival with the message that they no longer served breakfast and diner. I failed to spot the WiFi code in the room. The shower needs a jolly good clean to remove black mould. There was no one there this morning to settle up with. I’ll finish with a positive. The room was tidy the linen clean and crisp and the bed comfortable and it was inexpensive.

The stay was barely okay but that’s all. Biggest gripes are; a) The restaurant area felt greasy, it all needs a good clean. The bar area was similar with stained and grubby chairs. b) Very noisy in Room No. 2 as it’s above the bar. Loud background noise until closing time. The toilet had a free flowing water leak into the pan, as it’s a pumped waste pipe the loud rumble every few minutes was annoying. c) State of the room wasn’t good. The stool was again stained and grubby. No toilet roll holder. Sink didn’t hold water as plug ineffective. Worst of all though, if you did manage to fill the sink and then let the water go, the water flowed back up into the shower tray before slowly draining… With a proper funky smell as well! As you can tell, I wasn’t impressed by the Hotel, the staff were pleasant and helpful but the fixtures and fittings need attention.

I have stayed at the George and Horn many times over the past few years. It has varied between excellent and very average. My last stay was rather spoiled by two things. They have stopped doing any food at all. This includes breakfast, so the lady recommended another pub or the 'shops in the village' as a good place to eat. I ate at the Crown, which was wonderful. The other issue was that macerator in the bathroom which went off every five minutes throughout the night, and, added to the noise from the bar, made sleeping rather difficult. It's a lovely village, and the people are friendly, but as a place to stay it lacks the basics really. Always very good value for money though and after all, that is sometimes what counts. though

We stayed in room three in the main building. It’s the shabbiest room we’ve ever stayed in. The carpet going upstairs was absolutely filthy and was an indication of the state of the room. It couldn’t have seen a lick of paint for twenty years and there were stains on the walls that looked like a drink had been split and had run down them. The bedding was clean but the bed was so hard we were tossing and turning to avoid pressure points. Every hour there was a loud noise for about ten seconds, which seemed to be a pump. The bathroom seemed to be clean but I couldn’t be confident that the shower was because it was so shabby, so we didn’t use it; luckily, we were only staying one night. Kingsclere is lovely but we won’t stay here again.

It couldn’t have seen a lick of paint for twenty years and there were stains on the walls that looked like a drink had been split and had run down them. The bedding was clean but the bed was so hard we were tossing and turning to avoid pressure points. Every hour there was a loud noise for about ten seconds, which seemed to be a pump. The bathroom seemed to be clean but I couldn’t be confident that the shower was because it was so shabby, so we didn’t use it; luckily, we were only staying one night. Kingsclere is lovely but we won’t stay here again.

The venue wasn't open on arriving but gained access. The room was basic,but clean except for the wc that had been used ( not only as a urinal if you know what I mean )but not flushed or cleaned. Then informed that no restaurant facility's were availability. On requesting for a taxi informed none local and available on pre booking only. Had we know these details in advance we would have driven home after the function rather than back to the accommodation where noise from the bar until closing time was loud and not the most comfortable mattresses. Friendly pub manager raised this review.

Wer eine Unterkunft zu einem guten Preis sucht, ist hier richtig. Die Zimmer sollten Sie nicht mit deutschem Standard vergleichen, denn viele englische Gebäude sind alt und zum Teil renovierungsbedürftig. Unser Zimmer war sauber, das Bad (mit den oben genannten Einschränkungen) auch. Großes Plus: Die Unterkunft ist ein Pub und es gibt dort eine Vielzahl gezapfter Biere zur Auswahl, u.a. auch Guinness. Absolut top ist die Küche. Die Speisen sind sehr liebevoll angerichtet und schmecken lecker. Das englische Frühstück ist einfach genial. Parkplätze befinden sich hinter dem Haus. Aufgrund des Pub-Betriebs ist es abends ein bisschen lauter, was uns aber nicht weiter gestört hat. Die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter wäre da noch erwähnenswert - alle sind sehr bemüht, dass es auch an nichts fehlt. Wir können den Pub nur empfehlen und würden dort wieder übernachten.

Was just a one night quick stop as a solo traveller on a motorcycle trip was adequate enough. No food option at all. Read reviews it was noisy, I did not find that the case really.

Nice and convenient place. Just remember that your room is right over the pub so there is some noise.

The only downside to this stay was don't have rooms 2 and 3 as it's right above the bar and is very noisy while it was open, on the plus side the evening meal and breakfast was amazing. Despite this i would definitely stay here again but ask for a room in the court yard

Staff friendly but restaurant service was very slow due to staff shortage. The room allocated for us was of poor standard and requires updating specially the shower/toilet room, also it was directly above the bar which did not stop the loud noises until just before 12:00 midnight

Good pub atmosphere, friendly staff. Room was upstairs, needs full refurbishment and mattress replaced. Stains on walls, stink of sewage in room. Manageable for 1 night but wouldn't stay again. Sadly no food options.

Unfortunately I was met on arrival with the message that they no longer served breakfast and diner. I failed to spot the WiFi code in the room. The shower needs a jolly good clean to remove black mould. There was no one there this morning to settle up with. I’ll finish with a positive. The room was tidy the linen clean and crisp and the bed comfortable and it was inexpensive.

No food which was disappointing and we were not told beforehand. TV in both rooms didn’t work despite trying to tune it. One room missing tv remote. One bathroom good but the other needs renovating. Rooms were not serviced after first night which was not what we expected. Bar was ok with friendly staff.

I have stayed at the George and Horn many times over the past few years. It has varied between excellent and very average. My last stay was rather spoiled by two things. They have stopped doing any food at all. This includes breakfast, so the lady recommended another pub or the 'shops in the village' as a good place to eat. I ate at the Crown, which was wonderful. The other issue was that macerator in the bathroom which went off every five minutes throughout the night, and, added to the noise from the bar, made sleeping rather difficult. It's a lovely village, and the people are friendly, but as a place to stay it lacks the basics really. Always very good value for money though and after all, that is sometimes what counts. though
