What guests think

At The George & Dragon, reviewers praise the welcoming pub setting with character, comfortable rooms, and especially friendly staff, while dining earns frequent compliments for tasty meals and standout breakfasts, creating a warm, satisfying stay for many guests.

Several notes mention limited vegan choices and that cooked breakfast may cost extra. Rooms are often spacious and well decorated, though a few are not en suite and isolated comments cite lukewarm showers or kitchen smells. Cleanliness is generally good, with one report of dirty carpet and suspected bites; set in Rowde near Devizes, it suits travellers seeking a characterful country inn.

Really nice quirky hotel dating back to the 1600's. We had the ensuite room and it was clean, tidy and comfortable. Good drink making facilities in the room, good bathroom with a lovely deep bath. Chippy the owner was friendly and helpful with local knowledge. The restaurant majors on fish dishes, and the menu depends on what is available that day.

Very good experience, very warm welcome from them, very comfortable sleep and good food in the morning. The building is so very old and so full of character but very well maintained and we really enjoyed it.

We had a very friendly and welcoming check in, but the room and amenities were very much not up to expectations. The “private” bathroom is not an en suite, but rather you have to go down the hallway. The carpet was dirty and old, and my partner got bitten by some sort of bug that has made the bed its home. The rooms are just above the pub kitchen so everything smells of cooked fat.

We were looking for somewhere to stay whilst attending a family function and by chance cane across The George and Dragon. We are so glad we did! What a beautiful pub with bundles of character. Our room was gorgeous; modern yet rustic and equipped with everything to make our stay spot on! Staff were lovely and attentive, and breakfast was amazing. We were greeted by a spread of freshly baked croissants, jams, cereal and orange juice. We opted for a cooked breakfast which was again spot on. We would most definitely return and will recommend to any friends and family! Thank you to the tram for making our stay fabulous:)

A lovely welcoming traditional pub with rooms. The staff were great and dinner was delicious. Although the booking states breakfast included, be aware that is the continental element only and cooked food is charged extra. I personally didn’t mind but would have been a little disappointed if I planned to have a full breakfast. The room was lovely but the shower was only just warm and the pressure was poor. Again, I’m used to hit & miss facilities but had my wife been staying, she wouldn’t have been best pleased.

Lovely room with comfortable bed and plenty of space. The staff were friendly and really helpful - they even offered us a lift to collect our car where we’d parked about a mile away for a party the day before. Great to have a guaranteed table in the restaurant for dinner too. We would definitely stay again.

Our host really did make our brief stay enjoyable. The George and Dragon has a style of its own and if tradition mixed with modern comfort is what you are seeking then this pub and restaurant will not disappoint you. They work to earn their reputation. The staff are both pleasant and engaging. It may be a cliche but you really will be made to feel welcome. Watch out for misinformation about its location. It is in the village of Rowde outside of Devizes.
