The on-site pub/restaurant and beer garden with countryside views receive strong praise. Rooms are comfortable and full of period charm, though some bathrooms are small and certain road-facing rooms report noise. The village location is scenic and convenient for visiting Bath. Overall, expect a historic-inn experience with charm and some quirks.

The George Inn and the Plaine is an amazing property that has served beer for over 700 years. It has retained a lot of original features. The restaurant was excellent and the staff were really super. Every restaurant should have a Lola! Lovely room with a good, if small, bathroom. The Plaine is a little noisy due to the traffic at peak times but we had a really, really super time here and will be back. Great location to get to many places, including Bath. The area is beautiful and the village lovely. I kept thinking I was in a Tudor film-set. Again, the staff were excellent and so helpful. Stayed in another hotel belonging to the brewery and it wasn't a patch on the George, not even close. Delightful place to be.

We had just spent a few dayts in Bath. and chose the last day of our trip for my wifes birthday at the lovely George Inn. We received a warm welcome from the staff and we were in The Wells room located in the building opposite called the Plaine.Thne room was a good size a slight smell of damp but can only assume that is down to the age of the building.The room was clean and well lit plenty of lighting from the windows. Only two tea bags and two coffee pods a few extras would be nice for the morning. We had dinner pre booked for 7pm and had a drink at the bar first. A good selection of alcohol free drinks for my wife. Dinner was very enjoyable I had beetroot tart tatin too start my wife the trout, then the pork and my wife the steak. We finished noff our meal with sticky toffee pudding and a bramley choux bun. Breakfast next morning was lovely a full english for myself and my wife opted for avocado on toast with bacon instead of egg. This is a truly lovely location and we do recommend this hotel.

A fabulous stay in a magnificent old period building. The location was picture perfect and superb views from the garden at the rear, lovely spot to have a drink in the sunshine. The food was first rate and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Only 15 minutes from the 'park and ride' into Bath. We'll definitely be back.

Everything about our stay at The George Inn was memorable. Check in was easy. Lola, who is one of the managers who also served us at the pub/restaurant, made us feel incredibly welcomed. Hospitality at its finest. The room was STUNNING. Impeccably clean and like a scene from a story book. The area around the Inn is breathtaking. Service and food at the pub/restaurant was so good. Food was absolutely delicious and prepared expertly. Josh was our sever and took care of us really well. Not a single complaint about anything. We loved. The service, the food, the room, the area 10/10

Magical. Almost flawless! We had a great time - the rooms were great, clean, old but modern if that makes sense. Water pressure was great for showers which I wasn't expecting! Food was amazing as well - the venison was so tender, the breakfasts were fantastic and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Lola especially was exceptionally helpful and friendly. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to Bath. Really I was surprised at how good the stay was.

A lovely place for our 3-night stay. The Faulkland room we stayed in was very comfortable and well appointed, all worked as it should. Bathroom was a bit tight on space but still fine. This room is on a busy road, so traffic noise was there but didn't seem to keep us awake. Mind you, we're used to no traffic noise. All staff we came across were very friendly and couldn't do enough to help. Special shout out here to Josh. Great customer focused service! Food in the restaurant was good, service impeccable. A very relaxing stay, thank you.

Stayed for one night in the most beautiful of rooms. The mattress and pillows were perfect. Food was excellent and the staff were exceptional. I only have one bugbear, I couldn’t sleep because of the vibrating, droning sound which I think was coming from below my room, that stopped finally around 2am. But that being said I still can’t wait to return.

We slept like logs - the bed was very comfortable! It was lovely to stay in such an beautiful building and room. We had a lovely evening dinner there & a fabulous breakfast. Overall very good value for money. The location was quiet and we enjoyed a walk around the lovely village the next morning before leaving.

Characterful, historic inn with lots of interesting features and set in beautiful countryside South of Bath. Well-renovated, comfortable and quiet bedrooms. It has the potential to be a four-star gem. Unfortunately that wasn't our experience. We arrived and struggled to find Reception: signs for this pointed to a busy bar. Nobody greeted us or gave directions; the check-in point turned out to be in a dining room and several staff passed by but we were kept waiting. The bed was comfortable and the bed room was well-renovated, but small with a tiny bathroom and cramped shower cubicle. The breakfast menu looked excellent as others have reported, but delivery did not match expectations while the service was gruff and rude. Staff pushed past us into the dining room. Muzak was piped through the speakers. Supposedly "flat white" coffee was weak and tasteless. Fruit juice appeared to be out of a cheap supermarket carton. Eggs Benedict came on stale untoasted muffins, shakshuka was watery and served with overcooked eggs; a question about the preparation time was brushed off because "you're not in a rush". When requesting water, one tiny glass was brought for one of us but not the other; when asking for bread, no honey was available and we had to choose either jam or marmalade.

We had just spent a few dayts in Bath. and chose the last day of our trip for my wifes birthday at the lovely George Inn. We received a warm welcome from the staff and we were in The Wells room located in the building opposite called the Plaine.Thne room was a good size a slight smell of damp but can only assume that is down to the age of the building.The room was clean and well lit plenty of lighting from the windows. Only two tea bags and two coffee pods a few extras would be nice for the morning. We had dinner pre booked for 7pm and had a drink at the bar first. A good selection of alcohol free drinks for my wife. Dinner was very enjoyable I had beetroot tart tatin too start my wife the trout, then the pork and my wife the steak. We finished noff our meal with sticky toffee pudding and a bramley choux bun. Breakfast next morning was lovely a full english for myself and my wife opted for avocado on toast with bacon instead of egg. This is a truly lovely location and we do recommend this hotel.

Very different from hotels in cities. Patio, bar, restaurant had lots of well behaved dogs! Assume most were local. Patio looks down on large fields. Before sunset people walking, playing futbol. Room was unique, worried wife would not like it. But she loved it. Spacious, old, stairs appear challenging but not a problem. Did get help moving our too heavy bags. 20 minute drive to Bath and there is a bus if you don’t want to drive.

A fabulous stay in a magnificent old period building. The location was picture perfect and superb views from the garden at the rear, lovely spot to have a drink in the sunshine. The food was first rate and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Only 15 minutes from the 'park and ride' into Bath. We'll definitely be back.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED our trip to this BEAUTIFUL little medieval village and TOP NOTCH HOTEL. Full of history, loved slow pace of the town, relaxed. Everything about the hotel was well-preserved and restored (retaining history).

Beautiful hotel, very friendly staff, with a great pub for the evening. Definitely will return. Easy access to Bath but the public bus is unfortunately unreliable so a taxi is recommended.

Beautiful centuries-old building with quirky and charming details. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable. It felt safe and quiet in a small quaint village. Very short and pleasant drive to Bath, Stonehenge, and stunning countryside.

We stayed for one night in August in the main building Coombe/King Charles room up the wobbly stairs! What a lovely room, all beams & low doors - very historic. We slept like logs - the bed was very comfortable! It was lovely to stay in such an beautiful building and room. We had a lovely evening dinner there & a fabulous breakfast. Overall very good value for money. The location was quiet and we enjoyed a walk around the lovely village the next morning before leaving.

A lovely place for our 3-night stay. The Faulkland room we stayed in was very comfortable and well appointed, all worked as it should. Bathroom was a bit tight on space but still fine. This room is on a busy road, so traffic noise was there but didn't seem to keep us awake. Mind you, we're used to no traffic noise. All staff we came across were very friendly and couldn't do enough to help. Special shout out here to Josh. Great customer focused service! Food in the restaurant was good, service impeccable. A very relaxing stay, thank you.

Characterful, historic inn with lots of interesting features and set in beautiful countryside South of Bath. Well-renovated, comfortable and quiet bedrooms. It has the potential to be a four-star gem. Unfortunately that wasn't our experience. We arrived and struggled to find Reception: signs for this pointed to a busy bar. Nobody greeted us or gave directions; the check-in point turned out to be in a dining room and several staff passed by but we were kept waiting. The bed was comfortable and the bed room was well-renovated, but small with a tiny bathroom and cramped shower cubicle. The breakfast menu looked excellent as others have reported, but delivery did not match expectations while the service was gruff and rude. Staff pushed past us into the dining room. Muzak was piped through the speakers. Supposedly "flat white" coffee was weak and tasteless. Fruit juice appeared to be out of a cheap supermarket carton. Eggs Benedict came on stale untoasted muffins, shakshuka was watery and served with overcooked eggs; a question about the preparation time was brushed off because "you're not in a rush". When requesting water, one tiny glass was brought for one of us but not the other; when asking for bread, no honey was available and we had to choose either jam or marmalade.

Magical. Almost flawless! We had a great time - the rooms were great, clean, old but modern if that makes sense. Water pressure was great for showers which I wasn't expecting! Food was amazing as well - the venison was so tender, the breakfasts were fantastic and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Lola especially was exceptionally helpful and friendly. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to Bath. Really I was surprised at how good the stay was.

Really nice cozy hotel in the old style. Only downside was the very hot temperature in the room. There was a fan but it didn’t really help and because the building is so old, the windows didn’t open. Take the opportunity to have dinner in the restaurant, it is not just the normal pub-food. It’s great

This is a super find (especially if you have a dog)! The staff could not have been more accommodating and the room was sublime. My furry friend and I had an excellent dinner .. in fact he ate most of it!! Do try and go if you have the opportunity .. great.
