My husband and I stayed for 2 nights where the staff were great.
The room was very spacious, but we found the mattresses that we joined together not good for our backs.
Also, without footwear, I found it difficult to pull the blind and found wooden splints in the rug.
When using the over bath shower, there was only about a third of a curtain, so the water escaped between the bath and basin.on the way to room 12, at nighttime, there were now bulbs in the first and last light fitment.
Also, there was no hairdryer and, although many people would not watch TV, possibly the mostly watched channels BBC and ITV 1 were unavailable.
The price of the accommodation was good value for this area, but £20 for beer battered fish, chips and £12 for the 3 cheese board was rather high, compared to in southern Dorset.
Although there are great staff, because of the accommodation and food prices, we will not be returning.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel could do with some improvements and the wifi needs to be much better. The food average and the breakfast disappointing.

Excellent food, friendly and efficient staff - rooms average cleanliness (wooden floors, dusty and bathroom average) even though bed linen was spotless.

Very nice hotel - extremely attentive staff. Lots of character. Very comfortable bed. Big bathroom with efficient shower. Because it's an old building, it is a bit shabby in places, but this is in character and doesn't affect one's enjoyment. Food was good - great central location with parking.

Amazing place. The locals are above and beyond friendly and welcoming. Pip, Chloe, Harley and the team are the most helpful, friendly and diligent that could possibly be. I would highly recommend. Already booked in for next year!

The Hotel forgot to advise us they would have a 2 day beer festival with live music right next to the room for 2 of the days of our stay. We had live music until 11:30pm for both Saturday and Sunday and were not able to sleep properly. They mentioned it on check in as if we could have done anything about it and didn't offer any alternatives. On the Sunday we could hardly even access the room with tables and people just outside the entrance door. The entrance to the room was not properly clean and the general cleanliness was very poor. They didn't even bother to clean the room on the Sunday. They did not give us a discount and only offered to discount less than half of a dinner we had there. Would not return.

We knew the property but had never stayed. Used as a base for staying in local area. Rooms were subject to noise from outside smoking area so not ideal if you wish to sleep before closing time.

Great place to stay in historic castle Cary…friendly staff, comfy rooms and great classic breakfast to see off a hangover!
Rooms are a little shabby but were clean and functional…certainly value for money at £100 per couple included breakfast and parking.

The room itself was clean, and they had shampoo/showergel/towels and the shower had fairly good pressure. However if we were staying longer than one night clothes storage would have been a problem as there was no wardrobe or drawers! Additionally the sing bed was incredibly uncomfortable S there were 2 slats missing from the middle of the bed.

Dreadful bathroom - Nothing worked ( light , ventilation , towel rail heater stuck on hot)
We were not told about Cider/Beer festival and car park closure and live/loud music......
Many items on menu not available.

Had stayed at The George on several occasions and knew what to expect. What I didn’t expect was to have Christmas carols blaring into the room until 2300. They only stopped when I went downstairs to ask the manager if he realised the music blaring in the bar and restaurant was the same in the bedrooms above. Sound insulation would go along way to solving the problem.
Also did not expect the waiter to whip our plates out from under us the moment each of us finished as he was in a hurry to get us out and the drinkers for the local hunt in.
Did not expect to be charged for a room that had the occupants name changed on Expedia but The George took as a fourth room being added. At no time did they ask where the fourth guest was and when was he checking in. It was only on returning home did I receive an email stating my card had been charged for the fourth room. Manager less than helpful.
The extended family have overlooked the shabby diy decor in the rooms as the hotel is within walking distance to the grandchildren but bad customer service is unforgivable.
Finally not sure how legal it is to lock the doors to the hotel at night without having a crash bar on the door to get out without a key.
Delay in writing has been due to wrangling with Expedia about the extra room charge, They finally called it quits and refunded the charge themselves as they couldn’t get a straight answer from the hotel. Hope the extra cash was worth it as you’ve lost future bookings.
