“Great Hotel in Brilliant Town Centre Location”
+Great town centre location. Lots of character. Car Park to rear (about 20 spaces). Brilliant breakfast both hot and cold. Saturday night entertainment. Friendly staff.
−Unfortunately, there is no lift and you could be on 3rd floor like we were so 6 flights of stairs. The hotel is next to the church and the clock starts to chime at 7.15, and every 15 minutes thereafter. We were there on a Sunday morning and the bell ringers went through their full repertoire from about 9.00 am so don't hope for a long sleep in.

“One night stopover mid journey back to Norn Iron”
+The hotel is an old Coach House/hotel approx 300 years old, and some floors have interesting levels? it is in the centre of Penrith and so everything is virtually within walking distance. Dinner was exceptional the new chef, with a new menu which was really good value for money. Breakfast was good, definitely worth it. All of the staff were pleasant and helpful many places don't get this?
−H&S has some kind of smoke sensor on the ceiling above the bed which flashed every 30 seconds or so. I'm one of those people that can;t sleep properly with flashing intermittent lights it and it ruined my nights sleep, Could either the location or sensor type changed as I hardly slept. Oh and parking in the yard at the hotel is an extra £6.50 which isn't advertised on the website? You have to pay to get the code to exit the yard?

+The George hotel has a great, central location, friendly helpful staff and a wide range of delicious breakfast options.
−The hotel would benefit from a refurb. Whilst the old world charm is lovely and public spaces are characterful, corridors are grubby and in need of a coat of paint. My room was fine but furniture is a bit cheap - low end IKEA style - and cold. This was sorted by extra blankets. The daily car park charge is not reasonable for residents and should be scrapped.

“Great location, friendly hotel but the room could do with some update.”
+The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The lounge area was comfortable. It was nice to see locals meeting up and having drinks and coffees in the hotel lounge.
−The room had very high windows that I couldn't see out of and when I arrived the room smell of old feet. The windows had restrictors on then but the hotel managed to unlock one of them. The bedding was poor, one pillow case with a 5 inch rip, one with holes in it and another that looked as though it had been on a bed before. Towels and bath mat were very grey. Heating took a long time to react and never warmed up the shower room. Luckily there was an oil filled radiator in the wardrobe so used that. Holes in the wall in places, the door needed properly painting - the room just needed to be maintained.
