The hotel offers free parking and a choice of comfortable rooms, one with private bar facilities, which are suitable for small gatherings and for larger receptions of up to 110 guests - it’s the perfect environment in which to remember the life of a loved one and pay tribute with family and friends.

Customer Reviews

Carole A - April 2017

"My husband loved the George hotel, so it had to be the place for us to join together family and friends after his funeral.
It was a lovely intimate setting, a small gathering of 30.
We had a warm welcome from Tim on our return, lovely tea/coffee, sandwiches, cakes and pastries. All lovely and fresh, may I add, we also had the use of the bar, to raise a glass to my Ian.
We were never rushed even though it was held late afternoon.
Thank you everyone you did him proud.
Regards, Carole"
