Popped in for a light lunch whilst travelling through the area. Ordered a ham and mozzarella panini, what arrived was a white roll filled with ham and grated cheddar cheese! It had taken some time to arrive and I wanted to get on with my journey so I just ate it without querying or making a complaint. It would have... More

Just returned from a 3 day stay. The food was excellent and restaurant staff, although extremely busy, were always courteous and helpful. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the receptionist who told me she was far too busy to deal with a query I raised on the first morning and as the manager was not on duty until after... More

Have just returned from 3 nights at the George. The room was reasonably spacious, the furniture was a little tired but the beds and bathroom were spotless. The table d'hote meals included in the price were varied, offering good choice and were very pleasant. A la carte menu was available at a supplement but we never felt the need to... More

My husband booked 1 nights stay at this hotel for my birthday. On arrival we were told that the hotel had overbooked and that we were being sent to another 12miles away. We asked why we hadn;t been contacted by phone regarding this and were told that someone had tried that morning - I had been home at this time... More

The cost also included a full day trip to Durham,with a guided tour of the city and... More

The shower kept going from cold to scalding hot. The room door was left open by cleaners, and next to the fire escape door which was also left open. The television had a very poor reception, and no choice. There was lipstick on a mug on the tea tray when we arrived. I wrote dust dust dust on the TV... More

We have driven past The George many times and remarked how lovely it looks; stone built and nestling on the banks of the Tyne. We had never stopped because it's not that far from where we live and we were always in a hurry heading west, and in an even greater hurry coming back. We were looking for a place... More

It was with trepidation that I booked two double rooms for a 3 night stay commencing Friday 16th March. I had read some good, indifferent and bad reviews on TripAdvisor, however the location of the hotel was absolutely ideal for our purposes. Well folks, I will be going back with no hesitation at all. Was I lucky with Room 205?... More
