“Let down on food”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

Food quality was simply not up to the prices charged. After a long wait, the duck leg was dry, turbot was a minimal portion, sausage and mash average, and although waitress took our disappointment back to the chef and relayed his apologies, that's where it ended. We decided to miss dessert. To finish it off, they had no credit card machine. We've been here once before over a year ago for lunch and it was very good, but we won't be back after this experience. Better value and better food to be had elsewhere. We did the right thing and gave them feedback, all they managed was to say sorry. Better than nothing I suppose, but not great customer care.

“Pleasant Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

We were a little concerned about booking at this hotel as located a little way outside of Darlington, which is really where we were to spend a lot of our time. However, the location was not too far and the quality of the hotel was really good. Our room was very clean, warm and comfortable and the staff very pleasant. We stayed over the Christmas holiday so not too, many people. Thanks to the George.

Room Tip: Request room with view if you wish to look over the adjacent river Tees.

“Will return”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

Just stayed one night and had a really great time. The hotel was busy and everyone was really helpful during our stay. The room was lovely, spacious, very clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Would not hesitate to stay again.

“Go in three years time!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

person found this review helpful

The George is a hotel which makes it's money as a wedding venue. It has a spectacular riverside setting. We stayed one night whilst visiting relatives in the area. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was very good. That's where the positives end. Although our room was spacious it was very dirty and there was no toilet role inthe bathroom. Poor attention to detail. Apart from the refurbished ballroom the hotel needs a serious makeover or at the very least a top to bottom clean!

“ok at best!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

The George is ok at best and sub par in the main, i stayed one night and must say that as a regular visitor to the area i think there is better value to be had elsewhere.
