Best Western George Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stay here because it is convenient for visiting family. The bed was comfortable however with the high temperature it was difficult to sleep. The fan is not adequate enough to cool down the room. We have stayed here lots of times however the shower in this room was the worst one that we had."

The Maltings

10/10 Excellent

"Our three night stay at The Maltings was completely excellent - the location is superb, the hotel is spacious and very well appointed with a well stocked traditional bar and numerous seating areas. The Grainstore is the hotels restaurant and it is delightful - all staff were very friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble, we ate there on two of our evenings, the food was of very high quality and delicious. The Maltings is definitely a hotel we'll make return visits to!"
