The George Hotel

Where to start? Very warm welcome from lovely lady. Room really clean but very small and stuffy (window opens a few inches but road noise awful). No WIFI which we asked about and were told it was being 'upgraded' and connection was 'fragile' so 'keep trying'. We tried for a couple of hours as we needed it due to there also being no phone signal. It didn't connect. Breakfast was a shambles. Choose from continental or cooked but continental was missing advertised cheese and cooked meats. I asked if what was on the small table was the entire continental and was told 'yes, it's all there'. So I asked, if I choose a cooked breakfast, can I have a croissant, given that the continental had so little on it. Answer 'no, it's one or the other'. Hospitality at it's finest 🙄 Two types of croissant on offer. Burnt ones which appeared to be reheated from previous day and others which were lovely. They were the only 'bread' option on offer. Otherwise, cereal, juices, yogurts and apples so the poorest continental I have ever seen. Overall, this is a very overpriced hotel with little in the way of actual hospitality.

A very good hotel with comfortable rooms, a good bar and restaurant. Parking directly onsite was so convenient. Breakfasts were generous and freshly cooked. The dinner we had in the restaurant was very good, one certainly does not leave the table hungry. The staff went out of their way to assist in every way…. WELL DONE.

We went with friends for the 1st Sunday lunch under new management. We were very disappointed as we were invited by friends to join them we didn’t want to complain. But the plates came out swamping in gravy and the beef & pork were so tough we asked for steak knives. Cauliflower cheese was an extra at £4.50 overall disappointing the waitress was also very aloof. It’s the first time I’ve been in the George for years and will probably be years until I go back.

I cannot fault this absolute gem of a hotel and the managers and their team. I’m a local, went to school here and have lived here as have my family for 35 years! I live an hours drive away now but visit frequently and always visit the George. We had a family get together last weekend ad my partner and I decided to book a room to save us the travel home as we would be tired and we were not disappointed! JAMES, you absolute gentleman, you and your staff are exceptional, you should be so proud, you upgraded our room when I told you we were staying, their was no issue on our side, you did it out of your own heart, bless you. I’ve been frequenting the George for many years and I’ve never been disappointed.. it is glorious,stunning, the compliments are endless, as they should be! Everything and everyone is and was an absolute delight, the rooms, breakfast, ambiance, everything. As you know I will return as I am a “local”. Love to you all❤️

Had 6 friends staying here after a days shooting I was invited to join them for breakfast. Only to find out the chef is in charge and it was impossible to have a breakfast. Would not use this hotel in the future and will advise the rest of the shooting community the same.

We chose this hotel to stay for one night on the way to Sidmouth. The George was a good choice, initial greetings were friendly and our room was ready a little earlier than check in. The room itself was a decent size, very clean and oh so comfortable. After a drink outside in the sun we had a wander around Axminster. Not to much in the town but enough to keep us browsing. We had made a reservation in the restaurant for the evening and the food was perfect (please note the portions were very generous). Every member of staff were friendly and welcoming. Do book to have the breakfast it starts the day off just right. Thank you The George we look forward to staying again.
