I stayed here as was visiting friends in the area and going to the Fakenham races. There is a car park right next to hotel with a barrier. Whilst there is some concreted area there was some gravel and this was muddy due to heavy rain. The reception area is small however arrived early and they were accommodating giving me... More

Sir, it is such a shame that you felt the need to put this review onto this site even though we had already wrote to you personally to try and resolve your issues as quickly as possible. Sadly this is becoming the norm. More

Wife and I stayed one night whilst attending local wedding. Hotel situated at North end of central market square area, car park entrance at right-hand side of hotel, security barrier operates when not busy. Check-in quick, friendly and efficient. Room clean, bright, with stylish bed linen. Appears quiet at night, but then we didn't get in until after midnight! Full... More

The hotel downstairs is nicely presented, but once you go upstairs to find your room, it is badly run down. The carpets are threadbare, along with the decor. Things didn't improve once I found my room. It was just unwelcoming. Really cold, with the view from the window looking at the rooftops and the vent from the kitchen, which was... More

I chose this hotel as it was conveniently placed for where I was working and the Best Western reputation. Maybe I have either been spoilt or lucky with my previous Best Western hotels as this wasn't one of my best experiences, but as far as hotels in general go it wasn't one of my worst either. The hotel in general... More

Thank you for your feedback. We do understand some rooms are smaller than others and that some floorboards are a little creaky, and although we do try to resolve this problem as much as we can, the George dates back to the 16th Century starting life as an old coaching Inn, so I'm afraid that some creaking is going be...

This old hotel with few frills delivers a good old fashioned house at a budget price. Good parking and good breakfast.

I chose this hotel for convenience and proximity to where i was visiting. It is quite an old fashioned in the hotel and bedrooms but this is not a criticism. The room was average sized and the bathroom oversized. It was very warm in the room and there wasn't anyway to adjust the temperature, in all fairness it had been... More

My partner and I stayed at the George Hotel last weekend and had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is a very old building and we stayed in the original part which has been updated throughout the bar and restaurant and reception area which are all very pleasant. Our room was on the top floor (no lift) but not a... More

The location of this hotel was the main reason for my booking one night due to business in the area. The staff and breakfast were excellent. The room was clean, a little old fashion but it did the job. The bed was a little on the hard side and the pillows were rock like! The main things I look for... More
