Enjoyed this hotel
This was a lovely place. The staff was marvelous and so helpful. The dining room and lounge were very pleasant, and the young man--whose name I neglected to get--was the perfect server.

Great getaway, shame about the bath..
Stayed in the Heather room, beautiful old features, very comfortable. Spa bath switch jammed 'on' so had to be controlled by pull cord by door and plug leaked, couldn't relax in it as jets set to full power and on all the time.
Food, bar and service were a great, very warm and friendly. Would recommend the venue.. But not that room.

Lovely location, historic property and incredibly friendly and helpful staff.
Although the property needs a bit of tlc the rooms are spotlessly clean, beds comfortable and towels and bed linen first rate.
Breakfast is certainly a cut above with great ingredients and perfect portions.
We will certainly stay again.

A very historic hotel dating back well prior to Cromwell. The room was charming and the knight in armor in the reception area and swords over the fireplace with ancient oak mantelpiece in the restaurant was really nice as was the breakfast

Loved staying in the George Cranbrook. Only thing we didn’t like was the shower facilities in our room (12) the shower was difficult to switch on and more difficult to switch off! Very stiff knobs!

Lovely Hotel with your dog
Great food, great atmosphere, suitable location, ideal hotel for having your dog stay.
Based on the age of the property, the upkeep of maintenance seems to be important to them.
Stairs a little steep but plenty of character in the hotel and rooms.
Great value for money.
