The George Wright Boutique Hotel, Bar & Restaurant

Not great! This was strange from the start! I had to provide ID at check in, so they photocopied my driving license. After checking with the manager, I was told I could take the copy with me the next day! Bed was really soft, which is not my preference, and in the morning the shower didnt work, so I had to go to a different room for a shower. The tea in the room was good (Yorkshire Tea) and the sausages at breakfast were good too, however!

Lovely place to stay Very welcoming and wonderful stay. Highlights of our trip were the breakfast and beautiful building.

We bought a groupon for an afternoon tea here as the pictures on groupon looked amazing! Unfortunately it was quite the opposite when we arrived. The hotel was in darkness, it looked closed. A member of staff unlocked the door for us to let us in and started switching on the lights. We were led to a table that wasn’t set, another member of staff started to bring over a couple of plates for us and a cup and saucer, no cutlery or napkins. The afternoon tea arrived very quickly but was very disappointing as looked nothing like the picture on groupon? Sandwiches were made fresh but the sweet treats were all shop bought, Mr Kipling and other shop bought food, had to ask for a napkin and cutlery to eat our treats with like a knife to cut the shop bought scone and spread the cream and jam! Very disappointed, no atmosphere, we were the only ones in the place, zero ambiance, they clearly weren’t prepared for our booking, pleasant staff but unprofessional establishment, would not go again unfortunately.

Wish could give it a zero, what’s known in the trade as a ‘ratter’ Unclean, scruffy stained carpets, blinds with layers of dust on them. Disinfectant that strong made eyes water but still didn’t mask foist/damp smell Wouldn’t want anyone to stay in such a dirty hole.

Cancelled my booking without informing me directly or giving any reason for cancellation. Not impressed if thats the level of service, you would be better of finding some where else to stay. I definitely wont be recommending them to anyone

This was the second visit to George Wright restaurant, the first was a few years back and wasn’t the best but I gave the benefit of the doubt as they’d not long been open, this time was inexcusable. We booked for my father’s 84th birthday for Sunday lunch, we were seated downstairs on a long table which was the best part of the afternoon. The chairs were unstable and you got the feeling they could collapse at any moment and the whole building was freezing cold, I even asked for the heating to be turned up and was told it was on full! On to the food, I found it over priced and pre prepared bought in / frozen catering food. I had goats cheese and red onion which tasted as if they were frozen packet bought, my main was roast beef - the meat was tough the Yorkshire pudding was greasy and not well made (although at least made in house), the best part was the veg which again I think was bought in ready prepared. My daughter had pork which she left most of as it was not nice, same veg. My parents had a bottle of Pinot which was un-drinkable and over 3/4 of the bottle was left. I complained to the waiter about the temperature and was told there’s nothing he could do as it was a grade 2 listed building, not a great answer really- maybe turn the heating on earlier! I complained about the food and wine and was met with well what do you want me to do about it! Total bill for 11 people was about £350 and I can honestly say it wasn’t worth £35, in my mothers words it was disgusting and we will not be returning.
