George and Dragon Clifton

George and Dragon Clifton

8/10 Good
"We had another enjoyable stay overall at the George and Dragon with good beers available and an excellent dinner. The indifferent greeting from the young man on reception was not ideal however after a long journey travelling from Scotland but the helpful and indeed cheerful barman more than made up for it. Our room decor and furnishings were of a high standard but let down by a toilet seat that had split and become loose, used cotton buds in the bathroom bin, a shower control that was stiff to operate and the shower head was so loose that it kept falling back down the rail. There is inevitable traffic noise from 6 am onwards in the rooms at the front but the breakfast was excellent."
