We loved the history and character of the property and our room. We loved the size of our room and the comfort of our bed. And we thought the staff were excellent, friendly and courteous.

The bathroom door was concealed into the wall making it very heavy to open and difficult to enter up two wooden stairs. Unfortunately after using the bathroom for half an hour, I forgot about the two stairs out of the bathroom and had a nasty fall hurting myself significantly. I believe that a little sign on the inside door saying “mind the steps” would have avoided this incident. I had difficulty walking for two days after this fall.

The George overlooks beautiful scenery to the rear with a lovely garden where you can eat and drink. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food very good. The location is great for visiting beautiful Bath and fascinating Frome! The building is very picturesque and full of character.

Our room, Monmouth, overlooked a surprisingly busy road junction, considering Norton St Philip is away from the main A36. Ear plugs are provided by the hotel! Like the pub, it had great character and it was a special experience staying there. The room was large and well appointed but the shower room was tiny with a very creaky door which caused problems in the night if we needed to go to the loo!

We stayed in the Abbots room, it’s a very good sized twin room, decorated well for the period of the property. Small seating area. The room overlooks the beer garden and cricket pitch. The beds were both cosy and comfortable. The room had two good sized bottles of water, a coffee machine and kettle. The bathroom was absolutely tiny, but understandable given the grade 1 listed status which no doubt prevents any modifications to enlarge this. That being said, it contained everything needed and the shower was nice and strong.

The bathroom door squeaks loudly. We did mention this to the staff, but it wasn’t repaired whilst we were there. The re was also a noisy pump in the store room below, this woke us the first morning. We mentioned it to the waiter at the evening meal, and it seemed to have been switched off as it didn’t waken us the following morning. The hospitality from the Inn in general was of a high standard. The food and drink were excellent, we were even provided coffee for our onward travel.

Loved how atmospheric it was. Very clean. Our room was bright and airy with a lovely view across the fields and church. We entered our room to low classical music which was a lovely touch. The beds were super comfy too. The shower would be a bit on the tight side for the larger traveller but it was very clean. We booked a table at the inn for our evening meal which was delicious, and we were given a complimentary drink. Wednesdays also allow for 25% discount on food if you download the butcombe app. Breakfast lovely too! No problem with parking either. Overall a great stay!

Everything was great.

It’s a beautiful, old building tastefully renovated to a high standard. Has such an interesting history in a lovely location. Twenty minutes from Bath, where we spent the day. Allows dogs & has a great outside area for warmer days. My family stayed in 3 rooms which were all beautifully furnished with antique furniture & quality decor & bedding. We all love our food & we’re not disappointed (won chef & pub of the year) Although it would have been nice to see more gluten free & veggie options. Delicious choice of breakfast as well. The staff were all so friendly, especially Holly behind the bar. Can’t praise it enough, excellent value for money, highly recommend.

Nothing

An incredible, historical old inn to stay in. Our room was beautifully presented, and spotlessly clean. Two mini bottles of prosecco was a lovely surprise (for my partner's birthday). The inn has a fantastic outside terrace area at the back with a lovely view - perfect for warmer weather, when it comes ! We ate in on our 2nd evening of our 2 night stay, and the meal (hake) was absolutely delicious. Clearly made by a chef who knows their stuff ! Breakfasts were really good too. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Norton St Phillip itself was an unexpectedly pretty village, and a delight to walk around.

Unfortunately our room was situated above a kitchen / utility room of some sort, which had equipment running all night, which was a bit noisy. Earplugs were provided in the room, but even using those, I did wake in the middle of the night feeling hot, and then took quite a while to get back to sleep due to the humming noise from below. My partner felt she could have done with something to hold onto when stepping out of the bath / shower.

This place is amazing, so old and full of history and yet so beautiful. We had a lovely twin room for our girly trip and it was perfect for us. We were greeted on arrival with free, complimentary drinks at the bar. We had a delicious evening meal in a comfortable and relaxed dinning area. The staff couldn't have been nicer, they were so pleasant and so attentive it just made our stay even more special. It's a 10/10 for the customer care given by the wonderful staff. I took lots of photos of this fantastic building to show my partner how awesome it is and I can't wait to return with him for another stay.

There is nothing to not like in my opinion.

Its history was unbelievable, the oldest pub in the uk. Coming from Oz we found it awesome and a privilege to stay with Linda and her team. Thank you Ian for helping us with our luggage and all the staff who were so friendly. The breakfast was delicious too and the welcoming drink was much appreciated.

Nothing, just wished we could have stayed longer. Next time we promise we will.

It is a beautiful building and the twin room was spacious and comfortable, and although the bathroom was small, the shower was great. The food was fantastic - both dinner and breakfast. But the staff are what makes this place exceptional, every single member of staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and professional.

It’s a listed building, so there are limits to what the owners can do, but it would have been nice to have air conditioning after such a hot day!

The whole pub is an absolute gem. The olde worlde ambience, fixtures & fittings, the bar, the beer, the wine, the food all just excellent. The staff were fabulous and very attentive and listened to all our needs. The room was charming and very well supplied, even down to the high quality loo paper. I can’t say more than the George is a must stay pub. Perfect in every way. Thank you to everyone at the George, you started our UK trip in the best possible way.
