A little gem set in an idyllic spot, close to a good network of roads perfect for our needs as a stop over to Poole Laurie greeted us with a warm welcome, inside did not disappoint perfect for any event. A special evening or even a wedding The George had a lovely atmosphere with decoration and lighting. The George has many nooks and crannies to sit idyllic. Outside plenty of seating with a pretty wildlife garden to sit with lots of picnic benches and play area perfect for families. A large free car park at the back of venue. We had an evening meal and breakfast which was beautifully presented booking on arrival is suggested as very popular. Our room was spacious with added bonuses of hairdryer, iron and board. We will book The George again as exceptional.

Nothing to dislike extremely quiet.

We stayed for a couple of days, and it was a good base for the things we wanted to do. The room was very comfortable and good facilities. Food is available for breakfast and lunch and dinner. We slept well and the bed was very comfortable. Good options for breakfast.

It is on a busy road, but it didn't bother us, but expect it not to be quiet. We ate when it wasn't too busy, but I can imagine it can be slow when busy. It's not the cheapest pub and we enjoyed some food more than other meals. Water pressure is not great in showers, but it is an old building.

I liked the sympathetic and a-little-bit quirkiness of the decor. There was a warm welcome and there were a good selection of items on the breakfast. The room was comfortable and we were impressed to find a decent fan had been provided.

A small amount of dust in the corner of the bathroom suggested the place had been prepped in a hurry, and my hash brown was a bit overdone. These are very small things as I really liked the place, and totally forgivable in the context of a lovely family run venue .

We had a very comfortable time at The George Inn in Longbridge Devrill. The rooms, beds, dinner and breakfast were very good. There were eleven of us and we stayed there for two nights in August 2024. The staff were very friendly and efficient, particularly Alex who, on his first night as shift supervisor(!) had thirteen people turn up for dinner and he managed expertly! In addition, as we had to check out at 06:30 the following morning and miss breakfast, he managed to provide us with whatever we needed as breakfast-to-go! Thank you The George Inn and Alex!

No Complaints.

The room was really lovely and spacious with nice decor. Very comfortable super king sized bed with quality cotton bedding. Everything you needed was there - proper hairdryer, iron and board, smart tv, radio, tea and coffee facilities including a nespresso machine, large smart tv, radio and very useful charging units by the bed. The pub is attractive and authentic inside and the outdoor area by the river very pretty, complete with resident ducks. Having the little hut outside to order food and drink is a great idea.

Nobody available to help with check in when we arrived, they seemed short of staff as the actual pub was busy. When we ordered dinner they had started running out of food options, and also draft drinks (beer/pimms) A good geographical location but can be noisy all night as it is on a main road. The bathroom had a few minor imperfections but certainly functional.

Whoever furnished these rooms really thought about it. Some of the details - like providing USB charging points next to the bedside tables is a great feature for such a small hotel. A Nespresso machine instead of instant coffee - these are really thoughtful things to provide. The basics are also spot on; a great shower and a very comfortable bed! The menu wasn't all the usual predictable stuff; there was some good variety. And the guy who looked after us for our meal - he was articulate, witty, polite and professional...and really good at remembering a drinks order for the next round and keeping an eye on when we were ready to order etc. Top notch service and such a nice chap.

We're just sad that our work meant we had to leave before breakfast!

Good food and drinks - excellent selection of menu items. I ordered from the tapas menu for dinner and had lots of options to choose from. Breakfast was great - lots of different cooked or continental items to choose from. The room was large, comfortable and had everything I needed for a business trip - a desk, plenty of outlets for the laptop, phone, etc and plenty of room to spread out and relax after work. This would be a good stop for exploring the area when not at work, plenty of parking and close to local attractions.

This is only a small issue - the shades in the bedroom allowed a lot of light in early in the morning - otherwise the room was perfect for my needs.

Really liked the way the windows were done in winter scenes. Inside was clean and tidy as was the outside . Room was spacious and clean , very clean linen on the bed aswell as towels . Staff were great very courteous and worked hard . Had dinner that was nice , breakfast was lovely with a wide choice , again the chap serving the breakfast was very polite and the lady when checking out was very polite . Will definitely stay again in the future was made to feel very welcome .

Nothing

The warm and friendly welcome from staff and the attitude that nothing was too much trouble ……. The room was lovely - really surprised at the four poster bed that was also extremely comfortable and cosy. The shower was heavenly, a nice rainfall head and one that you can take off the stand and use if you are in the bath etc…… decent size mugs for coffee and not just little ones ….. I could carry on with all the good things about the room lol

Only criticism was the carpet had a little damage and so did the ceiling but to be honest it’s not something that bothered us but no doubt someone would moan! Lol other than that there was absolutely nothing to say negatively.

The staff were welcoming and very helpful. The atmosphere and decor was well done and as you would expect in an old English Inn / pub whilst the bedroom was quite modern and very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing with many options to choose from.

Unfortunately the privacy blind in our bedroom was broken which meant it wouldn’t close. On reporting it to the evening staff I was told, “yes we know but a new one has been ordered” ???? I found out next morning that the room we were in was not supposed to have been let until the new blind was installed. This oversight was a bit disappointing, especially considering the window was in full line of sight to traffic coming up the road with lights on high beam through the night. In the end, a bit of Aussie bush ingenuity saved the nights sleep but I shouldn’t have had too. Would it stop us staying there again? No, as we realise this was something out of the ordinary but the fact there was no offer of a change of room at the start was a quite disappointing.
