The George Hotel of Stamford

We live in Stamford but decided to go all out and stay in the best place in the home town. We booked a double room and a table in the Oak Room restaurant. What a stay. The room was upgraded to a 4 poster room and the staff and service were all perfect. Free tea and coffee in the rooms, any drinks from the bar will be brought up. We visited all of the rooms downstairs and enjoyed the breakfast the next morning. The hotel really does love up to it's reputation, and while it is expensive, I feel it truly odd with every last penny. Hoping to stay again very soon.

We have just returned from another perfect stay at this wonderful hotel. We have travelled widely and The George is our favourite. We have had four different rooms of our choice over the years we have stayed here. This time we booked one of the superiors we really like and it was perfect again. It had everyone you would need for your stay and it was very clean, as was all of the hotel. We love the choice of food in the Oak Room and all our meals were delicious. The staff are extremely friendly, professional and helpful. We were sorry we had missed seeing Diane before her retirement. It was always a pleasure to have a chat with her at breakfast. We hope she enjoys her retirement and who knows we may see her around the town on our next visit. There is plenty of choice for breakfast and that sets you up for the day ahead. We also enjoy the sandwiches in the Bar. Always delicious. The room and hotel were nice and warm as the weather was bitterly cold outside. There is nothing we would change about this hotel. We will see you again in the very near future. Thank you to all the lovely staff.

This quintessentially British hotel is one of my family’s favorites when visiting this part of the country. On this occasion, we visited for lunch in The Garden Room (Courtyard). We were fortunate to have an incredibly warm summer’s day, making outdoor seating an obvious choice. We enjoyed ice-cold white wine accompanied by Porlock Bay Oysters, which were large but not creamy, perfectly sweet to our preference. I then had the Haddock and chips, which were gorgeously battered to perfection. The service was exceptional, and the ambiance of the venue was even better. It was a thoroughly enjoyable lunch.
