The George Hotel of Stamford

Returned again after gap. Regular client not quite as good some changes. No bread or water jugs dinner oak room tight on coffee sugar service slow at times seems more staff some nights than others. Still very attentive and obliging.Dinner garden room service not as good.

We came for a late lunch in the Garden Room … something we have been doing for over 30 years… indeed there are staff there who still recognise us and greet us. . The standard of service and food has always been excellent, however, yesterday the service we received fell very short of acceptable. The waitress was sullen and clearly was making absolutely no effort to greet and engage appropriately. Steak was ordered and she took the order without asking how we wanted it served; bread was ordered… did not appear … said she forgot … no apology. Beer was not satisfactory … politely asked for an exchange .. this can happen, no apology … just looked annoyed at having to change it … This was not removed from final bill … and then she looked equally fed up at having to alter the bill … still no apology! l hope this was an isolated incident and not a reflection on poor training and or a general deterioration in the quality normally expected from this establishment.

Just returned from another super visit to this fabulous Hotel. Everything about this Hotel is of the highest standard. The Oak Panelled Restaurant and Garden Room offer an amazing variety of dishes, all using only the highest quality. Professional and enthusiastic Staff throughout and the Housekeeping Depar**ent do deserve a special mention. So highly recommended.

Food is lovely, quite expensive but it is what you would expect at such a lovely restaurant, Stamford is a wonderful place to visit and a real treat at The George and highly recommend. Sunday lunch is a real treat and impeccable service, service is second to none!

The sunday lunch at the garden restaurant we had was lovely. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. The menu is quite varied with pretty large portion sizes. It can be a bit hit and miss though waiting for your order, all depending on how busy they are.

2nd time visiting the George and have to say excellent experience. All the staff were really friendly and attentive , room was great nice and clean and warm . Breakfast has a great choice of options . Lovely old fashioned romantic old coaching inn with log fires and relaxed surroundings . Will definitely be booking again soon

Very professional polite and courteous staff at every stage. Food was all delicious and well presented . Prompt service at all times . Ideal for a special occasion. Sat in the bar area first for a drink where they gave us the menus to look at and some canapés . Took the food order before we went into restaurant which was a good idea.

This hotel is a model of how to run one. The staff are helpful, friendly and excellent. The rooms are superb as is the food. The building could not be bettered for the history, cleanliness and location it being in surely one of the finest towns in the UK. If I have a quibble it is that there is no tea making facilities in the room which even the cheapest hotels supply and at these large prices it appears mean spirited indeed. It is something much appreciated after a long journey to a hotel and you do not want to wait for it to be delivered to your room.. Added to that if you ask for a pot of tea in the downstairs areas as a quest you are charged for it. This is not good enough and lets down what is apart from that a truly great hotel.

Just popped in for coffee with friends. We had 2 teas and a latte ( very small , and cup not full) £18!!! Although drinks are refillable, it is difficult to get service, as always appear to be short of staff. Previously had been with a bigger group just before Chris**as where we waited 45 mins for drinks, and when they arrive the order was incorrect. They always lways seem to have less staff than needed, but for £6 a drink, I expect tip top service.......
