The George Hotel, Castle Cary - A Quintessential English Inn
Stepping into The George Hotel is like stepping back in time, yet with all the comforts a discerning traveller expects. This is a friendly, family-run, 15th-century building that has managed to retain its historical charm while offering a thoroughly modern experience. It serves as an ideal base for exploring the picturesque market town of Castle Cary and the wider Somerset countryside.
Location
Centrally situated in the quaint, historical market town of Castle Cary, The George Hotel places you at the heart of it all. Wander through the town centre, and for those with a penchant for shopping, the renowned Kilver Court and Clarks Village are within easy reach. Nature lovers will find ample opportunity to explore the West Wiltshire Downs, the Yeovil Country Park, and the scenic Cranborne Chase, all easily accessible from this prime location.
Style and Character
As a 15th-century inn, The George Hotel exudes an authentic historical character, evident in its old beams and the roaring open Inglenook fireplace found in one of its welcoming bars. The atmosphere is one of cosy antiquity, particularly in the evenings when the bars transform into candlelit havens. This timeless charm is balanced by the airy, well-kept rooms that provide modern comforts.
Service and Facilities
The hallmark of The George Hotel is its attentive, family-run service, where staff are dedicated to enhancing your enjoyment and relaxation. Complimentary wireless internet access is available throughout, ensuring you stay connected. For those arriving by car, self-parking is available. The two bars offer a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, with the back bar providing a contemporary alternative to the main space, and both are equipped with cosy fireplaces and aged beams.
Rooms
The hotel offers airy rooms that provide a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration. Standard amenities include free Wi-Fi, televisions, desks, tea and coffee making facilities, and en suite bathrooms complete with complimentary toiletries. Some units feature a seating area for added comfort. For a truly special experience, one room has been appointed with a four-poster bed, designed to make the occupier feel like royalty. Family rooms include a private bathroom with a bath or shower and a hairdryer, furnished with a desk and a seating area, offering ample space with two beds.
Food and Drink
Dining at The George Hotel centers around its steak and grill menu, featuring locally sourced ingredients prepared fresh on the premises. The extensive, traditional a la carte menu, alongside the chefs' daily specials, can be enjoyed in either of the two bars, creating a lovely cosy atmosphere for your meal, especially when by candlelight. For an added touch of indulgence, an in-room gin and cocktail bar is available. Guests can also look forward to an excellent complimentary breakfast, served daily from 10 am until 11:30 am.
Value for Money
The George Hotel offers a compelling value proposition, providing comfortable accommodation and excellent dining in a historical setting at a fair price point. The inclusion of a complimentary breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and the charming atmosphere of the inn contribute to a satisfying guest experience that feels worth the investment for a short break.
Accessibility
While the hotel retains its historic 15th-century character, efforts have been made to accommodate guests. Free Wi-Fi in public areas and heating in rooms are standard. Specific details regarding accessibility for guests with mobility issues would require direct inquiry with the hotel.
Family-Friendly
The George Hotel is a suitable option for families, with some rooms accommodating multiple guests. The availability of local attractions such as Haynes International Motor Museum and The Newt in Somerset makes it an engaging destination for all ages. The inclusive atmosphere and attentive service contribute to a welcoming environment for families.
“The genuine warmth of the staff stands out, especially their attentiveness to individual needs, even on short notice; their fish and chips alone might be worth the visit. While a recent dinner showed some inconsistencies in the kitchen, the team's responsiveness seems to be a consistent highlight. It appears to be a place where the human touch matters.”
