The George Hotel, Dorchester-on-Thames

After a stressful 5-hour journey in the dark, opening the door to The Oak Room at The George felt like stepping into heaven. Every detail was sheer perfection. Every inch of the suite has a special touch. From the plush couch in the relaxing area to the bedside history book that added a thoughtful local element. The high ceilings lent a sense of grandeur, while the room's warm, old-school English charm made it feel incredibly cosy. Despite its size, it was perfectly heated, and I felt utterly cocooned in luxury. The canopy bed was the comfortable, making me feel like a princess. Normally, I'd opt for the walk-in shower, but with a stunning bathtub raised on a platform in the centre of the room how could I resist? The staff were exceptional; warm, friendly, and attentive, with lovely personal touches like a handwritten note from housekeeping. And the food? Divine. Arriving late, I treated myself to a mouth watering bread and butter pudding in my room - the perfect sweet ending to a long day. I'm a particular about breakfast, and my eggs were spot on. As someone who regularly travels for business, I can confidently say I've found a little slice of heaven in The George Hotel. This isn't just a stopover anymore - it's my go-to. If you're looking for comfort, charm, and ta little indulgence, make The George yours too.

Very good stay. Laura on front desk was very helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Would definitely return and highly recommend to others. The only negative was the soundproofing in bedroom, we could hear everything from next door room.

This hotel is beyond amazing. The first of two Coaching Inn Group establishments we stayed in we didn't know what to expect. The whole place was a delight from beginning to end, a special mention to Bruce who checked us in and later chatted to us in the bar, what a delight. Old world hospitality in a historic Inn setting. The food was so good we ate here for our whole 3 night stay.
