An extremely gorgeous room in a very well re-built pub, the place exudes history throughout with little photos and objects throughout this lovely building, faithfully rebuilt after a fire. …

Stayed for 3 nights for work and found the rooms very spacious and very clean. All staff members I met were very friendly and very helpful. The food was great and at a reasonable price for the area and was a quick friendly service so hats off to the kitchen staff and the servers . I would highly recommend The George and if I am back in the area I would not hesitate on staying here again

Appalling service! Shown to a table, and drinks order taken so great start.... but that's where it ended. No menu given to us from the waiting staff, we had to find that ourselves. When the waiting staff came for our order they didn't know what the dishes of the day were, I mean really, basics. We ordered starters and a main each. A starter arrived on its own, delivered by the kitchen staff who quickly ran away. We waited and waited but no second starter arrived nor did any staff come to do a courtesy check. When the same member of staff that delivered the lonely starter, came back to clear, they thought the best course of action when asked to remove the second starter from the bill was to argue with my Girlfriend. Who knew, apparently that's a bad idea.... needless to say we didn't stay for the mains. Still at least the chippy was open down the road.The rooms are lovely, spacious and well decorated. The TV might as well be another wall painting though.I'd recommend finding another town in Dartmoor to stop and explore, as overall at the George Inn you will be disappointed 😞

When we arrived at this place we were very impressed with the exterior as it’s a very traditional looking building with a thatched roof, even though it was rebuilt in 2010 following a fire. …

The room wasn’t ready when we arrived (after the advised check in time). The kitchen fans was completely unacceptable and then the boiler noise was incessant all night. |The restaurant staff were helpful and friendly ||The room was otherwise clean and pleasant (bath a bit scummy?) |Good location.
