더 조지 호텔(The George Hotel)

Greeted by Neil and Angela- the hosts with the most! This is a 3 story hotel, a lovely old building with an open fireplace in the bar area which was topped up throughout our evening, making it a very cosy space. Lots of locals and a cheery, chatty atmosphere, this hotel is very much at the heart of the village of Orton. The pub - which serves food and has a wide range of beers, wine and spirits. We were their first guests since they took over the George Hotel 8 days ago. The room we were allocated - no. 7, was stylish and comfortable with everything we needed. En suite bathroom was spotlessly clean and had complementary toiletries. Some wear and tear to the carpet in the bedroom but they have this in hand. We had a lovely meal which was more than sufficient - pie for my OH and a burger for myself which was freshly cooked by Neil and Angela while Amy served at the bar, keeping everyone's drinks flowing. Perfect location for the lakes and walks on Orton Scar. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts and the continental breakfast was beautiful following our good night's sleep on a very comfy king-sized bed with crisp sheets and soft pillows. A very enjoyable stay

The George Hotel is now under the care of a temporary manager. When we arrived the linen for our bed unfortunately hadn't. We ordered our roast dinner and went off to have a shower. Alas the shower door fell into 2 pieces, but we managed. On return to the bar we asked for the internet code, but access to this was denied. I suggested that it was unreasonable to deny internet access to paying guests - the manager told me that there was another pub in the next village. The barmaid then came to ask whether we wanted dinner - we pointed out we had already ordered it but apparently we were expected to go and confirm the order. The roast dinner did arrive and was delicious. At the same time, the arrival of the bed linen was confirmed. When we asked what time breakfast was in the morning, the manager replied "Its not". So in the morning we had to go and get a sausage roll from the village shop for breakfast. So quite a few issues but we would have been less put out had the manager been less hostile.

We arrived soaking wet and were welcomed very warmly by landlord Andy who took our wet clothes for drying and us to our warm and comfortable room, where our bags had already been taken. He continued to be very available and helpful for all the stay and even donated money towards the cancer charity I was raising money for. All the staff were friendly and accommodating and the whole place had a great feeling and ambience. The food was great pub hearty fare and good value. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. I would highly recommend!

Party of 6 walkers doing the Coast to Coast Walk. Really excellent stop off, very highly recommended. Good food, excellent beer and hosts who care about looking after you. Drying facilities really useful.

The publican was very friendly and helpful. The locals were chatty. Meals looked nice. We spoke to people who stayed in a room (was fully booked so no dice for us 😀) and they loved the room and breakfast. Reasonable beer prices too 😀. The place had a very nice welcoming feel about it.

The George Hotel provided a comfortable bed, nice hot shower, and good food. The lovely couple running the hotel and bar/restaurant were very engaging and allowed us an early check-in which we appreciated after a long day of hiking. It's a great place to chat with both the locals and Coast 2 Coast walkers.

3rd stay at this great pub run so well by Bronagh and Andy - great beer, food, and atmosphere and a lovely large room for me and my son. Bronagh made my packed lunch for me - her chicken and cheese sandwich is wonderful! They may retire this year - I hope the next managers can run it as well as these two folk!! 😀

Attentive hosts, amazing food, had breakfast & dinner both days. Even an option to have sandwiches made for lunch which we also did. Comfy bed, excellent stay! Highly recommend Also great location, close by to Penrith, Kendal, Windermere etc. Had an amazing birthday weekend here!

Just returned from 2 night stay at the George Hotel. Bronagh and Andy are excellent hosts. They are friendly and welcoming.nothing is too much trouble for them. Our room was spacious,warm and very clean. Our breakfast was very good. On the first night I ordered fish pie for dinner and husband ordered the meat pie we both fully enjoyed our meals. The next day we had lunch out as we were exploring the lake district, so we just had a pizza between us in the bar that evening, we thoroughly enjoyed it. The bar is a friendly place to enjoy a relaxing drink.
