Quaint from the outside. Room small but clean and functional, very old and quirky with really uneven floors which I don't mind at all and for £40 for a quick stop over we didn't expect 5 star. So far so good, we went into the village and ahd a lovely meal, arrived back and there was an 18th party happening... More

Friendly staff and a nice local pub atmosphere. Free wifi everywhere. My room was small and clean and decor not too bad. Not much sound insulation so I could hear the main pub noise but that settled after 10 pm. Food average but tasty. It was what I expected. Kitchen rated by environmental health as 2 out of 5 -...

The rooms are above the pub and it is very 'harry potter-esque', in that the floors/doors/windows are very uneven but in a very nice quaint way. The room itself was of a good size with a small en-suite shower/toilet room. There were tea/coffee... More

I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a down to earth atmosphere. The location of The George & Horn is also great if you enjoy walks,... More

We arranged this hotel for a group stay of 13 people, spread over a number of rooms. Rooms were adequate and staff friendly. Accommodating to our specific wishes and helpful. All in all a good experience. Great quirky set up of an old English hotel-pub.

Great location set within watership down! The Manager Clare doing a great job! Breakfast was lovely, and there was plenty of choice for the evening meal. Locals were welcoming. Looking forward to visiting more in 2013!
