The George Hotel

Verified Listing

We've both stayed and eaten at The George Hotel, and it's definitely one of the nicest spots on the Isle of Wight. We stayed in one of their ground floor rooms with a private garden terrace, which was absolutely ideal with a dog as it was fully enclosed. However, you do pay a premium for it, as it's certainly not a cheap room. The private terrace really is special. It's a lovely sun trap and the perfect place to sit with a coffee on a summer's morning. The bedroom was spacious, with lovely traditional interiors, although the bathroom could benefit from a little updating. On arrival, there was a dog bed, bowls and treats waiting for the dogs. Breakfast was one of the best we've had, both in terms of the quality of the food and the beautiful setting overlooking the sea. There's an à la carte menu with proper coffees, alongside a buffet offering fresh fruit, juices and pastries. I have to say, it was one of the freshest fruit selections I've come across at a hotel breakfast! We've also eaten dinner here on several occasions, both indoors and outside on the terrace. The outdoor terrace is absolutely stunning, with a really lovely atmosphere, especially in the summer. The menu certainly isn't cheap, and although the food is good, I do think the setting is a big part of what makes dining here so special. It's also a fantastic spot to visit for a glass of wine or cocktails on a sunny afternoon. Overall, The George is somewhere I'd happily return to, particularly in the summer when you can make the most of those gorgeous outdoor spaces.
