The combination of competitively priced rooms (including a delicious breakfast made with locally sourced, organic produce), a warm welcome from Andy, Wayne and dog Maggie and the location in the heart of Frome makes this a great choice if you're visiting the local area. Longleat Safari Park, Nunney Castle and the city of Bath are all nearby. They have free parking to the rear of the hotel and the place seems to have adapted to Covid-19 well. If you're expecting a 5 star 'Ritz' experience you will be disappointed as there is some chipped paint in the rooms and the dining room does get busy but remember - a double room is £50 p/night including brek! Our kids loved the place and Wayne was so fun to deal with - thanks!

We have just returned from an overnight stay at The George Hotel. We chose to stay here due to previous reviews and were certainly not disappointed. Andy leads a dedicated, friendly and hardworking team - I imagine that nothing would be too much trouble. We felt totally safe in these strange times due to them following Covid protocols to the letter. We observed regular sanitization and enforcement of masking wearing whilst not seated. Tables are well spaced out and social distancing is encouraged.
We had lunch, dinner and breakfast during our stay. The food was excellent with plenty of choice on the menu - traditional pub fayre presented well.
Our room was well presented and clean with quality products including biscuits and toiletries.
You can tell by the positive attitude of the staff that this is a well run establishment, and this comes from the top. The manager was visible at every meal, making sure that the operation was slick and that everyone was satisfied with their experience.
This is a period 400 year old building, and as such has it's own quirks and character which, in our opinion, add to the stay. Thank you, we would love to stay again in the future.

Stayed at this hotel for a overnight stay on our way to a weekend break in Exmouth. Despite Covid restrictions we found the staff incredibly friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us. We stayed in a superior room with a super king size bed and power shower. What more could we want. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could want or need. Breakfast was superb with a great full English, Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon or a vegetarian option. Couldn't believe all this for £92 per night for two!
We went into our much dearer hotel in Exmouth and wished we hadn't bothered. (See following review) Will definitely stay here again. Only word of warning is that the hotel is in the middle of town on a fairly busy road although we were told that much quieter rear and side rooms were available.

Just spent 4 nights in this lovely hotel. Bedrooms are very clean and comfortable, and although you can hear traffic noise in the rooms at the front, we still got a good nights sleep. Breakfast was delicious, plenty of cereals, juice, pastries, a full english and as much toast as you could eat! Special shout out to Vicky who looked after us every morning - did we convince you to put ‘gravy & chips’ on the menu haha. Bar is well stocked with plenty of different drinks. Parking is in an underground car park round the corner, quite tight getting in and out between the pillars but ok. Would definitely recommend this hotel and it’s location is great as a base for trips to Longleat, Hawk Convervancy, Cheddar Gorge and plenty more.

Really good value for the money. We had a standard double with breakfast (total of £55). Room was adequate, clean, with a very comfy bed, but only had single-glazed windows, so morning traffic noise was quite loud. Full cooked breakfast (including smoked salmon and scrambled eggs) included in the price was fantastic. Really friendly helpful staff, all masked up. All socially distanced tables.

This hotel, nestled in the beautiful town of Frome is an amazing place to stay.
I was here for the Frome Festival (Andy Fairweather Low at the Cheese & Grain) and the Monthly street market (the best I have seen in this country)
Sunday lunch was perfect, a carvery roast with plenty of everything and as it is a brewery owned hotel, I had a great pint of Wadworth 6X
The room was perfect, I actually had the four poster room and had the best nights sleep in a hotel bed for a long time.
The breakfast (included in the room price) was fantastic, coffee, yoghurt, juice, full English, croissants.
The staff were welcoming and friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
There is also a free undercover carpark which was ideal

Stayed in a single room on top floor. The room was clean, of a good size, with a generously sized, well appointed bathroom.
The breakfast was good, and service good throughout.
I was initially placed in a room with a noisy radiator, but the manager efficiently and obligingly found me an alternative upon my pointing this out.
Altogether a good experience, and good value for money.

Two of the bulbs had gone in the room and I waited in darkness whilst the (albeit friendly and helpful) member of staff, Wayne, came to my aid with replacement lightbulbs. Unable to rectify the ceiling light, he did at last provide me with two working bedside lights. The toilet flush was not working that well and by the time I left the loo was blocked and no water in the cistern at all. Not wanting to leave the cleaners with something unpleasant, I resorted in filling the waste bin with water to at least flush it. The bathroom in desperate need of modernisation, the shower had no thermostat. I was not tempted to use the bath as it just looked tired and old. The breakfast was served in the pub area and the table was very sticky. A thorough clean with hot soapy water followed by anti-bacterial spray and wipe should be standard after functioning as a bar on a busy Friday night. As it was hard enough to get the attention of the waiting staff (sadly no Wayne on duty) , it just seemed like too much to complain about the table. On leaving I reported the issue with the toilet, no apology, merely asked for the room number. I asked if I could leave my bags while I walked around the shops and was informed it was not possible with new guests checking in. Again, no apology or thank you for staying. Really not planning to visit again

We were excited to stay at The George as we were overnight seeing family in Frome. The Hotel itself is very nice to look at and is right in the centre of Frome, so everything is readily accessible.

Our room was deep in the labyrinth of this old fashioned hotel. As we have a little one, we had to take all of our things down small winding passageways up and down several flights of stairs. This hotel is not buggy friendly at all and has no other enterances for access. If you’re bringing a travel cot or folded buggy, it’s also going to be difficult.

Parking is free, but limited and first come first serve. It’s underground beneath the local cinema and is very cramped and hard to get into. They claim that it’s unlocked from opening hours, but it was padlocked the whole time we were there and the shutter you have to manually open is stiff and difficult to move by yourself. The code to the padlock is supplied by phone after booking (email if through a third party).

The room itself was a good size, double bed was clean and there were many amenities available: drinks and snacks. The bathroom was spacious, but very cold. The windows are old single glazed with plastic film coating to try and keep heat in. There was only one radiator in the room which on full didn’t keep the room warm at all with overnight temperatures below 0 degrees. We had to sleep in hoodies under the duvet and wrap pur little one up really warm.

The walls are paper thin as we found out at 1:30am when the other guests next door came in very drunk and loudly engaged in what sounded like a good time. We wouldn’t have minded if it hadn’t lasted over an hour. They politely stopped once we banged on the wall in frustration.

Breakfast was a little disappointing. The staff didn’t feel very accommodating, they gave the impression that they didn’t want to be there. When our food arrived, we found that the vegan breakfast was lacking. The toast had no butter whatsoever, no replacement for bacon and one kofta style sausage that didn’t taste very good. The size in comparison to my normal full English was a lot smaller. My meal wasn’t as bad, but still felt small for how much it costs.

All in all we were planning on staying later this month again, but now are reconsidering our booking.

We stayed two nights as a couple with a four year old son. We picked it as it was close to Longleat safari park (10 minute drive). I can’t recommend this hotel enough. We rarely visit the same place twice but there is no doubt we will be back to the George hotel. It was spotlessly clean and full of character. The beds were comfortable and it was QUIET! It was the euro championship football season when we visited and the manager made it clear that the TV in the bar will be on for the England games but the sound off. He did not want to encourage loud football fans to the bar. The bar closed at 10 and we were able to get a great night sleep with no noise whatsoever. We booked to eat in the evening and the food was great, service fast and well staffed. The waitress that served us was chatty and great with our son. The manager worked hard to make sure your stay was good and he was great company. We will be back!

Hi. Sorry about delay, just picked up your question. Yes the George is in a very central location, in fact the George hotel is one of the local pubs itself, there are lots of other pubs and resturant’s very nearby, some do music and quizzes, nice chinese up the hill opposite. They have also got a couple of ‘tap rooms’ which have a selection of craft ales, some of the shops are pretty quirky as well. Right outside hotel is main bus routes to Bath. Car park is a challenge to find and navigate, go up beside hotel turn right in front of cinema, car park is literally under cinema. If you have a large vehicle it might be difficult, standard car no problem with care. Neil
