The room was freezing! The heating only came on for a couple of hours. The room was ok comfy bedding, not worth £175 though. The shower made a squealing noise and the bath tap dripped all night. Breakfast alright (beans were cold). The staff at the bar and restaurant were commendable.

We have just had a 2 night stay with dinner on one night at the George and Dragon. We found the room very nice, clean and well equipped. The food was good for dinner. Good menu and good portions. My only criticism was the waiter we had could have known more of the bar listing as could only think of 2 gins and 2 beers on the bar but that is a minor thing. Breakfast was tasty.

Genuinely terrible restaurant. If you care about food, do not eat here. If you’re expecting Grace Dent’s experience you won’t find it. Expensive and inept. Neither kitchen nor serving staff have any idea what they’re doing. Loads of menu items missing, soggy, fatty “soufflé”, overcooked fish, undercooked sausages, flimsy bread, awful wine, dirty glasses, zero atmosphere and an owner who would do well to reflect on his brand of humour. Genuinely avoid. I never write reviews but there is such a gulf between some of the big name reviews out there (had they hired a different chef for their visits, there’s definitely no scallops or goujeres on the menu!) that I was compelled to do it.

Nice accomodation. Would have dinner elsewhere
Accomodation fine. Welcome greeting factual but short on personality. Evening meal menu was short on options and tried to be too 'modern and trendy' for my taste. Steak at evening meal was cold and served on cold plate. Bacon at breakfast was over cooked and appeared to have been prepared early and 'kept warm'. Would stay again if visiting area but would give evening meal a miss and find restaurant in town instead!

Absolutely fabulous in every way!
Staff, service, room, attention to detail, ambience and food were beyond first class! Interior design was truly inspirational and coordinated to perfection!
Cannot recommend The George and Dragon Clifton highly enough. Back very soon!
