The George Hotel in South Oxfordshire

Good service. Good variety of drinks. Staff were friendly. Considering they were dealing with two very drunken customers. We only used the bar 🍻.

Witnessed the manager tonight being really aggressive tonight towards a customer which is pretty concerning, the manager appeared drunk. I hope that they can sort the staffing issues out, I used to really like this pub

Bloomin’ fantastic. Slotted me in on a very busy night. Epic pie and chips. Thank you so much!

What should have been a memorable celebration at a historic local establishment turned into a deeply disappointing experience at The George Hotel in Dorchester-on-Thames. As longtime residents of the area for over 30 years, our family chose this venue for my father's 65th birthday dinner, only to encounter service that fell far below the standards expected of this renowned establishment. From the moment we arrived, the service was notably poor. After waiting several minutes, we were greeted by a staff member whose demeanor was unwelcoming. When my sister noticed a birthday promotion leaflet and inquired about it, the staff member dismissed us with an unnecessarily sarcastic comment about people "suddenly realizing it's their birthday," despite our genuine celebration. The situation deteriorated further when I received my starter, a crispy cauliflower dish, which contained a hair embedded in the batter. Upon returning the dish, the same staff member brought back what he claimed was "a fresh one," but it was clearly the same cold dish with the hair still visible. When I brought this to our waitress's attention (who was, notably, very professional and apologetic), the male staff member confronted me in front of other diners, raising his voice and questioning my integrity regarding the hair in the food. While our waitress was exemplary in her service and apologetic for the situation, this unfortunate interaction with the male staff member (who we later learned is named Hanni) completely ruined what should have been a joyous family celebration. The aggressive and unprofessional manner in which he handled a simple customer service issue was unacceptable for an establishment of this caliber. While The George Hotel holds a special place in our local community's landscape, this experience has unfortunately tarnished its reputation in our eyes. Until management addresses these fundamental service and training issues, particularly in handling customer concerns with professionalism and respect, I cannot recommend this establishment for special occasions or regular dining.

We came for a birthday celebration. Excellent atmosphere; great, friendly service and wonderful food. Definitely would come again I we’re ever nearby.

Great Sunday roast dinner - highly recommended!

excellent pub and hotel in really charming village. pub is an old coaching house from bygone days, with plenty of history and charm. filming location of poirot and midsummer murders. the hotel is really good, nice modern cosy rooms and really good service.

Lots of parking round the back and easy for wheelchair both parking and getting into the building

The George Hotel is an absolutely stunning building with so many little and big things that make the whole stay a wonderful experience. Each room is individually themed such as the James Bond room and the Midsomer Murder room. I stayed in a room dedicated to the British rowers who train locally. The room was very clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable with a variety of pillows to choose from. There was also a Nespresso machine, instant coffee, good biscuits and bottled water available in the room. I could not resist having a bath with the duck provided, a lovely touch! Hot breakfast the next day was cooked to order so in the interim a visit the buffet area offered croissants, cereals, yogurts, fruit etc. The fruit salad had beautiful small bites of watermelon in it, which was so refreshing. The cooked breakfast arrived quickly after, and was presented beautifully. The spinach was wilted perfectly, and not at all watery. The vegan black pudding was surprisingly very good. The vegan sausage was also delicious. From me, the whole experience was super apart from the public toilets in the restaurant area. They really do need a deep clean. It is a shame that the overall attention to detail that is so obvious across the hotel seems to be lacking in this one area.

Charming hotel a stone's throw from unlivable Oxford. Historic building, traditional and refined setting with modern touches (the gin courtyard); vintage room, a nice country pub attached, interesting restaurant (limited menu, but it's still old England...). Really nice, we'll be back

Room very small door not open perfectly because hit the bed. Bathroom heater not work and there is very cold. Bed comfy and pillows 50/50 not bad. You can order on menu for breakfast this is good and delicious. Decorations very nice. And very clean. Only they gave to us most small room maybe in hotel 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe because stayed 1 night.

Stayed here with work earlier in the year and it was brilliant! Staff were super friendly, the room was immaculately clean, bonus point for the rubber duck in the shower! Bar team were lovely, really faultless service. Will be heading back!

A lovely place in a lovely place. Friendly and welcoming staff. Great food and drink. Lovely atmosphere and decoration. A real gem for anyone visiting Dorchester

A really nice hotel, friendly staff and really lovely rooms. Worth the money and in a great little village.

Beautifully done out rooms, a really nice place to stay. Bar and restaurant is good too, handily located for access to Wallingford or Oxford

Food very good and reasonably priced, staff very pleasant but service a bit slow. Lots of parking. Would definitely return.

Cannot say on rooms ,,veggie roast very nice, the beef also,nice staff helpful and quick.
