Couldn’t do enough for you Nothing
- Jane (9/5): - Great stay, amazing shower, breakfast excellent and delicious locally brewed beer. Would recommend Nothing!
- Roger (10/5): - Our first stay, although we have visited for food many times. Room was spacious, immaculately clean, with good facilities. Staff were super friendly. Nothing to say here.
- Daniil (10/5): -
- Rick (10/5): The most enjoyable two day stay we have had for a long time......perfect! - Fantastic breakfast and dinner with huge portions.
Room with great views overlooking the sea.
Staff super lovely, friendly and always helpful.
- Jean (7/5): -
- Lynne (10/5): Comfortable stay in great location in West Bay. - The breakfast was excellent. Very generous fruit & yoghurt to start with granola & other cereals. Freshly cooked breakfast from a decent choice. Also very good.
Great location, right in centre of West Bay. Nothing really. It was fairly represented.
- John (10/5): Fabulous time at The George 🤩 - The location was fantastic and view from our room over the harbour was amazing.
The staff were so welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble and we ate two nights and the food was fantastic.
This was our second stay both times for our anniversary and both times were amazing and had so much fun.
Booked again whilst there and very much looking forward to seeing you all again soon.
Thank you for a wonderful time! Nothing
- Clara (7/5): - Great location. From our room we were able to see the harbour and sea! Pub food was excellent. Cleanliness.. all the dishes were pretty dirty with stains on the glasses and dishes that you even could scrap of..
- Ana (9/5): Second stay at The George and won't be the last, highly recommend. - We had an extra interlocking room at no charge.
Very clean and modern.
Great view
Powerful shower with plenty of toiletries provided
Fabulous breakfast, probably one of the best we've had
Very friendly staff Mattress could do with updating

- darren (10/5): - fantastic staff, lovely spacious room, nice food, great atmosphere, nothing was to much trouble nothing
- Gloria (10/5): Great position in West Bay with very nice room. - Right in the middle of West Bay, close to bus stop and with terrace next to the river. Nice room with good shower. Arrived for breakfast just after they had finished serving as we got times wrong but still allowed us to have it, and it was a huge full English. Breakfast can do with finishing later,but I understand they have got to get pub ready for lunches etc.
- Gloria (10/5): Good position with very nice rooms and a good breakfast. - In great position in West Bay, staff all friendly. Room was lovely,tea/coffee biscuits in room as well as bottled water. Lots of storage, very nice bathroom with nice toiletries. Very good breakfast too Very steep staircases to rooms, not suitable for less mobile!
- Catherine (10/5): Great place to stay - Very friendly staff, great location, spacious room and lovely shower, excellent evening meal (though portions were massive) and very good breakfast.
Very good value for money. No complaints
- NATACHA (9/5): Seaside typical English, with a nice and relax feel - Breakfast amazing
Staff most helpful and dedicated
View
Right in the centre good starting point for walks too
- Rachael (8/5): -
- Jackie (9/5): Good place to stay in West Bay. - The property was in a good location and had a car park for guests. Furnished rooms were large, clean and fresh with tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, bottled water and toiletries in the bathroom. The bed was large with good linen and 2 pillows each plus cushions. Breakfasts were very good and it was no problem adapting them for dietary needs.
The pub/restaurant menu has lots to choose from and the meals are very good. Unfortunately we found the bed to be uncomfortable for us.
Seagulls in the area deposited onto cars whilst flying over. The staff were helpful as they let us have a jug of water and some blue roll to clean the windscreen.
- Barbara (10/5): - All of it. They were all lovely and treated us very well
- Peter (8/5): - Good for walking, on a coastal path, Nothing, everything was perfect
- Kay (10/5): Great place to stay and unwind. Everything you could want for a relaxing holiday - Breakfast excellent. Roomimmaculate. Dinner exceptional. Staff, attentive, friend,y and welcoming Would have liked to stay longer
- Sandra (8/5): A lovely short break away with lots of places to see and great walks - Excellent location and lovely view from bedroom window The mattresses were a bit hard and lumpy, maybe new ones needed
- sian (10/5): Great place to stay location perfect. Staff were so friendly and helpful and food fabulous - Great location friendly staff
- Craig (7/5): Good overnighter - Location, free car park Mattresses in both rooms had seen better days
- Deborah (8/5): Very happy with our visit to West Bay . The George works hard to look after its customers. - Lovely room with great view, very nicely furnished, and comfortable bed etc. Staff friendly and helpful, excellent breakfast and we enjoyed our evening meal. We were very fortunate with the weather and very much enjoyed our stay.
- christopher (10/5): the hotel meet and exceeded our expectations and would go back again without question - Rooms were clean and comfortable, bathroom clean and a very good shower.
Staff very hospitable and helpful
The restaurant and food excellent and good value , and breakfast was excellent seagulls crapping on car
- Karen (10/5): - The George was very clean and the staff were very welcoming, we loved our stay and would definitely return Liked everything
- David (9/5): Delightful hotel and pub with great staff - Perfect location with an excellent sea view room. Friendly, fun and attentive staff. Only that they should keep the fire lit downstairs to really give the place ambience. Otherwise brilliant place.
- paul (9/5): -
- Graham (8/5): A great place for a long weekend break - A perfect location with excellent and well-trained and attentive staff. We enjoyed the breakfasts ( we didn’t have a chance to try other mealtimes on this holiday) Could be a bit noisy ( it is a pub in a seaside town after all) and some of it was a little bit run down ( though that was part of the charm of the place perhaps?)
- Julie (8/5): Lovely location needs TLC - Location was lovely. Lovely supply of toiletries and coffee and tea making supplies. Strong smell of food coming in through window, shower was cracked and room looked a little tired. Confusion with trying to charge us for food when we had not eaten there. Small things
- Josephine (10/5): Wonderful stay will definitely book again for next year - The room was lovely and clean and all staff were helpful and friendly Everything was good
- Michael (8/5): Good location, nice room, friendly and helpful people, good food. - The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpfull. The breakfast was excellent quality with generious portions. Can't comment on dinner as we ate elsewhere due to other commitments but the menu looked good. No long mirror in the room. The bathroom mirror was too high (we are short 1.6m - 5'2") No shelving or hooks in the shower cubicle to put gel, shampoo, sponge or flannel etc on.
- Ali (7/5): - Friendly staff very helpful . We enjoyed our stay.
- Sonya (10/5): A lovely seaside stop for 1 night. - Cute and in the middle of everything! Great location and delicious food! Nothing! :)
- Milly (6/5): Down at heel - Good location for walking and exploring West Bay. This was once the principal inn in West Bay with its prominent position in the harbour and yet it feels very unloved and down at heel. No heating or real fire on early evening and cheap chairs and tables propped up with beer mats.
Breakfast the next day was poor - poached eggs like bullets tasting of vinegar. The landlady wandering around with an armful of her personal laundry. Cleaning products left on the bar.
Before arrival we were messaged about opening hours but it would have been nicer to have added a note about where we could park rather than having to move the car from the parking in front of the pub.
For £125 odd this is poor value.
- Paolo (8/5): - Posizione e colazione ottimi Materassi piuttosto scomodi, da rinnovare
- William Mitchinson (10/5): Good hotel - Room 4 .lovely... 4 poster bed and sea view.
Very nice breakfast and dinner... Slightly doggy whify, but this is a great hotel for walkers.
- MARTIN (10/5): Once on the nicest place I've stayed in recently. Food is outstanding. - Large room, 4 poster bed and a bay window with views over the harbour. Just a lovely place to stay. Not sure how they do it for the price, a super breakfast wast included.
- michael (10/5): -
- Kym (10/5): - Very clean staff friendly
- Phil (7/5): The hotel feels very much a pub with rooms above which is fine if that’s what you prefer. - Breakfast exceptional, staff great. The room didn’t come our expectations and was tired and needs attention. Disappointed room not fully serviced between the days we stayed
- Andrew (10/5): Wonderful staff, excellent food, couldn’t fault it - Location Nothing
- Vanessa (9/5): Brilliant- will definitely be back!! - Excellent location with fabulous views. Wonderful staff and a great family atmosphere- warm and welcoming at all times. Food was really good! Mattress a bit lumpy- could do with replacing! Cold draft from windows
- Sharon (8/5): Very enjoyable. - The room was very clean and spacious. Breakfast was exceptional, so much choice. Full english was cooked to perfection! I didn't not like it..but one of the male staff members was wearing very casual shorts serving lunch..it was a cold day.
- simon (9/5): Very nice room great bar lovely breakfast - Very friendly.
- richard (10/5): Great stay. - We had a lovely view overlooking the harbour. The room was very clean and spacious. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was very tasty. If we head to West Bay again we would definitely consider staying at The George.
- John (8/5): a nice change - Very friendly staff, easy parking, good wi-fi, plenty to eat at breakfast, convenient bus stop just outside the door, good proximity to the beach and to the coastal path, also to gift shop and cafes. The room was cold. The one radiator was not enough.

- Jennifer (8/5): - We stayed in the room with the four poster bed. The room had a view out across the harbour. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent.
- Christopher (10/5): - Food was amazing. Excellent quality and great portions.
- Charlotte (10/5): -
- Rachel (9/5): Great friendly hotel - Booked for my parents and apparently the best breakfast ever.. we joined them for dinner and the food was great! Great parking Not their fault but mum and dad were at the top of the hotel. I should have mentioned her mobility issues but they coped.
- Irina (10/5): - I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, and the service felt very personal. The location is excellent. My room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The food was delicious and nicely presented. Overall, a wonderful experience — I couldn’t have asked for better hospitality. Highly recommended!
- Karen (10/5): Had a lovely weekend , staff and food excellent - Liked it all Nothing
- Paul (9/5): Classic pub accommodation on waterfront. - A very nice old pub on the waterfront. Comfortable room and good en-suite bathroom. Very good breakfast. Parking available. Nothing of note. Stairs and general state of building as expected in a building of this age.
- Jennifer (10/5): A happy comfortable stay with good food and drinks and lovely approachable staff - Cooked to order breakfast.
Friendly, enthusiastic staff
Location
Atmosphere Nothing
- A&M K. (9/5): Ein Aufenthalt lohnt sich - Wir hatten ein nettes, sauberes Zimmer mit schönen Blick auf den Hafen, wirklich das beste full English Breakfast von 14 Tagen Aufenthalt in England und sehr nettes und freundliches Personal. Die Lage ist hervorragend.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - The George is ideally located in the center of town near to a bus stop. Everything about our stay was wonderful; a large en-suite room beautifully decorated with large bathroom. We ate dinner at the George day of arrival which was delicious and breakfast was fabulous. I highly recommend the George.
- Lauren (6/5): It was too windy (and rainy) to really enjoy the outdoors, or the beach. The breakfast is great! - The staff were all lovely. Really good breakfast! Parking! A second chair in the room and a small table would have been great. A luggage rack or two would be helpful as well. Lots of stairs, but knew that going in-an old building. No refrigerator.
- David (10/5): - The staff were extremely accommodating and helpful. The room and bathroom was clean and well decorated. And, breakfast was phenomenal.
- Alan (9/5): Loved The George. Will recommend to friends - The food at The George is excellent
Breakfast was very good - loved the bowl of fresh fruits with yogurt that came to the table while you were making your mind up between a cooked breakfast or warm croissants I honestly can’t think of anything
Couldn’t fault The George
Only small criticism is the extremely narrow passageway to our room
- Peter (9/5): impressive - dinner table reservations
- Marta (9/5): - La ubicación y el desayuno Nada que no me gustara
- Julie (9/5): Great place to stay. - Friendly staff. Good food. Large clean room with a great view. Nothing.
- Stephen (10/5): -
- Kay (10/5): One not to be missed - Our second visit and still an excellent place to stay. Everyone is friendly and they all go the extra mile to make sure your stay is enjoyable. Breakfast always exceeds expectations and sets you up for the day. It’s always a busy pub but everyone makes sure you are welcome. We had our evening meals there. Lovely fresh produce, tasty, well presented and always enough to fill you. We will certainly be returning yet again,
- David (8/5): Great value for money - Location Bit tired but comfortable

- Gillian (9/5): Lovely relaxing night away in a lovely location. - Lovely location, great staff, food was good.
- Paul (10/5): Would fully recomment - Excellent location right in the centre of the town - everything within walking distance but still had private parking. Large room with great shower plus coffee making facilities. Breakfast was very good served by friendly helpful staff as was check in and out. Would fully recomment and will return when next in the area. Nothing really - was very enjoyable stay.

- Thomas (8/5): -
- Keith (10/5): -
- Elena (8/5): Niente di che - Posizione e parcheggio interno gratuito Colazione dalle 8:30, troppo tardi per chi viaggia, e purtroppo non sono nemmeno molto veloci…
Al ristorante la sera abbiamo dovuto aspettare un’ora per ricevere i piatti…
- Alexandra (10/5): - We hadn't realised we'd booked something in West Bay, we thought we'd booked in Bridport, but the people in West bay were absolutely lovely and so friendly, and we found a great place to eat, so we were absolutely delighted with our little mini break. Thank you to all staff at the George pub, you were all fabulous and smiley and welcoming. We would recommend this place highly.

- Sebastian (9/5): -
- Graham (9/5): Lovely place to stay - Staff were friendly and inviting. The landlady was very helpful giving us an early breakfast as we had to be somewhere by a specific time which would have meant missing breakfast. Room was clean as was the bathroom. The meal in the restaurant in the evening was very good. Nothing
- Isabelle (7/5): Pleasant stay and great breakfast. - It is very well located and the breakfast was delicious. The bathroom needed more cleaning and the building is a bit worn out.
- Gary (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richard (9/5): Excellent place to stay in a great location - Great accommodation. Clean. Tidy. Room was good size with tea/coffee facilities in the room. Bottle of water supplied each day we were there. Great central location. Close to lots of other towns and attractions. Breakfast was included and was excellent. Nothing not to like
