Advantages: Good food, pleasant staff and good prices
Disadvantages: the ghostly feeling

...Whilst visiting friends in Lydd in Kent, we stayed at "The George hotel" a large hotel built in a very small town. When we went to the hotel, you can feel the characteristics and you can see some original features, we paid before we took our luggage up and the prices to stay for a double room is £45.00, a single room is £25.00, win is £45.00 and a room for a family of 3/4 is £55/£60. You can also have the choice to have breakfast there which was from £3.50 - £6.95 and of course you can't stay at a hotel without having there fry up!! The staff showed us our way up to our room, the place felt very strange and weird.

We had a double bedroom with a TV and DVD player, tea and coffee... Read review

Advantages: On The Beach Front.
Disadvantages: Can not predict the weather.

...The George Hotel is the equivilent of The Dorchester in London. The atmosphere is great. The food in the Dining Room is excellent, so do try it if you get the chance. The Brassery is also very good. The staff can not do enough for their guests. Anybody visiting the I sle of Wight should just go for lunch if they can not stay in the hotel. We were lucky enough to have breakfast deliviered on the balcony of our room. The waiter visited us as often as he would have done, had we been in the Brassery. The quantity and quality of the food is second to none.All rooms are well presented and clean, try to get a balcony room if you can.... Read review
