    The rooms were very small and outdated. Requires renovation and modernising. We did notice that renovation was being undertaken on the out side of the hotel, hopefully this would be continued internally.

    Evening meal was excellent and could recommend eating in the hotel.

    There was no breakfast. The room was very small with only the bed to sit on. The hotel was right on a very busy corner with lorry’s passing non stop from about 4 in the morning. We were expected to go in and out via the fire exit stairs when the pub was shut. There was a glass throwing fight just over the road from the pub.

    The staff were all very friendly and the food served was well cooked and well presented.

    I stayed with my sister as we used to live in Ashbourne, we thought it would be nice to come back and reminisce round Ashbourne again . The hotel is very dated and in need of a makeover , as it’s a shame as it’s in a really good place . The floors creek, the walls are in need of painting and the whole place probably could do with a complete renovation.

    It is situated in a very good location close to all amenities. In the middle of Ashbourne which is great .

    We didn’t sleep! 😴 Too warm Very noisy, patrons of the pub, late at night, shouting Bathroom very noisy too, weird & loud flush type sounds throughout the night No cocktails, but advertised all around the bar? Could do with titivating, decor a bit drab, no chair in the room, no wardrobe so not a suitable room for stays over one night Pretty basic Bathroom tiny and nowhere to hang a towel

    Location is a excellent and our window overlooked the market square and the Christmas tree 🎄🥰 All the staff were lovely, friendly and most helpful The food was good and lots of it!

    You may need to make allowances for this very old building. Hopefully they will have improved the bathroom facilities following my comments/suggestions to them. Things like a lack of towel rails and the shower could have been better.

    The staff were really helpful. Great location (if you are able to park). The atmosphere in the bar and food were excellent.

    The rooms are functional (nearer to hostel quality than hotel) and good for a night's sleep; but it feels over-priced .... time for new (clean) carpets and attention to redecoration in the bathroom.

    A warm welcome and good plentiful food available at the bar, in a convenient town centre location.

    Having stayed at this property a couple times (approx 2018 & 2019) it doesn’t seem to have had any basic maintenance since.. a fresh coat of paint would make such a difference. Also the pub itself used to have a great choice of modern and traditional cask ales, which didn’t seem to be the case anymore.

    Location great and good price

    Parking.

    Staff were really friendly welcoming. Room was clean and comfortable. I stayed for 2 days, and the Parking was a pain as you had to update it every 2 hours at a rate of £2.50, although from 6pm - 8am was only £1. Would rather have paid a flat fee for the whole visit and not have to keep remembering to up date the parking. I know this is not a fault of the George n Dragon, I would definitely visit again.
