Friendly and helpful staff.Great location for exploring.
paulUnited KingdomBeautiful hotel in the centre of town
Fantastic location
My room was on the small size and at the time the weather was stifling which impacted my sleep. The fan proved didn’t help much.
LeighUnited KingdomGreat old hotel in heart of Oakham, not for hot summers though
Excellent location, large car park
Bedrooms unbearable when hot as old building, small windows and no AC

RoystonBlueUnited KingdomHave stayed twice now and will almost certainly stay again.
Very friendly staff, and the location is ideal right in the centre of town. Generous breakfast and comfy lounge bar area.
Car park can get a little congested and there is building work going on resulting in some daytime…
AnneUnited KingdomEnjoyable. Lovely supper main course. Friendly staff.
I would have liked to have shampoo in the bathroom . I havd always found it in any hotel or guest house I have been to.

What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about The George Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at The George Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The George Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The George Inn?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The George Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at The George Inn?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does The George Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The George Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
Where is The George Inn?
The Market Place, Oakham.
