The George Manor

This place just left us gobsmacked it’s just truly wonderful! Micheal is an absolute gem he’s such a lovely caring attentive gent…oh and an amazing chef! Thankyou Micheal for making our holiday truly special! Micheals wife was equally as lovely, really sorry can’t remember the other man’s name who helps out, he was really sweet.

We chose the George for our 25th anniversary this May and enjoyed our stay immensely. . Being history buffs, we prefer staying in the older structures, but stairs were not in the cards just now. We chose a ground floor suite mainly for accessibility so we missed staying in the actual manor. In any case, everything was clean, comfortable and in ship shape. The grounds are lovely and the porch massive and well appointed. Tired from the drive and other last minute activities, we slept in knowing we might miss the breakfast hour which we ultimately did. But the host (grounds keeper/chef and I believe all around man Friday),, Michael, was kind enough to fix us a splendid breakfast and he also took the time to visit with us. The visit to the house was quite worthwhile. Our only complaint is the sad dreary gray paint that has crept in. It's mainly a millennial greige-- and kind of depressing. But the structure is large enough and well lighted to mostly offset that bit of nonsense. (Millennials decorating for Millennials). White would have been a more authentic choice. But aside from the grayness, we enjoyed our visit very much. And we thank Michael for making us feel at home, in style.

Set in an historic district, close to the Strand. This is a great place. Full of character. And Graham George and his team do all they can to make you feel welcome. My first night coincided with the Houston storm and i fell in wet mud on the street. The team insisted on washing my wet and muddy clothes. That's going the extra mile. Graham is English which is why you get Heinz beans with the great American breakfast on offer. I enjoyed sitting with him watching the football. A memorable experience.

The staff are phenomenal. It was a quiet Sunday night and the moment I pulled up they were there to greet me and made me feel at home. I felt like I was visiting a friend on vacation. The food was amazing, rich and full of flavor. Best authentic Black Forest cake, I wanted more! Thank you for a beautiful relaxing evening. Great job! The building is old with great authentic character. I loved walking the grounds. Rooms have great amenities. I want to go back and stay longer.
