No Weight LimitThe George Inn Dog Friendly Review
The George Inn holds an acceptable C Roch Rank. Most rooms take dogs, and yours is welcome in the bar, the restaurant, the lounge and the garden, so it is with you for the evening. There is no weight limit, dogs stay free, and the inn puts out free treats.
There is no dog bed, toys or poo bags, no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not been trained for canine guests. Dogs cannot be left alone in the room, so an evening out is one your dog joins, though green spaces and parks are close by.
This is an acceptable stay for an owner who wants a free welcome with the full run of the pub and keeps the dog with them, and who is happy to pack the kit. A warm village inn for a dog of any size.
