    Nothing. Great place.

    Gorgeous country inn in the perfect place for a break on the A303 on the way from London to the West Country. Great value for money.

    For vegetarians, would be good to have avocado on toast with eggs as an option.

    Breakfast was delicious. Fruit and yoghurt would have been nice. Better to be able to help yourself to tea and coffee because as it became busier, you didn't like to keep asking for refills. More choice of jams including marmalade. Would have preferred brown toast but not offered.

    Nothing we didn't like, may be evening meal could be served a little later when we've been out all day as we were but we made it back in time.

    Very happy with everything, good breakfast & meal in the evening. nice welcome on arrival.

    a little tired but hopefully will be given a new lease if life.

    Great historical building and a fantastic location and makes a great base for visiting the areas around Mere . The new landlord has 2 weeks in and built a great outlook plan for the future development and transformation if the pub

    It’s an old property and loved the “kookiness” the only down side was the noise travel as someone having a bath in adjacent room in the morning sounded like they were in the same room as me

    Very good place to stay with great new owner

    We always prefer a shower to a bath. Shower attachment to bath almost unusable as absence of shower curtain. Hot water took ages to come through.

    Room size and number of beds good for family - three of us... Included breakfast was great. Evening meal was good.

    Nothing to dislike.

    Wow what a building with loads of history which has maintained lots of the original features and located in a lovely village, the staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was very good with plenty of space, in our particular room it could of done with a dressing table or a bigger table which the TV and drink making area is but by no means a negative. The saturday steaknnight is well worth it, the meal was cooked to perfection, very nice and reasonably priced. Not a particular problem, probably to do with the solid walls of the old building is the WiFi was unstable in our particular room.

    nothing!

    The George Inn is extraordinarily historic and therefore fascinating. Its perfectly placed in the centre of the pretty well kept village of Mere which is interesting in itself. The staff made us feel very welcome and were attentive and kind. The food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed both dinner and breakfast.
