Inside was still traditionally maintained but looked a little tired. The food in the italian restaurant next door was really tasty and surprisingly reasonably priced. The main bar area was quiet for a monday night, but there was a pianist in the corner and the atmosphere was really cosy, not to mention a good range of real ales that the barman informed me were all local. The room we stayed in was clean and tidy and the staff were all excellent, couldn't have asked for more.

There's everything from Mussels to sizzling skillets, pies and grills. Food here is all homemade and great value. Huge portions too. I had a mixed grill on my last visit which included steak, gammon, pork chop, lamb chop, sausage, black pudding, eggs, onion rings, Tomato, mushrooms, peas and their amazing homecut chips. £9.45. Bargain! My Other half had a burger (again) where he could choose 3 toppings from a list. Also served with chips and was around £6.50. Drinks are very reasonable and this place is a must if you're nearby. It's gaining a brilliant reputation and you'll need to book at the weekend.

Large bathroom with a great shower and accessories. We had a meal downstairs in Oscars restaurant which is very modern yet intimate and the food was more than excellent! When we told the manger that we had got engaged in our room he was very accommodating. We had one of the best meals we had had in a long time and service was impeccable. We had a few drinks in the public bar next door which was very homely and welcoming yet lively and we went to bed very happy and excited. The outdoor areas are excellent and well kept. Above all, I would recommend this hotel to anybody above any 'chain' hotel as the rooms are exceptional and the service is personal and attentive. My only problem is that they don't do weddings!

In September of 2006 I was visiting England with the purpose of attending the wedding of my friends…read moreAly and Helen. After a long train and car ride I found myself in a lovely village known as Eccleshall. The main part of the village is simply a intersection lined with small shops and homes. While I was standing there a absolutely beautiful 20's era Bentley drove by. Won't you know it was even green, my favorite color. While window shopping I came across a grand millennium clock. It had 4 faces with one pointed in each direction. It was slender and blue which made it stand out very well from the red brick buildings which lined the streets. I came to a window of what seemed to be a pet shop. In that window there was a big sign which read. 3 Chocolate Bitches, 3 Black Bitches, and 3 Black Dogs. Being American I chuckled a bit and moved on. I strolled across the street to the inn where I was staying. The George Inn is straight out of the past and very reminiscent of the Inn featured in the movie Three Weddings and a Funeral. It is a large white building with green trim. Window boxes filled with flowers hang just below the window ledges. A large sign indicated the restaurant side of this establishment. Lets go in shall we? When you step into The George you find a small reception desk where you check in and out. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful with whatever needs you may have. Don't be afraid to ask, they don't mind where you come from, even America. Just through a doorway you will find the restaurant. I only had breakfast here but it is definitely worth a go. The full breakfast was very nice indeed. Two eggs over medium, toast, bacon, puddings, and coffee. The most civilized breakfast a mere man could ever wish for. Across from the restaurant you will find the pub. This room is from another time and if you haven't been in an old pub you will just have to see it to believe it. Tables are available for groups but I preferred sitting at the bar with my mates. Here the owner and brewer will present you with something very special. Slaters is his own label of brew and here it's whatever your pleasure since the available range is extensive. From Lager to Stout, Slater's has it all and the quality is fantastic. bring your mates and your thirst, it will be a top night guaranteed. The rooms are what are to be expected in a country inn. Nothing fancy but the comforts of home. It is very nice that my room had a window because I like some circulation while I sleep. The bed is comfortable but don't expect pillow top comfort. Their is a private bath in the room, did the shared bath thing once and it was unpleasant to say the least. There is a wardrobe for your clothes if you don't like living out of your suitcase. I have done so much traveling so I rarely unpack unless I am going to be staying in one place for a while. So if you read my review and find yourself in Eccleshall stop into The George and stay for a pint, or two, or three, or aww just forget it and check in and make a night of it then.

The mini bar is on an order basis, so you are not tempted to raid it, and regret it later. The TV stations are a bit limited, given the four star status of the hotel. I didn't have an evening meal so cannot comment on that, but I did have breakfast which was played out like a Feydeau farce. I was forewarned to keep my request at breakfast simple. That is, if I wanted the standard cooked breakfast, keep it as it comes. Unfortunately, my colleague didn't have the benefit of this information. Although, before he arrived, I was presented with poached eggs on toast, which I hadn't ordered, it was for another table. This is where it seems to be bizarre, as each time a plate was brought out it was taken to the wrong table. Anyway, back to my colleague, who ordered: two poached eggs on brown toast, two slices of bacon, and a grilled tomato. What came out were two poached eggs, and three hash browns. No, said my colleague, and repeated his order again. Next to arrive were two poached eggs and two hash browns. No said my colleague, and repeated his order again. The original waiter returned, and apologised for the confusion, and asked him what he wanted to order and this was repeated again. Also, during this time he was asked twice what he wanted to drink, and if he wanted toast. Clearly they had felt a bit guilty as he was brought four pieces of toast, and against my two, and then he foraged for some spread, and marmalade. The plate arrives again. Success, one thinks.. Two poached eggs, and two slices of brown toast. No, said my colleague, where's my two slices of bacon, and my grilled tomato. The waitress apologies and disappears with the plate again. Moments later a different waiter comes out with a plate of two eggs on two slices of toast, two slices of bacon, and an un-grilled tomato. She proceeds to a different table, gets a negative response, and brings it to my colleague. Well, only one thing wrong, so he thought he would give in whilst he was ahead. In the meantime the eggs were cold, and cooked through to hard-boiled. I have to say my breakfast was a bit of slop, and the egg was over-cooked, but it was food to start the day, plus not often you can start with such a laugh. Whilst I stayed only this one night there was a party on for six formers (a prom); a huge crowd taking over the grounds, and it was great to see them enjoying themselves, and it didn't disturb me in my room. The next morning you wouldn't have known anyone had been there consuming copious amounts of alcohol. So would I recommend this place, yes, as long as you go armed with the above? I didn't use the leisure facilities, but I am led to believe that they are above average. Perhaps it might be worth going with an Eastern European phrase book. The staff are charming, and do try very hard to work out what you want.

There is an authentic rural feel here as the winding roads have restricted speeds and there are no street lights. The Well Barn courtyard is easily located off the main street and houses a diverse mix of shops including: a craft shop, a holistic therapy and well being store, Corinthian furniture and a plumbing company. The stableyard itself is often used s an event space for community gatherings such as the recent summer fete. It's a really beautiful area with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The Well Barn is easily accessed from Liverpool or Southport but retains the peace of the countryside.
