Located in the heart of Pangbourne, The George Hotel is a Tudor-style inn dating back to the 17th century.

The setting places guests just steps from the Thames Path and within a short walk of the local train station, providing direct links to central London in under an hour.
Facilities at this 3.7-rated property reflect a traditional inn atmosphere, featuring a welcoming bar known as The Village Bar, which receives positive feedback for its friendly staff, good beer selection, and sports coverage. While breakfast is available for a fee and parking is free, guests should note that the hotel does not offer air conditioning, a pool, or a fitness center. The property is smoke-free, pet- and kid-friendly, and places emphasis on a comfortable, informal stay rather than luxury.
Guest reviews often highlight the attentive service and the ambience of the bar and dining area, though some mention that the rooms can feel a little dated and vary in quality. Occasional issues like noise from the nearby railway or limited breakfast options due to local conditions have been reported but met with thoughtful responsiveness from staff. Overall, the hotel suits travelers looking for a historic location with a traditional pub experience rather than extensive modern amenities.
For those interested in local attractions, The George is well situated near destinations such as Basildon Park, Beale Wildlife Park, and Reading Museum, all within easy reach. Nearby airports including Heathrow and London Gatwick are accessible by car or public transit, adding to its appeal for guests arriving from further afield.

Had a lovely lunch at The George with a group of 11 ladies. We pre-ordered our sandwiches and everything was spot on — fantastic value, generous portions, and really tasty. The staff were so attentive and accommodating, happy to meet our requests and let us take our time. Couldn’t fault it — highly recommend!
Visited the bar several evenings running, as there was great football coverage. The bar was very comfortable and welcoming, warm, and the beer was great! Will definitely be visiting again.
We had a two night stay, thoroughly enjoyed both the hotel room and the wonderful bar.great food and service.the Halloween night was excellent will certainly be back at Christmas thank you everyone.pangbourne is a lovely place too
Came here for food but have stayed before for the night. The rooms are good. The food is very fairly priced for the standard of food. I bought my nan and sister here for lunch and the food was delightful. The service was five star. Definitely worth a visit it's a nice place
I was lucky as had room 15 with a four poster bed , have been told by colleagues that other rooms aren’t so great , food was lovely
We had a small but very adequate room. Clean and bright. Low water pressure, but very usable. The young lady that checked us in was delightful as a host and our waitress. She was also very accommodating about bringing us another bed cover and portable heater very quickly (the boiler wasn't working properly). We'd stay here again.
I had a comfortable stay. The location is great and convenient.
Nestled in the little town of Pangbourne, the George Hotel not only offers a cold pint and a great range of offerings for lunch, but they offer rooms too. The staff were welcoming and made you easily settle in for the rainy afternoon. Centrally located and easy to find.
Situated centre of town, a few minutes walk from the river. Right next to a railway, but they stop running quite early – around 10.30pm, so no problem. Nice rooms, perfectly clean, decorated very nicely, comfortable bed, lovely people running it, no faults at all. Breakfast just toast and cereal due to a local gas cut, so that wasn’t their fault and they gave a partial refund for that. Such nice people. I’d stay there again.
Stayed overnight on a cycle tour, friendly welcome during busy period as the England match was on! Rooms were fine, a bit tired though. Trains were loud in our room going past! Had a decent pub meal and a real ale. Restaurant wasn't opened in the morning so had breakfast at a really nice local cafe. Overall a handy stopover but the place is a wee bit tired looking.
A 5-minute walk from Pangbourne train station, where direct trains to central London take around 50 minutes, this historic Tudor-style hotel dates from the 17th century and is steps from the Thames Path.
