    Warm and friendly staff; a very stylish interior and old world charm make one feel spoilt.

    Everything was so lovely, just one strange inconvenience. The studio bedroom's ceiling lights and both bedside lamps were on a single light switch at the door. You have to get out of bed to switch bed lamps off; there is no option for one guest to read in bed, and another to sleep, as both bed lamps have to be either on or off. We stayed for one night; more nights and this would have been very annoying.

    We loved the stylish interior - all the way from reception, to the bar, through communal areas and to our cosy studio unit. The bedroom and lounge are conveniently separate. The kitchenette is just perfect with a small fridge and tea/coffee making facilities, and everything you need if you prefer to have room service in your studio. The view from the veranda/passage along the front doors is pleasantly green. There are beautiful trees and plenty of birdlife. But what we loved most as exhausted travellers, was the fact that we did not have to drive to a restaurant. We dined at the hotel's restaurant, and were happy with the menu - we eat free-range meat or vegetarian cuisine only.

    Hidden Gem of a boutique hotel

    The main building is rather stunning, with beautiful gardens and a great swimming pool to match. The dining area was first class with a beautiful view of the gardens. There is a wonderful reading room and a very fancy bar area too. Upon arrival we enjoyed the hotel and grounds so much, we simply stayed there till we left the next morning. Absolute gem of a boutique hotel. highly recommended!

    This was a lovely hotel, beautifully renovated with friendly very helpful staff. Our original room was lovely, but over looked the car park. The staff were very helpful finding us a room with a better outlook, which turned out to be a cheaper and overlooked the pool. The restaurant had a good menu and the food was tasty and well cooked

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    The Hawthorn is a beautiful gem. We loved the way they incorporated modern and old decor. it is very tastefully done. The gardens are beautiful and well kept. Although the hotel is in a neighbourhood, it felt like you're far away from everything. I would love to stay there again. We also loved the restaurant on site.

    Beds or mattresses were very firm / hard and not so comfortable. Some rooms don’t have bathroom doors which is a No !

    Decor, gardens and food was amazing not to mention the lovely staff !! Certainly a place to stay when you’re in George it’s an absolute delight !
