History
The George Hotel, a 16th Century Coaching Inn, is set in the very centre of this pretty, historic market town.
The hotel is believed to have been the Dower House to the castle, the remains of which can still be seen to the rear of the hotel. The George has many stories to tell. Dick Turpin, the famous highwayman, is believed to have escaped the law on many occasions from his room above the courtyard. The legend of the Teardrop Room is a mixture of fact and circumstance.
Whilst retaining much of its original character, The George has been sympathetically extended, and now provides every modern facility for the business and leisure traveller in 39 attractively decorated rooms.
