GENERAL INFORMATION

THE BUSINESS

The George Inn is a unique 17th Century Exmoor Inn, which has all the basic ingredients of a typical English Inn – open log fires, beamed ceilings and plenty of character. The Inn is traditional in every sense and has not lost any of its original charm, being totally unspoilt throughout.

The George Inn has been the bolt hole of the local community and village, with trade being boosted by visitors who come throughout the year, particularly in the summer months.
