Win a Stay at the George Inn

One of Britain’s oldest taverns, this historic 14th-century Grade I-listed Tudor inn is set in the peaceful village of Norton St Philip, midway between Frome and Bath. It has recently had a full revamp and now combines original features – beamed ceilings, wood-panelled walls, stone fireplaces – with more contemporary touches.

The newly decorated rooms are split between the main building and The Plaine; some come with traditional four- posters and wood-carved beds. On sunny days, make a beeline for the beer garden, which has views of the village and church.

The inn is owned by the Butcombe Brewing Company (it’s worth checking out the Butcombe loyalty club for discounts and offers) so expect a good selection of craft beer, real ale and cider. Chef Aimie Harley has just been voted Pub Chef of the Year and together with the team, serves up an elevated take on hearty pub classics: Butcombe Gold beer battered haddock, burgers with maple and bacon relish, shoulder of Ston Easton lamb with devilled kidneys (there is a children’s menu, and Sunday roasts too). A brilliant base for walkers and anyone wanting to explore Somerset.
