The Superior King Room in the annex does not allow dogs, while the Coach Room offers its own stone steps for direct outdoor access.

Pet-Friendly

Dogs receive a sausage at breakfast, and the Coach Room is particularly convenient for quick outdoor access. The hotel also provides earplugs in rooms near the road, though dogs may sense an additional presence in the historic buildings.

Location

The George Inn & Plaine is 22 km from Bath, with a bus stop directly outside the hotel for a £2 journey. Longleat Safari Park and Stonehenge are within easy driving distance, and the village of Norton St Philip offers a church with lunchtime concerts once a month. The beer garden at the rear provides views over the cricket field and the 14th-century church.

Historical Character

The building dates back to 1397 and the Plaine building across the road was built in the 16th century. The George Inn has been an inn for more than 600 years, and was reportedly used by Judge Jeffreys during the Monmouth Rebellion. Private dining rooms with original features are available for events, and the building has been sympathetically conserved by Butcombe Brewery.
