The George Hotel, established on its current site since 1620, offers a rich tapestry of history intertwined with the quaint charm of its earlier incarnation as the ‘George Ale House’ dating back to 1462. This hotel not only provides a peaceful retreat from the urban rush but also serves as a gateway to the intriguing Romney Marsh area, often referred to as The Fifth Quarter. The locale is steeped in artistic and literary history, notably inspiring the Doctor Syn stories by Russell Thorndyke, and continues to be a muse for creatives drawn to nearby Dungeness.
Guests at The George Hotel can indulge in a variety of activities, from exploring the natural beauty of the RSPB bird reserve and enjoying scenic trips on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, to discovering historical sites like the old Dungeness lighthouse. The area’s flat terrain makes it ideal for walking and cycling enthusiasts. The hotel itself promises a warm welcome with options to relax with a drink, savour a meal, or enjoy live music, ensuring a comfortable and engaging stay for all who visit.
