Four centuries on the High Street.

"A splendid example of England's rich coaching inn heritage."

The George Hotel has stood on Amesbury's High Street since 1560 — first as a staging post for travellers, merchants and mail coaches on the great west road, today as a warmly restored country inn.

Every oak beam, every crooked doorway, every worn flagstone tells a story. We've kept them all, and around them built something new: individually decorated rooms with modern comforts, a kitchen rooted in Wiltshire's larder, and a traditional ale bar where the fire is always lit.

Our kitchen builds its menus around the seasons and the produce of our neighbouring farms, makers and growers. Expect properly British cooking, done generously, in portions that suit a long walk on Salisbury Plain.

Beyond the restaurant, the old ale bar waits — oak beams, low ceilings, a crackling fire in the grate and a thoughtful rotation of cask ales from Wiltshire and the West Country.
