This historic 14th-century, Grade I-listed Tudor inn is set in the peaceful village of Norton St Philip, midway between Frome and Bath. Having recently undergone a full makeover and preservation project, The George combines beautiful decoration and furnishings with many original features and antiques from the inn’s fascinating past – something which was recognised with its latest award, AA Inn of the Year 2025. With a history dating back to 1397, it is one of Britain’s oldest taverns and has 13 charming ensuite bedrooms.

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. The head chef was voted Pub Chef of the Year 2024 and together with the team, focuses on seasonal, locally sourced produce and exciting takes on pub classics. A perfect base to explore the village, Bath and the Somerset surroundings.

Competition closes on 19 March 2026.
