The George

The location of this family-run pub with rooms is perfect; it’s in the middle of what feels like nowhere and is  surrounded by gorgeous greenery. In reality, you’re actually a mere stiletto’s throw from the buzzing town of Market Harborough but this doesn’t detract from the wonderful bucolic atmosphere.

Run by Stephen and Tracy Fitzpatrick, who also own The Joiners Arms in Lutterworth, this pub/restaurant is spot on when it comes to modern, stylish decor.

The 16th century inn, which also has four boutique rooms, reopened a few years ago following a massive revamp that replaced the dark, tired snugs into the modern pub/restaurant it is today.
