George Inn

A legendary pub located eight miles outside of Bath in the tiny village of Norton St. Philip, it's definitely one of those country pubs you go to on a first date to impress. Over 700 years old and built by the Carthusian Monks, it's officially the 3rd oldest continuously licensed drinking venue in the country. If you've had too much and cannot drive back home you can book a four poster room for the night – they're not cheap but they may just clinch you the deal on that first date –. With glorious food – traditional English –, a large selection of wines and real ales and a large garden to sit and watch the cricket in the summer, there's a fair chance you might submit to a big comfy bed to sleep it off.
