We stayed in the George & Dragon to hole up for a night's break between christmas and the new year. In these cold, foggy, still winters' days we did not plan on extensive sight seeing, though Long Melford has much to offer in this regard with its abundance of antique shops, opportunities for walking and cycling, and proximity to Melford & Kentwell Halls. Instead, we just wanted a cosy place to stay, ideally with character, and within a short walk of decent places to eat and drink. The George and Dragon was perfect. A smiling welcome, a massive family room to ourselves (room 6) with modern ensuite and large p shaped bath. A delicious, filling full English breakfast rounded our stay off. As a pub, not without competition in Long Melford, it wasn't half bad either. We'll definitely be back in the Spring.
