We returned to the George while visiting family in the village. it's a great period pub.
Paul, Trish, Huckleberry and the rest of the staff made us feel as welcome as ever. Breakfasts were brilliant. I'm sure we will be back soon.

This 16th century free house, restaurant and inn is a bit off the beaten track unless you are familiar with Somerset and visit Exmoor regularly. In fact, if you're a local, this is probably 'your pub' because the beer choices are great and the food honest and hearty! But for a pair of wandering tourists, it was literally a breath of fresh air! Our bedroom looked out over the village and fields and the views were simply stunning. The George is delightfully rustic (our bedroom is reputed to be haunted by a ghost) but we loved the whole ambience, sagging, creaky floors and all. Paul and Trish were fantastic hosts - jovial, chatty, and knowledgeable and they made us feel not only very welcome, but also let us feel that we were a part of their community. If we'd stayed longer, I like to think my husband might have snagged a spot on one of the local Skittle teams!
We know the pub & area as my brother lived in Brompton Regis 10yrs ago, we had to visit the village recently for a family anniversary and although the pub has changed hands, it's still a great place, Paul & Trish are superb hosts and June the chef cooks like your mum does/did, I can highly recommend the lamb pie.
Rooms are comfortable, breakfast buffet was plentiful, I'm sure tripadvisor readers can imagine the pleasure from slicing your own bread from an Exmoor crusty loaf for toasting, then covering it in dark Exmoor marmalade with rum, was a great end to the first meal of the day.
Pick an evening when Ken, Barry & Martin are propping up the bar and you'll hear many local stories including some of a Lancastrian who became an unexpected part of the community.
Great place, great atmosphere and a great part of the British Isles, if you want peace and quiet, a place where your office can't reach you and where your Blackberry won't beep at you, you could do worse than spend a few days in this sleepy little hamlet.
What a warm and friendly place to stay especially if you have a dog. Everywhere spotlessly clean. The breakfast was great and the hosts made us feel like long lost friends. All the other guests were relaxed and friendly as were the locals using the bar. Fantastic cask ales served. A great place to unwind and we would definately go back. Excellent value for money!
If you like the countryside, peace and quiet and meeting friendly local residents. If you like the perfect full English breakfast. If you like an olde world pub with two perfect hosts, try this Inn. We loved it for all that it offered. WE will go back.
