The George - An 18th-century townhouse hotel with boutique rooms, local dining options, and proximity to Exmoor
The George occupies a historic 18th-century townhouse on Broad Street in South Molton, a bustling market town. The hotel features 16 boutique rooms, including single, double, and deluxe double options, each with en-suite bathrooms, tea/coffee facilities, and smart TVs. Some rooms overlook the town square. Guests can order meals from local restaurants like Pagoda Wok and The Bengal Tiger, served in the hotel's dining room. The George Coffee Lounge serves Union Coffee's 'Revelation' blend, Clipper teas, and homemade cakes. The bar offers local spirits like Wicked Wolf Gin and ales such as Doom Bar. South Molton Pannier Market is 300 meters away, and Exmoor National Park is within a short drive.
Pros
The historic 18th-century building retains original features, including a stone arch in the cellar.
Local dining partnerships allow guests to enjoy meals from nearby restaurants in the hotel.
The bar serves a selection of regional gins, vodkas, and ales.
Dog-friendly rooms are available for an additional fee.
Free parking is provided onsite.
Cons
No on-site restaurant; meals are sourced from external vendors.
Some rooms face the town square, which may be noisy during market days.
“In South Molton, this hotel struck me as exceptionally clean, from the bedrooms to the modern bathrooms. Breakfast made to order is a real treat, setting the tone for a comfortable stay. What stands out is the quiet atmosphere, a welcome find in such a central location with easy parking.”
