The Experience

There’s much history in the stone walls and ancient beams – part of the novel Jane Eyre was set here – but the atmosphere is very relaxed and informal with fireside seating and cosy nooks, plus a snug and book-lined library area. The modern, neatly laid out dining area is separate, with a short seasonal menu of pub classics and some more elaborate dishes, plus a wood-fired pizza oven. Their suppliers are local farmers, brewers and artisan producers.

Bedrooms are individually decorated with striking wallpapers, rich fabrics, big lamps and antiques; bathrooms have thick towels, bath robes and White Company soaps and lotions. Breakfasts are fit for a king – along with the full English there are plant-based options, Derbyshire oatcake wraps and American pancakes.

Walk it off at Stanage Edge, swim in the 1930s lido in the village or explore wonderful Chatsworth House. Return to a pint of local ale and another peek at that menu.

Reviews

Rescued, restored and reopened in 2024, this rambling 500-year-old stone pub combines original features with a contemporary coaching inn vibe. Rooms are boldly decorated – book the spacious suite with Charlotte Brontë connections – and seasonal menus champion local producers. What's more, it stands in a vibrant village in the Hope Valley, just five minutes from Stanage Edge and wonderful walks.

Location

The neighbourhood

The imposing gritstone escarpment of Stanage Edge is a five-minute drive for some superb walks. Chatsworth House is worth a day out for its fabulous art collection, tapestries and sculpture – the grounds are superb. Cyclists will be happy with the old railways and back lanes forming a network of cycling possibilities and gorgeous, unspoilt villages like Monyash and Youlgreave.

Local points of interest from The Team

  • You are 5 minutes away from the renowned Stanage Edge where you can take in some of the most breathtaking scenery of the Derbyshire Peak District. A slight detour on the way via Hathersage Parish church and you can visit Little John's grave.

  • The historic village of Eyam a five minute drive away, visit Eyam Hall and museum to learn all about the plague and see where it all started!
  • Castleton, home of Blue John stone is 5 miles from the George. Visit the Caverns and see how this precious stone is mined and turned into the most amazing jewellery and giftware.
