The George Hotel

The George Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western will captivate you from the moment you step through our revolving doors, with its nostalgic decor and old-world charm. The oak beams, antique furniture and old local wall prints combine to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, no wonder so many of our guests return year after year. This 300-year-old Grade II-listed hotel is even reputed to have had a famous royal visitor in its time - Bonnie Prince Charlie is said to have spent the night here in 1745. Standing proudly in the center of the delightful market town of Penrith, the hotel is a fantastic base for exploring the breath-taking Lake District and Eden Valley, with Ullswater only 4 miles away. Enjoy a cruise on a steamer or walk for miles. All rooms are beautifully furnished, with large comfortable beds and hospitality trays.
