George Hotel

Top choice in Southern Highlands & Islands


The George boasts a magnificent choice of opulent, individual rooms decorated with sumptuous period furniture. Some feature four-poster beds, Victorian roll-top baths and/or private jacuzzis (superior rooms and suites cost £145 to £180 per double; the library suite is quite a sight). Some rooms are in an annexe opposite and there are also self-catering options.

The cosy wood-panelled bar, with rough stone walls, flagstone floor and peat fires, is a delightful place for all-day bar meals, and has a beer garden.
