Save to favouritesPrintMailThe George in Rye"It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition." Henry James may have been thinking of The George – or indeed drinking in The George – when he wrote this. It was established at least 300 years before the author settled here in 1898, and its bar has always drawn local custom. But the hotel itself had become a neglected, and it took the keen eye of film set designer Katie Clarke and her husband Alex to spot the diamond beneath the dust. Now, after two years of renovations, The George has a healthy glow – fresh-scrubbed [r:UK013:bedrooms] with crisp linen, gleaming bathrooms, clean and creamy walls throughout. New and old rub shoulders with flair: psychedelic prints in the reception, log fires in the lounge. Staff are young and courteous; the [i!http://www.i-escape.com/hotel.php?section=eating&hotel_key=UK013!restaurant] serves top-notch seafood and local lamb in an unstuffy style. And the cosy bar has real ales and organic cider. After an afternoon's traipse around cobbled streets, these contemporary comforts are a godsend. A fine hotel, in the best tradition – Henry would have approved.
