A SOMERSET inn has been included in a list of the best country pubs with bedrooms for lunch and a winter walk.
The George Inn in Norton St Phillip, near Frome, was one of 20 pubs to make The Guardian rankings.
The Grade I listed building is one of the oldest inns in the country, dating back to the 14th century, selling beer for over 700 years.
Speaking of The George Inn, The Guardian said: "The bar, with its antique tables, majolica jugs and pewter tankards, has been moved to a bigger area, furnished with snug drinking corners and zhuzhed up with vintage paints and grand fabrics.
"The wood-floored dining room has a huge original stone fireplace, repurposed pews and cushioned benches, where diners can tuck into local pigeon or Butcombe beer-battered fish and chips, leaving room for sticky figgy pudding and local cheeses.
"The 13 luxuriously redecorated bedrooms are all different, some in a timber-framed gallery above the inn’s old courtyard."
