The George

About

Nestled on the iconic harbour of West Bay in Dorset, The George is a quintessential English pub and hotel that has become a staple of this historic fishing village and a familiar backdrop of ITV’s "Broadchurch". The Georgian‑style building hosts a warm, table‑service bar and two well‑furnished bars, including the new GWB Horsebox Bar that serves an eclectic range of beers, ciders and spirits. Real ales from local Palmers Brewery, an extensive wine selection and a full bar are all available to guests. The attached restaurant offers a distinctly local menu that showcases freshly‑cooked seafood and a range of hearty mains, complete with vegetarian, vegan and gluten‑free options. Meal times run from noon to 2:30 pm and again from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm, with flexible offerings that adapt to seasonal demand. Dogs of all sizes are welcome in the pub’s two bars and on the expansive garden terrace. The accommodation comprises six comfortable, en‑suite rooms offering views across West Bay Harbour and the surrounding countryside. Room rates include choice of full‑English cooked breakfast, continental options and freshly warmed pastries. Booking is available online via the official website or by phone. With its family‑friendly atmosphere, world‑class ales, and unbeatable harbourside location, The George delivers a true Dorset experience that appeals to both locals and visitors alike.
