Our Story

The most charming and welcoming country dining pub. Set on the edge of The Cotswolds in beautiful Barford St Michael, with 9 individually decorated and luxurious bedrooms. Your warm welcome awaits.

The George’s story began in 2016 when Laura and Louis Holtzhausen bought and restored a 16th Century thatched inn, in their neighbouring village of Barford St Michael.

Together they brought it back to life...

....Their vision was to create a pub with a home for home environment for locals to come together and have a great time. They lovingly restored The George with the upmost respect, whilst going bold with the interior design with their innate eye for detail and distinctive flair.

In the process, they have created ‘The George’ we see today, in all its glory.

The George has become a place our guests seek to escape and relax. Our unpretentious surroundings offer the understated luxury and little touches that rival any five star hotel, whilst we also proudly manage to retain our welcoming charm as The Village Pub.

Our kitchen actively sources the very best produce that Britain has to offer and will always opt local if the quality is better – and we have the fortune of many incredible and forward thinking local producers and small businesses on our doorstep to work with! {Please see our suppliers page}.

Our team are all individually creative and genuinely enjoy being nice. We realise that these two attributes make being A Team very easy indeed. We hope this shows on a daily basis.

Our focus is simple. Create delicious plates of food, pour the very best drinks and serve it all with a genuine smile.

We are proud of what we have created here as a team and we hope to welcome you soon.
