The George, Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire

• Age-old accommodation: Championing an old school aesthetic, but never compromising on comfort, The George is a classically British bolthole that sits in the middle of historic Dorchester-on-Thames. It’s been welcoming weary travellers with a cosy bed and glass of foaming ale since the 15th century, so you can be sure its walls have seen their fair share momentous moments; today the guestrooms are super stylish in their décor, with enormous beds and all the most up-to-date amenities you could hope for.
  
  
• Creative cuisine: With exposed wooden beams, antler-clad walls, vaulted ceilings and studded leather furniture, the hotel’s restaurant is as atmospheric as it gets. Such a setting clearly warrants first-rate food, something the kitchen delivers with flying colours; from hearty breakfasts to delicious dinners, seasonal menus are created using the finest ingredients from the local area. Expect delights such as charred feta and roasted pumpkin, Asian pork and cow burgers, and smoked haddock and dill bon bons. There’s also a traditional afternoon tea, where you can enjoy a slice of refinement in a laid back setting.
  
  
• Oxfordshire's calling: Quaint and quirky, charming and convenient, just some words to describe the picturesque village of Dorchester-on-Thames. Often called the ‘gateway to south Oxfordshire’, staying here places you in the middle of England’s green and pleasant land, and just nine miles from the enchanting varsity city of Oxford. You can even get some world-class retail therapy at Bicester Village (just half and hour away), or for a more elegant sightseeing experience, Blenheim Palace is also a 30-minute drive from you.
