The George
Hathersage, Derbyshire, England
Believed to have been built at some point during the late-fourteenth or early-fifteenth century, The George certainly possesses a rich local history. It is, however, its connection to Charlotte Bronte which is perhaps of greatest note.
It is said that, while visiting friends at the local vicarage, the author became a patron of “The George”, and would go on to use her experiences of the inn while penning what is arguably her most famous work, Jane Eyre. Indeed, she used the name of the family who had previously owned the building as that of the heroine, and the name “Morton” after the landlord of the time.
Today, the hotel offers 22 guest rooms in total, as well as an AA Two Rosette Award-winning restaurant.
Sheffield is some 10 miles away to the north east, while much of what the Peak District National Park has to offer is right on the doorstep.
