The George & Dragon - A historic inn on the A6 with locally themed rooms, real ales, and pet-friendly policies
Located on the main A6 at the northern end of Belper, The George & Dragon has operated as a public house for nearly 200 years, serving real ales and offering room-only accommodations. Guests can choose between single (£60) or double (£75) occupancy in locally inspired rooms, which feature flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee makers, and private bathrooms with walk-in showers. Dogs stay free upon request, and the property sits just 500 meters from Strutt's North Mill in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. Nearby attractions include Duffield Millennium Meadow (5 km), White Peak Distillery (4 km), and Belper Park Local Nature Reserve (13 km). A continental breakfast is available each morning at The George & Dragon.
Pros
One of Belper's oldest inns, with nearly two centuries of hospitality.
Pet-friendly policies allow dogs to stay at no extra charge.
Strategic location on the A6, 500 meters from Strutt's North Mill.
Rooms include tea and coffee makers, flat-screen TVs, and walk-in showers.
Cons
Limited dining options on-site; breakfast is the only meal served.
“The George & Dragon impresses with its stylish, spotless rooms, some seemingly fresh from renovation. Its Belper location is convenient, near Riverside Gardens and Strutt's Mill, with parking available. I particularly appreciate the thoughtful touches, from personalized notebooks to in-room amenities; the pub's lively atmosphere doesn't compromise room quietness.”
