The George Hotel is a 17th-century townhouse enjoying a spectacular location on the water's edge between the castle and pier in the bustling harbour town of Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. Steeped in history, it was once home to the most noteworthy of the Island's Governors, Sir Robert Holmes, who often entertained King Charles II.

For weddings, a ceremony room is licensed for up to 22 guests, the main restaurant with views over the Solent seats up to 70 for a three-course meal, and there is space for a band or DJ with a dance floor for up to 150 evening guests. The whole hotel can be taken for celebrations.

The stunning Italian-inspired beachfront garden, with historic olive trees and a driftwood-clad beach bar, is a magical setting for drinks and photographs.

Guests can even arrive in style on the hotel's 32ft motorboat, G-Dogg, with private transfers from Lymington to Yarmouth.
