Vår plassering
Et opphold på The George gir deg det perfekte valget mellom å slappe av i puben vår (Årets skotske whiskybar for 2023), smake på menyene i vår prisbelønte restaurant og cocktailbar, danse til levende musikk fra lokale musikere hver helg, og nyte utrolig lokal natur og rikelige turer, utforske butikkene og små galleriene i Inveraray, utforske Loch Fyne, Argyll og øyene, eller bare slappe av i privatlivet på rommet ditt, med vår imponerende frokost levert på døren...
Having worked at festivals all over the country, from the largest in the land to the smallest in the county, I can attest that the festivals in the George Hotel’s Garden Bar are among the very best of them.
With the friendliest of atmospheres, some great music and stunning surroundings, what’s not to like about them?
The traditional music events reflect the spirit of the hills and glens around the venue, the blues festival summons ghosts of the Mississippi Delta, the rock ‘n’ roll events invoke shadows of the 1950s. All with a contemporary, slightly irreverent – one eyebrow raised - attitude.
Excellent food and drink choices from the talented and hard-working Garden Bar crew, together with the free admission and excellent musical line-ups, ensure that complaints are limited to the off midge or spot of rain.
The venue itself has evolved since opening in 2020. From a slightly hand-knitted response to ever-changing Covid regulations, the space is now ideally suited to one or two-day music events, no matter the weather.
And the choice of artistes for the events is truly eclectic. From international star Horse to the young blades of The Best Bad Influence, old troopers to keen youngsters, loud to reflective, trendy to not-give-a dammy, mellow to truly eccentric – the whole gamut of the musical world has trod the Garden Bar stages.
So what is expected for the events in 2024? Simply, more of the same – but better. Excellent music being enjoyed by enthusiastic crowds in ideal surroundings with excellent food and drink.
We all look forward to seeing you in the garden of dreams…
