I drove through the Cotswold little villages and towns and arrived at The George Townhouse in Shipston-on-Stour in Warwickshire. I was thrilled when I arrived and saw my room. The George has been in the neighbourhood for years. Located on the edge of the Cotswold in England is an ideal place to spend time, relax and explore the area.
The George got an extensive makeover in early 2016 that included all the 15 en-suite bedrooms. Found right at the heart of Shipston High Street, it stands at three and a half stories tall that make it the tallest structure on that stretch of land. It is a Georgian townhouse with 18th century features, which gives it a casual and yet an elegant look.

| Aperol Spritz |

| Twice baked cheddar soufflé, spinach & grain mustard sauce – it was very lightevenly risen and slightly wobbly, the creamy sauce with mustard worked very well with the cheese and spinach |
 |
| 8oz. Todenham farm rump steak, triple cooked chips, peppercorn sauce, served medium-are and no blood running, excellent and quality meat! The peppercorn sauce that accompanied the steak was very tasty. |

| My dessert: Espresso Martini – It had to be done! Stolichnaya Vodka, Tia Maria & Espresso Coffee |

Perfect timing. Off to the Cotswolds at the end of this month. This place looks gorgeous.
What a lovely hotel experience! Everything looks divine, especially the breakfast. Also, I hope you fully enjoyed the Victorian bathtub.
That twice baked cheddar souffle looks like reason enough to go!
