The George Hotel is a fine example of Victorian architecture steeped in 'Old World Charm', yet offers modern luxury. Bedrooms are spacious and equipped to a high standard. It is an excellent base to explore Yorkshire, The Pennines, Bronte Country and many of the popular TV soaps' locations (Last of the Summer Wine, Coronation Street, Emmerdale). Rugby League was founded in a meeting at the hotel in 1895.
