Calling all lovers of reclaimed materials ..
The headboard and curtains in Room 1 were made from an antique `suzani`, which is Farsi for a piece of fabric made with intricate needlework.
We love the bold shapes and faded vintage feel.
A beautiful find from our interior design partners @retrouvius

A trip to Great Dixter isnβt all about the gardens you know..
.. though they are spectacular in every season.
Built around a 15th-century timber-framed hall, Great Dixter, the house was restored and expanded in 1910 by the great Arts and Crafts architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, working alongside homeowner and gardener Nathaniel Lloyd.
The result is a wonderfully atmospheric mix of medieval structure and early 20th-century craftsmanship β oak beams, open hearths, carved panelling and a sense of warmth that feels timeless.
In the quieter months, wandering the house gives you space to appreciate its history and personality β not least the spirit of Christopher Lloyd, whose flair and creativity still seem to linger in every room.
So if youβre visiting us at The George this season, take a little time to explore Great Dixter beyond the garden gate β itβs a living piece of English heritage. πΏπ‘
π Great Dixter House & Gardens, Northiam β 20 minutes drive from The George.
β Perfect for a cosy morning out before returning to the fire here with us.

How delicious it was to have @dianahenryfood return to The George Ballroom.
The award winning British food writer was in conversation with our friends and neighbours @sailorsofrye ..
..telling a packed house all about her life and work as we poured through her many tantalising books.
Guests were also able to get their hands on exclusive SIGNED editions of the 2024 revised version of Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons which are still available @sailorsofrye - perfect Xmas presents for the foodies in your life! ππ
Thanks to everyone who came! π π
