We’ve come a long way since 1851…

Our journey began way way back when…in 1851 when our flagship hotel, Georgian House was built by my great, great grandfather William Chinnery Mitchell. After buying the land Georgian House was built according to the master plan laid out by famous builder, Thomas Cubitt and has remained a family treasure ever since. Over several generations the houses have been handed down through my family. I began managing the B&B operations in 1987, aged 19. At this time Georgian House was just a two-star accommodation with 28 guest rooms.

Fast Forward (many) years to today…

Georgian House boasts 45 individually designed rooms with an informal yet friendly service. The heritage of our much loved building has been maintained and considerately restored.

In addition, we’re excited to share that Chinnery House Apartments have joined the Your Place group in London. Just a street behind Georgian House, these elegant apartments offer the ultimate London experience. Picture yourself living like a local in a classic British townhouse, nestled in one of London’s poshest neighbourhoods! Take a leisurely stroll and find yourself in the fabulously fancy Belgravia or the ever-trendy Chelsea.

We’re also thrilled to announce that our neighbouring property, Bower House, is currently undergoing refurbishment and will be joining the Your Place group in Spring 2026. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow our unique collection of characterful London stays. Despite many years and generations we have maintained the ‘home from home’ feel our guests know and love. We now aim to translate this ‘home from home’ feeling across our growing group of Place UK hotels in London and the Lakes.

I hope to welcome you to London or the Lakes soon!
