HotelsWe have pre-booked rooms at The George Inn and White Hart Hotel. The George is a particularly interesting, historic building with links to the civil war. It’s in Wallingford, right next to the castle gardens and meadows adjacent to the river. We will likely go swimming and picnic in Wallingford on the Sunday after the party. They are offering free breakfast for our group! The White Heart is recommended if you would like to take the opportunity to see [Dorchester Abbey] (https://www.dorchester-abbey.org.uk/) The Hart is also a lovely old building but we have never visited ourselves so please do your own research. You can of course find other hotels in Wallingford or the local area but these are the interesting ones.• The George Inn, Wallingford
