    Rooms and en suites small. Limited parking at hotel, with very narrow access.

    Great situation for us - we were racing at Snetterton for the weekend. Crisp, clean bed linen and towels. Good beers.

    Evening meal service was open for pretty limited times, so just make sure to confirm! I had a toastie and it was yummy! The floors throughout were a bit creaky, but the whole place had a load of charm. The water pressure was great, but it was hot and I had clean towels everyday.

    The staff were great and breakfast was very filling. The view of the church yard was really nice to wake up to each morning. Wifi was stable!!!! There is onsite parking, but beware if you have a large vehicle the entrance way is tight! There's a cafe next door that's nice and quaint, a fish shop across the street and a Chinese just down the road. The shower is hot and there was plenty of space in the bathroom and bedroom. The light from the big windows was so nice!

    Had dinner and breakfast in the hotel and both were excellent home cooking. Whilst the hotel is a little 'tired', it is still a welcoming and good place to stay.

    Parking for van on street, access to hotel car park limited. Having said that street parking fine no restrictions between 6pm to 8am. Busy one way street.

    Staff good, rooms good and clean. Evening menu basic no frills. As contractor do not need much more.

    My only very slight criticism is that the shower could do with a mat inside as it was very slippy.

    The Griffin is authentically quaint and traditionally creaky, which I love. Luckily for us, they do an early breakfast on a Sunday which meant we were able to eat before having to rush back to London. The breakfast was excellent. The towels in the room were large and fluffy. I would certainly stay again when visiting family in the area.

    The restaurant menus weren’t available online and were only on chalk boards. No-one else was dining so we went elsewhere.

    Three beds was what we needed and got. They were comfortable and clean. The location was perfect for a trip to Norwich the next morning. Breakfast was enjoyable.

    Nothing we didn't like but this is an old building and as such, there are the unavoidable creaky floors and uneven stairs. The access to the car park is very narrow but again, this is due to the age of the building and we managed it in a 4x4

    Great location and beautiful old building full of character. Wonderful staff, great food, everything we needed

    The car park whilst adequate is exceptionally tight. This can not be changed due to the nature of the building, and if you drive a larger vehicle, you will need nerves of steel or to find alternative parking. A picture is included in the review.

    All round, it was a great short stay in a lovely old hotel. The facilities were everything you need and didn't seem to suffer despite the age and listed status of the building. The breakfast was lovely. What can only be described as "proper" bacon was a highlight. The bar was quiet but served a great pint, and the bar staff were welcoming and chatty without it feeling forced. The owners/managers Richard, and a lady I sadly never caught the name of were attentive and looked to do anything to keep you informed of what you needed to know before you even asked. The menu for the evening restaurant was not massive, but like the breakfast, the quality was tremendous. The beef and Guinness pie was delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend this as a great place to stay.
