Food price was on the high side and the bar area wasn’t that clean.

Old world charm and friendly staff.

The bath was a bit small for my partner he prefers a shower

Not applicable as we were only there for four hours awaiting our new flight

The en suite shower was a little basic but that’s understandable given the historic setting.

We ate dinner at the hotel; it was superb with excellent wines to accompany the meal suggested by the helpful staff. Breakfast was of the same quality with excellent choice.

We just thought that the cooked breakfast was excellent but maybe benefit from more to the buffet breakfast ie yoghurt Danish pastries cooked meats cheese etc

All staff very welcoming & efficient. The Inn itself was full of atmosphere & history. The food & wine very good.

One of the staff at breakfast was a little inattentive to detail and had to be asked for a cup and saucer as well as milk for out tea. Also got our order mixed up.

Breakfast was excellent and the location was fine for us.

The second evening we didn't have a table in the restaurant and that we found disappointing. We had a very small table where people were constantly bumping into us. Same food but not the standard of the restaurant but charged the same prices.

Food was very good

Very Small Shower Area & Poor Cleanliness Throughout The Inn unfortunately.

Lovely Food, Good Beer with a Fantastic Garden!

Television as mentioned previously and food and drink prices were high.

Room with four-poster bed was beautiful! Old world charm with modern comfort & the loo was amazing! Only slight downside was that the television was small & high up & remote needed new batteries. Dinner was good but over-priced. Breakfast was lovely! All the staff were very friendly, helpful and polite. The garden was an absolute delight with stunning view.

The letdown was the bedroom. We were in Bluebell. It is an old pub, so we were expecting quirky. Ceiling is very low. The main concern was there was no shower, just a roll-top bath, with a handheld shower attachment. Although it all looks nice, it's really not practical. The room would be no good for anyone with mobility issues. Feel it's overpriced for what you are getting.

The Griffin Inn is a lovely old pub. All the staff were lovely and friendly. Both the breakfast and all our evening meals were delicious. The seating area inside and out is lovely. There is an outside covered area and then masses of space with benches over looking amazing scenery. The outside lighting at night, gives it a nice feel.

Whilst the property has parking it is not reserved parking and so was a nightmare - it would have been better if guests had reserved parking spaces - it is very popular for lunch and evening food and so we had to park way way up the road on the street - long stay car park was full also. Food was ok but menus are very "designer" - probably just us as we are quite fussy with what we like and don't like - but to be fair it has won awards so guessing this is just our personal view. The lunch menu is the same as the evening menu, and there is no alternative bar food at lunch time, like panini's for example, Needed a taxi in evening and didn't appreciate we needed to have probably booked one earlier in week - all the numbers provided were already booked and so we ended up having to drive to our event we had travelled for. Not The Griffin fault but just mentioning for any future visitors purpose.

Huge gardens with beautiful countryside views. The rooms were lovely and clean and the shower was great. Staff were very friendly but came across as if everything was hectic! They are very busy over lunch and in the evenings and are running around, resulting in sometimes forgetting to bring something over etc but all in all were very nice people who worked hard and nothing was too much trouble.

My family booked 3 rooms over the course of a week. 2 of the rooms did not have over head showers, and in one room, due to it being at the front of the pub the windows did not open, which on a hot week was very unpleasant. All of the rooms are very expensive; for that price to not be able to have a shower or open the window was not what we expected. The staff barely acknowledged us being there, which seeing as we were a wedding party and had spent a lot of money with them I thought was very impersonal. There is a good range of breakfast options, but 4 of us had poached eggs, none of them were runny. Lovely place, but the lack of attention to detail and customer service make it not worth the pricing.

The pub, style of rooms, the outside courtyard to eat and the garden are all beautiful.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely pub with beautiful views from the beer garden

on one minor problem was very low water pressure in the blue bell room, which made it impossible to use the shower. I can understand why as the building is so old but probably be a little better if a power shower was fitted. This small problem did not spoil our stay and given change we will return.

fantastic place to stop, we loved every minute.

The very steep stairs to our room were a little difficult especially with an injured knee and carrying a suitcase.

Excellent freshly prepared scrambled eggs

Portion size of the breakfast was not what I expected. This was avocado and porched egg. If I'd of seen it first I would have gone for the full breakfast instead.

The local feel and the traditional pub look. Food was fantastic.

Breakfast was very minimalist.only choice was one item from breakfast list. Butter was only enough for one person .for a round of toast. Fan in our bathroom continued for a period of 10 mins after using bathroom.annoying when one is tired.but to be fair offered us another room.but we declined as we had settled in room.

Lunch was very good. Staff were excellent.
