The Griffin Hotel

Wonderful stay, exceptional service and fantastic food

Pros: Friendly staff extremely helpful. Property is a very old, charming and right in the centre of the town. Food is fantastic from breakfast to dinner. All home cooked fresh on the premises. A special note for the steak & kidney pudding - outstanding needs be tried by everyone. Rooms are comfortable and clean. The pub has a lovely friendly vibe we noted all ages welcomed from babies in pushchairs to the very elderly.

Cons: Some parts are shabby and need attention. The landlord and family have recently taken over and are updating and decorating.

Great stay. Lovely room, excellent breakfast and lively and friendly bar!

Pros: Exceptional breakfast. Comfortable room and lovely atmosphere in the bar.

Cons: Just a tiny thing but the mattress was a bit hard for my old bones!

Successful weekend

Pros: The hotel had a really good atmosphere and staff friendly

Great Value, lovely accommodation and fantastic breakfast

Pros: A very characterful pub located in the centre of Attleboro with oak beams and creaky floorboards. Very clean en-suite room with shower, TV and tea and coffee facilities. Very quiet for a pub environment as the room we were in , number 6, was located away from the main pub area. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the price of the room an absolute bargain, which included a full English breakfast too. Overall, far better than the usual Travelodge we would have used previously and highly recommended if visiting the local area.

Cons: The rooms are located above the main pub and although our room was very peaceful, I could imagine that noise may be an issue for some.

Perfect for my needs

Pros: I love the crisp n very white sheets. Breakfast was exactly what I asked for with constant strong coffee, perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was my 2nd time staying and would definitely stay for a 3rd

Cons: Need bigger tvs

Perfect stay

Pros: The staff were very welcoming, both of me and my dog, as were the other patrons. Despite arriving late when the kitchens were about to close, they prepared an excellent evening meal. The included breakfast was very generous and meant that I could skip lunch! The room looked out over the churchyard (which provided plenty of space for dog exercise in the morning). Despite the room being close to the bar it was peaceful and I was not disturbed by the noise.

NEW OWNERS: Don't change anything. This is a brilliant venue for overnight stays when I'm at Snett.

Pros: The Griffin is just a Pub with rooms above the bar. But the rooms are excellent - I've now stayed in ALL of them over the years. Parking is never an issue and the venue is just off the A11. Breakfast was awesome.

Cons: I only get to stay there on a few occasions each year.

Pros: Staff were really friendly, nothing too much trouble for them. Room clean, bed comfortable. Food very good.

Cons: Because of the age of the property it needed a bit of tlc.

A perfect place for a stay in Attleborough

Pros: The staff were brilliant. I'm gluten and dairy intolerant & they made the best breakfast for me & was always aware of any cross contamination. The bed was perfect . Soft like a cloud, just how I like it, the building is beautiful and perfect location to the town , transport & looking out onto the church grounds. I would highly recommend this place.

Cons: I don't want to say anything negative because of how accommodating the staff were & the hotel being such a gem...but if I had to say something, a hair dryer wasn't in the room which is fine in the summer but in the winter with my long hair, that may have been a problem with the cold, & visitors will need to bring their own water as I was advised not to drink from the bathroom & I needed more then what was left in the room, even though the staff was happy to give more bottles when required. The walls to the other rooms are paper thin ..the Friday it was peaceful & i was able to enjoy the ambiance & views, the Saturday, I had a noisy guest next to me , I could even hear them walking which isn't the hotels fault , and they left the fire door open letting all the noise from the bar below disturb the peace of guests relaxing, again not the hotels fault. Its luck of the draw which guests we end up sharing the space with.

Comfortable and great breakfasts. Very Dog friendly place to stay.

Pros: Amazing breakfasts. Good choice, very generous portions and very tasty. Gluten free options were available and the hotel were flexible in other food preferences too. Carvery was good too. Very dog friendly place. Our dog was very welcome and we felt very comfortable with bringing her down to bar area. Treats were available too. Electric charging points in car park opposite, and 5 mins drive away on A11 at the Shell petrol station.

Cons: I would have liked more vegetarian options instead of the carvery. Also, for some non carvery options to be available from the main menu on Sunday. Car parking was limited at the back of the hotel -entrance very narrow for a large vehicle, but that was because it had been an old coaching inn, so not really a negative as such. Best to park in the car park opposite which was free on Sundays, and overnights.
