“The Griffin Inn strikes me as a genuinely welcoming establishment, where a personal touch from the landlord, Jamie, seems to be a hallmark of the experience. The dining, particularly the unexpectedly generous lunch deals and the standout parsnip rosti, speaks to a kitchen that values quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Beyond the food, the inn cultivates a comfortable atmosphere, with varied dining spaces and a garden, alongside quiet rooms that promise a restorative stay.”
