“The Griffin Inn, recently under new management, offers a cozy bar and a welcoming atmosphere. Its location, while requiring a bit of a climb from Bowers Mill, makes it a practical choice for wedding guests seeking local charm. I anticipate that with the return of food service, this pub will become an even more vibrant hub.”

The room was clean and tidy.
I found no charging point for my mobile phone, quite inconvenient. There was also an additional charge for breakfast. I thought this. The hotel needs a bit of TLC.
