“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 stairs to the room looked quite worn. They were not clean. the noise from the pub persisted well after closing. It was difficult to sleep. also the promised bedside lamp was missing! though the owner did find one eventually. i found these issues rather annoying.
