A nice old pub with a great selection of beers and English breakfast included. The only thing that let it down was the bathroom had a bad smell of old urine. Give the place a deep clean and it would make a huge difference.

What's not to like? Fabulous place, great family atmosphere about the place. Great food, good beer, nice room, dog friendly, Limited parking, but right in the middle of town in the middle of Norfolk. Sensible location for anyone working in the area, close to the A11. Good dog walking from the pub. Daniel and his team (overseen by Mum) are very welcoming, as is the pub - it'll wrap it's warm and welcoming arms around you - here you can relax and feel at home and really look forward to returning soon.

Staff were excellent and friendly. Pub was welcoming and inviting. Breakfast cooked to order and very nice. Now for the room. No5 a bit dated but spacious. Bed was very firm but could feel every spring in the mattress. Shower pressure abysmal and scalding to start. Had to use a lot of force just to get the dial round to get the cold water flowing and still low pressure. Some say adds character, I’d say it lacked comfort.
Bed was very hard and could feel every spring.
Tv only worked when you jabbed the remote.
Shower pressure abysmal and regulator difficult to move.
Dated decor

A very interesting ancient inn. The town is spoilt by the fast roads going through the centre and the limited options for eating out other than in the hotel. The church is beautiful!

I have stayed at the Griffin many times and will continue to choose this venue above any others in the area. Its just a pub with rooms upstairs. It has a good restaurant, and thats exactly what I am looking for. Onsite parking is tight but I've never had any issue parking outside.

A traditional English Inn

A lovely English Inn. It's an old building looking out on the town and church. The bed was comfortable and room was warm. The staff very friendly. Breakfast was great. Richard is a character. Will come again when visiting family.

It's a 470 year old inn; so the floors are a bit wonky and there is no lift but the bedroom is otherwise good 3 star standard and the staff are courteous and helpful, the restaurant serves good Englsh cuisine at reasonable prices and the bar atmosphere is that of a village pub. and it couldn't be closer to the centre of town

Had previously read the reviews for the hotel and decided to give it a go. On arrival friendly welcoming. Got to room, smelt a bit of smoke. TV the size of a small PC monitor. Outside light on all night lighting up the room even with curtains closed. In the morning no heating until 0645. Tried to have a hot shower, no hot water despite running water for 5 minutes.

The hotel is quirky, old coach inn. The staff were lovely and the room was as expected. We stayed in room 3 with the four poster bed. The only things that let the place down was the parking, if you parked at the back, there was only about 3 spaces and you need to fit through a tight gap to get to it. There is parking on the road but only free from 6pm Saturday night to Monday morning. The host did not mention that they had a party on the evening we stayed until we checked in. Although the music did stop at 11pm. Gutted that we didn't get a chance to sit in the pub area in the evening as it was a unique space. The room was great but the heating did not work and it got quite cold, the window latch was faulty, so couldn't be locked safely. Thankfully the room wasn't for families. The toilet cistern was very loud every time you flushed the toilet. The toilet door needed adjusting as it was hard to close. The four poster bed looked like it wasn't held together well. Was generally clean.The breakfast was lovely, freshly cooked but was let down by the sticky table that we sat at, our glasses and plates were stuck to the table. The atmosphere was great, especially the resident dog who was so lovely. Found out apparently the place was haunted and there was a lovely great big church right next door and was a lovely view from the bedroom. I would stay there again purely for it's character. Price was also reasonable, £94.00 for a night in a room with a four poster bed and open fireplace.

Attleborough Gem

Its just an old Coaching Inn. A pub with rooms on the upper floor, and that is precisely what I love about the place. Never an issue with parking, and two large Supermarkets within a few minutes walk. Takeaways line the main road if something varied is required, but the Griffin has an excellent restaurant serving excellent wholesome fresh tukka. The breakfast option is also excellent. I have stayed there many times and will continue to do so.

Staff were helpful and friendly, evening meals we had were good and reasonable priced. Room was clean but beds mattress were lumpy … could feel the springs almost pocking through. The shower was poor with only a trickle of water. Am afraid the breakfast didn’t live up to the evening meal, there wasn’t even a breakfast menu, no cereals or fruit juice etc , no toast and sausages were like cardboard,egg was under cooked , but at least it wasn’t over priced .

The Griffin has character

Room clean and comfy with plenty of space. Be aware the floor in room not level but not a problem for us once we realised. Stairs to room a bit wobbly so you need to take care. Old building but clean. Breakfast was delicious with local butchers sausage and bacon. Parking a bit of a problem so we had to park in public car park for 3 Hours ( Free) until space available.

Old coach house in need of refreshing in the bars

450 yr old coach house in the middle of town. The staff helpful. Free parking, breakfast included. Rooms were good and clean with comfortable beds. The main bar and dining area needs a full revamp , carpet would benefit from being removed and the old wood flooring brought back to life, the odour of old stale smoke from an era of open fires still hangs in the air. It’s time for fresh blood to take the reins and the owner gentleman to think about enjoying his latter years and not trying to continue working to the end. I have empathy for his willpower but sometimes you need to consider calling time
