16th-century country inn with panoramic Ouse Valley views

Property & History

The Griffin Inn occupies a 16th-century building with historical significance in the village of Fletching. The property includes a large garden that overlooks the Ouse Valley, providing expansive countryside views. Guests have access to free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station on site.

Dining

The restaurant operates a frequently changing menu based on local and seasonal ingredients, with dishes like courgette & burrata pesto and moules with chilli and ginger. Sunday roasts, brunch, and afternoon tea are served regularly, and outdoor BBQs and themed dinner nights are held in the garden. A separate outdoor pizza oven is available for events, and the bar stocks Harvey's beers alongside a selection of wines and champagnes.

Rooms

All 13 bedrooms are individually styled and furnished, with some offering four-poster beds and Chadder & Co. roll-top baths. Each room has a flat-screen TV, DVD player, and clock radio, and bathroom toiletries are made from herbs grown in the inn's own garden. Rooms are located in both the main building and a separate coach house, with some opening onto a quiet courtyard.

Pet-Friendly Accommodations

The inn is pet-friendly and provides dedicated facilities for dogs, including pet bowls and dog beds in guest rooms. A treat box and water bowl are offered upon check-in for canine guests. The large garden and surrounding countryside walks make the property suitable for guests traveling with pets.
