Welcome to The Griffin Hotel, a historic coaching Inn located in the heart of East Anglia. For these of you interested in the history - The doors opened for the first time in about 1560 during the early reign of Queen Elizabeth I, in the part of the building fronting Church Street. It was extended in the 17th and 18th centuries with a frontage onto the churchyard.
The Griffin was designed as a coaching inn, one feature being wooden cobbles in the archway to muffle the horses hooves, so as not to disturb the guests sleeping upstairs! Although guests no longer normally arrive by coach and horses, the Griffin continues to provide for all the needs of a weary traveller - a warm welcome, reviving drinks in the bar, a hearty meal in the restaurant and a comfortable bed for the night.

Snetterton is an extremely popular test venue on which premier racing cars have been developed. The locally based Lotus F1 team made Snetterton its home test track, while major British single-seater manufacturer Van Diemen has never been based more than a stone's throw away from the Revett Straight.
Travelling over to Snetterton for either a track day or a race weekend? Well, the good news is that the government has finally decided to dual the remaining single carriage section of the A11. The bad news is that it won't be finished this season and the civil engineers are going to be busy all year.

I booked a twin room online, so wasn’t sure what to expect. I have to say that I was extremely pleased with what I found, on arrival the lady behind the bar was efficient and pleasant, the owner was also very accommodating. The food was excellent with a varied menu, breakfast was also excellent. I would have no reservations in recommending this hotel to any of my friends and colleagues and would definitely check in again if I needed accommodation in the Attleborough area.
Thank you host for a pleasant stay.

Not the best place to stay. You can find much better deals. This place is dead and there is 0 atmosphere. Rooms are quite old and walls are thin. You can hear everything going around. Single glazed windows in windy day make you feel like you are outside. One good thing is food, everything i had was tasty.

What can I say? This place, The Griffin Hotel is amazing. My husband and I stayed for a couple of nights in the Romantic suite with the four poster bed which we had 7 years ago. The breakfast was delicious and the landlord served us himself...a proper gentleman. There was a quiz night and a Scotsman hosted it. He was so funny! Made our night. The ambience was beautiful.
