Situated in the heart of East Anglia, 16 miles away from Norwich, the historic coaching inn The Griffin Hotel was first established in 1560. Guests can enjoy racing and track days at the nearby Snetterton, only 5 miles away. The six refurbished bedrooms retain many period features of the original Elizabethan coaching inn. They all feature an en suite bathroom, a TV, tea/coffee making facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Guests can enjoy a varied menu of homemade food, served daily, including main course specials, delicious steaks, and a large selection of real ales and lagers. The Griffin offers easy access to Banham Zoo and historic market town of Wymondham, both within 15 minutes’ drive.
