We have eaten at the White Horse and Griffin many times but this was our first stay in the hotel. After reading many reviews on trip advisor we were a little worried. However you have to take into account how old this buidling is. The odd shaped rooms and odd layout all add to the charm of the place. Our... more

The photos of the white horse and griffin are very deceiving. They do not give a true representation of the rooms. We were very disappointed. Thank goodness it was only for one night! more

We have just returned from another wonderful stay at the White Horse and Griffin. As always it was just as we expected. Stuart and his staff were as friendly as ever. Food great and our room the Warrier Queen was just want we wanted. (yet again). The location of the hotel is brilliant - central amongst the hustle and the... more

Me and my wife stayed here for 2 nights. On arriving we could not find the reception and had to walk through people having their lunch to find somebody to take us to our room. We stayed in the Bagatelle room which was up four flights of stairs and hidden away in the attic. The room was bright, clean and... more

Why are there so many bad reviews, this place is great. The rooms were clean, loads of hot water and lovely toiletries. I have never seen a tea/coffee tray so full. We all had smoked haddock and poached eggs for breakfast and it was brill. This hotel has loads of character, yes it's creeky but that is part of its... more

We stayed here twice before, the last time in 2004. The front rooms are noisy with late night street drunks and early morning refuse collections so best to sleep in a rear room. However, I had terrible stomach trouble in 2004 after I got home but blamed it on a hospital stay I had recently made. Went back for a... more
