Griffin Inn Fletching, East Sussex, TN22 3SS

  • 13 bedrooms

Historic charm and glorious Ouse Valley views

The Griffin Inn is perched in the picture-perfect village of Fletching and is the sort of country pub that makes a weekend away feel properly removed from everyday life. This Grade II-listed pub has roots stretching back to the 16th century, with cosy fireplaces, oak beams, period details and plenty of character around every corner. Outside, its expansive garden opens onto sweeping views across the Ouse Valley, affectionately known locally as the ‘Sussex Serengeti’. There are 13 beautifully styled bedrooms above and alongside the pub, fusing historic quirks with comfortable modern touches. Food is very much part of the experience, so expect comforting classics and more refined dishes that follow the seasons. Fletching itself is surrounded by some of East Sussex’s most beautiful countryside, making this pub particularly appealing for walking breaks. Ashdown Forest and the Bluebell Railway are close by, while Lewes makes a rewarding day out.
