Eat, Drink, Sleep' it says
on the sign outside the Griffin. Such a plain and
simple exhortation doesn't really do justice to
what awaits within this country inn with a
difference. Until recently, inns were fairly
predictable places &endash; low of beam, dark of
corner and creaky of bed. The Griffin is one of a
new breed. The creation of a young, dynamic team
led by Charles Inkin and brother Edmund, the
Griffin takes the concept of the traditional pub,
shakes it around, and comes up with something that
could be labelled as 'contemporary country'. Let's
take the 'Eating' as a starter. Hearty pub grub has
been given wide berth in favour of the modern,
lighter style of cooking. It's a sophisticated menu
&endash; and extremely good value for money
(breakfasts, too, are a special occasion, with all
kinds of delicious home-made treats and an
opportunity to toast your own bread on the
Aga).

The 'Drinking', along with
the eating, takes place in the most amenable of
surroundings &endash; an open-plan series of rooms
and spaces, with an intriguing mix of old
fireplaces and trendy black-and-white photographs,
old beams and unfussy décor, iconic Aga and
funky mementoes. The 'Sleeping' side also has a
decidedly contemporary feel, notwithstanding the
choice of four-poster beds. The bedrooms are neat,
simple and comfortable, with quality beds and linen
&endash; and no televisions, so you'll just have to
wander down to the bar. The Felin Fach Griffin is
located close to the heart of the Brecon Beacons
National Park, with a huge choice of outdoor
activities available locally.
