About Griffin Sporting Club
Griffin Sporting Club delivers all-inclusive, guided hunting experiences across the British Isles - pairing traditional hunting and fishing with first-class hospitality and seamless logistics. From the Scottish Highlands to the English lowlands, each trip is tailored around your target species, schedule, and preferred style of hunting, with expert local stalkers and carefully selected estates.
Founded by George Watkinson, a lifelong hunter raised on a Norfolk family farm and later a professional deer stalker and fishing ghillie in the Outer Hebrides, Griffin Sporting Club is built on proven fieldcraft and a deep respect for British sporting heritage. From airport transfers and accommodation to rifle hire, licensing, and export coordination, every detail is handled so you can focus on the experience.
Guests can expect authentic stalking on dramatic hill ground and classic lowland estates, with historic lodging, hearty meals, and the option to add sightseeing days for observers. Whether you’re pursuing Highland red and sika, completing a six-species challenge, or combining stalking with salmon fishing, you’ll be looked after in a thoughtful and traditional manner.
Trips
Lodging
Garvault House (Britain’s most remote hotel)
Sleeps 8Guests stay at Garvault House - mainland Britain's most remote hotel, featured on Channel 4's World's Most Secret Hotels. Set deep in the Sutherland wilderness with no other buildings in sight for 20 miles, it's the kind of place most people will never find. The house is run by a husband-and-wife team and feels more like a private home than a hotel. Evenings are spent around the peat fire in the library, or in the drawing room with a dram - there's a piano, board games, chess, and shelves of books if the conversation runs dry (it won't). Dinner is served communally at one long table each night, with locally sourced game, wild trout, and home-cooked food that punches well above its weight. Bedrooms are individually furnished with ensuite bathrooms and views over the lochs and hills of the Flow Country. The house is off-grid - no cell signal, no distractions, just big skies and brilliant stars. Wi-Fi is available for those who need to check in back home. Expect a cooked breakfast each morning, a packed lunch for the hill, and a three-course dinner in the evening. House wines, beers, and spirits are included, and we're happy to arrange specific bottles on request.
Gowthorpe Manor (Elizabethan country house)
Sleeps 6You'll stay at Gowthorpe Manor, a Grade II listed Elizabethan manor house dating from the 1520s, set in the heart of the estate. This is a proper English country house - oak beams, period furniture, a drawing room with a fireplace, and the kind of character that only five centuries of history can produce. The hallways are lined with sporting prints and trophies, and it feels exactly like the England you came here to experience. Bedrooms are individually furnished with comfortable beds, and the manor has a freestanding roll-top bath for those who want to soak after a day in the field. Meals are taken in the dining room - expect a full English breakfast each morning, a relaxed lunch, and a locally sourced three-course dinner in the evening. House drinks are included throughout your stay.
