Love staying here - fourth time.

Love staying here - fourth time, first time for a ‘winter’ break so could enjoy sitting by the fire in the bar lounge area. Great base for day trips to Brancaster, Holkham and Old Hunstanton. Fab breakfast. Enjoyed the pub menu meals as we had two dogs with us. And there was welcome cake and G&T in room on arrival plus quality Brew Tea teas which we could top up as and when needed.

A fantastic West Norfolk hotel

Great service from the time we arrived, till the day we left. The room was fantastic and we were presented with a welcoming G&T each! Eat in the excellent restaurant on our first night and had a late lunch the following day. Must say the food is excellent

Great weekend break location

Second visit to the Gin Trap Inn. Lovely comfortable room (Brockmans) albeit a little dark...perhaps some brighter bulbs in the wall lights on dimmers? We ate in the restaurant on our first night ad the food was excellent. Highly recommend the duck starter. Overall, extremely comfortable with some nice touches such as a locally distilled gin and tonic upon arrival.

A very nice Inn, good beers and very good food

First time in Norfolk. Chose the Gin Trap Inn as a base to explore the area. Rooms were very nice, well decorated with good features. The food was very good. Stay included breakfast, which was excellent quality, certainly better than a lot of places we’ve stayed at. Bar areas indoors and a nice outdoors, we spent all our time outside as the weather was fantastic. Had a few bar meals which were good quality. This is a place that serves very good quality food, it’s not a standard pub selling standard pub grub. Staff were very friendly. I’d recommend the Gin Trap Inn.

A little gem

Receptionists warm and welcoming. Showed us to our room which was perfect for our one night stay. Lovely little extras in the room such as gin & tonics, strawberry tartlets and a card wishing us a happy anniversary. Room well appointed with everything you need. Free fresh milk and bottled water available from a fridge next to reception. Ate in the bar area in the evening and was presented with a lovely plate of petit fours as a gift after our meal. Delicious. Maybe an offering of more regular types of bar food would be nice but appreciate there is a restaurant for fine dining in the next room so kitchens may not have the capacity to cater for this. Lots of guests stayed with their well behaved four legged friends so would recommend a stay here if you wish to take your dog. Not to far from Hunstanton so a perfect location. Thank you Gin Trap Inn for a wonderful stay and we look forward to visiting again.

Lovely dog friendly hotel in beautiful Norfolk

Lovely boutique style hotel. We stayed in the Warren dog friendly room with large wet room with safety rails which was a nice surprise as I needed a walk in shower due to mobility issues. Nice enclosed patio at the back for our dog who was very happy with all the attention from the staff at breakfast especially the sausages. Fan in room very useful as room got very hot and couldnt leave door to patio open due to flies which is no fault of the hotel. Nice touch of welcome G & T and homemade cookies. Lovely outside bar area with comfy seating and large parasols for shade. The only thing I could fault was the very limited menu for dinner, only 4/5 main meal options and 4 desserts. What we did have was good but would of liked more options. Breakfast however was anazing, loved the whisky porridge and the cooked Norfolk breakfast.

Not quite the experience we expected based on a recent glowing write up in The Times which informed my decision to book 2 night stay for my husband’s birthday. Very limited restaurant menu - only 1 vegetarian main option. Husband had pie that was recommended- small portion, disproportionately served compared to the size of mash & cabbage. I Requested a side salad to add to my starter as didn’t want the only vegetarian menu on offer. This was poor in terms of lots of lettuce leaves, 3 tomatoes & a few shavings of radishes- disappointing Food offer not good value. Staff friendly but made us aware they are in transitional phase with recent takeover plans of the business, they are awaiting a chef, lots of staff have left etc. Doesn’t fill you with confidence. Our room was nice but a very small bathroom, shower needed a deep clean. Housekeeping did not leave us clean towels, despite clearly visible our towels had been used & were damp! Had to keep asking for clean cafeterire to be replaced & milk to make coffee & tea as no fridge in room. Fire alarm went off at 10pm - false alarm then fire service arrived. Told by staff they have faulty system & thus had occurred several times recently! They have a nice wood burner which we sat in chairs in front of, but this was not lit, instead had a fan heater next to it to keep us warm, not sure if they don’t bother in the week & only lit at weekends? Seemed odd & a ’can’t be bothered’ approach Would not rush back- should have been better

Had a wonderful three-night stay at The Gin Trap Inn during May 2025. We stayed in The Stables room with our young dog - it was her first trip away so she was a bit excited and nervous, which she demonstrated by barking more than she should ! The hotel staff were wonderful, dealing with her politely and lessening our embarrassment. Our room was super, with both a shower and a bath, lots of little extras like some cakes in our room on arrival and, despite being on the courtyard of the Inn, was surprisingly quiet. There was even a fridge downstairs - handy for storing dog food. The Inn's location is handy for the beach (drive there) and is a short walk from a village store and garden nursery - both worth a visit in themselves. Parking is limited - but there is an area at the back for residents which is quite tight. The food at the Inn was first class, you could taste the quality in the ingredients. We had both the breakfast (included) and evening meals and can thoroughly recommend both. We will definitely return as soon as we can. The only issue we had was a confusion over payment when we checked out. Having booked via Expedia I contacted them and the issue was soon resolved between them with a full refund issued to me. Again can't recommend the Gin Trap Inn highly enough.

Long weekend away with friends and the dog .

Definitely worth a visit.! The Brewhouse cottage was cosy but perfectly formed. The attention to details made it feel so luxurious . G&Ts on the table waiting along side some brownies and shortbread treats! Not to mention treats for our dog ! Beautifully presented lovely breakfasts and evening meals. Thoroughly recommend staying. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, ready to help in any way they could.

We had an awesome time staying here and I was blown away by how good the staff were. The room was stunning. Beautiful bathroom and bed was so comfortable. Arrived to a delicious gin & tonic also. Only disappointment was our evening meal. Very expensive for a tiny chewy steak & cold piece of fish. Breakfast though was great. I would definitely recommend staying here.

A very comfortable room (but if you're over 6 feet tall take a hard hat!), really comfortable bed, great shower, and lovely touches in the room on arrival such as a complimentary gin & tonic, carrot cake, and biscuits. The breakfasts were superb and room remarkably quiet considering it was directly above the main bar area.

Excellent room facilities and welcome pack with sample G&T cookies and cake in room. Lovely Brew Dog teas and filter coffee also provided. Comfortable bed, good enclosed courtyard patio for our two dogs. Excellent breakfast and well stocked bar. Friendly service. Our third time of staying here - lovely footpath walks around the inn and great base for days out.
