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.

Top quality stay

Lovely stay. Superb service especially at breakfast. Very high quality accommodation and lots of nice touches - complimentary gin and tonic in room, fresh coffee, dog treats and poo bags, dressing gowns etc. Staff very friendly and polite.

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.

We loved our room with all the thoughtful touches, including the complimentary Gin. The breakfast was delicious too. We wandered to the general store and the nursery, which just added to our enjoyment
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Fantastic night stay, made very special by the extra touches( gin in room, birthday card and dog treats for Daisy our cocker spaniel).Location is excellent, we spent the day at the beach and returned to relax at the Gin Traps garden setting with a gin of course. Evening meal and breakfast were superb 👌 Thank you, we will be back

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

The food is abolutely first class with excellent service at luunch in the bar and out evening meal. Good choice on both menus, We would rate it 11/10

Lovely 2 night break

Lovely 2 night break at the Gin Trap. Staff very friendly & helpful, room was spacious & comfortable with a huge bathroom. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices & high quality food. Pretty area with easy access to the North Norfolk coast & a lovely circular walk from the inn, would definitely recommend a stay here.

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.

Third time - excellent as ever

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.
Marina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Amanda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent 2 day in a lovely part of the country.

Lovely 2 night stay . The bed and bedding were the most comfortable place we’ve ever stayed, 2 drinks of G & T in our room, pastries , everything about the place speaks class and good quality. Breakfast ample and good choice , flexible in adding or reducing items on the menu. Outside area stunning . Only thing we would say to improve it is add some more meat dishes to the main menu or Tapas style dishes . Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay .

Kitchen fan/extractor noise

Lovely venue but extractor fan noise from kitchen made it hard to sleep. Would not book the room next to the kitchen if you are a light sleeper.

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.

Overall Good

Room was very nice and comfortable and lovely and clean. Unfortunately there wasn’t a residents lounge only the pub bar area. The breakfast was extremely good although we were disappointed with the Sunday lunch as the portions were small and at £25 for the main course we would have expected more on the plate!
