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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Great stay. Rooms very comfortable and staff really friendly. However, although the food was delicious I thought the menu was very limited.

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

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.

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

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.
