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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
