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.

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.

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.

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

Weekend with sis at the Gin Trap
I stayed in the ‘Bloom’room with my sister for two nights Staff kindly helped take our luggage upstairs The room was lovely very chic and a little bit rustic The beds were comfortable too The shower was good , nice size and plenty hot water and big fluffy towels and robes The TV reception was poor and the picture was breaking up but it did not really matter on this occasion. As there is no wardrobe a couple of coat/ dress hangers would’ve been useful to have. The hospitality tray was good but we were too full to eat the complimentary cakes and then they sadly vanished 😩 The evening meal was very nice, a real experience but perhaps a bit too ‘posh’ for us really and rather expensive when we were staying at the inn already . The outside seating area is very lovely especially in the ☀️ sunshine with a gin in hand Overall a pretty special stay for us Thankyou

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 .
