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.

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!

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

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.

Short break
Staff were really helpful and friendly; the room was comfortable with everything that we needed although it was starting to look a little tired. I did trip over the rug which was past its best. Even with this we enjoyed our stay.

Excellent 3-day stay.
My wife and I stayed in The Loft here for three nights. The room itself is lovely. A little bit quirky, but has a very comfortable large bed and is very quiet. The bathroom was great (a bath and a shower) and there was always loads of hot water. We ate in the restaurant the first night we were there and were very impressed with the quality of the food. An Isle of Wight tomato starter was particularly good, as was the mackerel starter and hake main course I had. All were beautifully presented and very tasty. The breakfast included in the accommodation cost was excellent. A great choice of continental breakfast items (yoghurts, croissants, toast, etc, etc) and hot items - the full English was great, with one of the best black puddings I have ever had! All in all, a very enjoyable stay. We ate in the bar for the other two nights and they were happy to serve us a few starters and/or the small plates they offer to share. All were excellent. The drinks were good, with many gins (as you'd expect) but also a decent wine list and a choice of beers and lagers. All the staff (reception, bar staff, restaurant staff) were friendly and very helpful.

Long weekend
Very enjoyable stay, very dog friendly and staff were welcoming and attentive at all times. Would definitely recommend, the only slight glitch was that one day our bathroom was not cleaned/refreshed which was a very minor issue, however hard to find fault with anything else. We ate in the restaurant one evening, and it is an expensive meal, this is not a complaint just an acknowledgement that it is the fine dining bracket in our opinion.

We stayed in the stables room for our anniversary and we had a perfect stay. The room was really nice, especially nice having upstairs too, a real cottage feel. We booked food in the restaurant and I can honestly say that it was one of the best meals that we have had, with great service too.

Super Weekend Retreat!!
This was a really lovely place to stay. We stayed in the Loft which was cozy and quiet, with a lovely bathroom and very comfortable bed. We ate at the restaurant which was superb. All the staff were lovely, helpful and friendly, in fact it was like being amongst friends. Service was absolutely faultless. Hope to visit again.
