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.

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.

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.
