The Gin Trap Inn

Had a lovely 3 days at The Gin Trap. We stayed with family in Compasses, beautiful cottage. We ate in the restaurant on Saturday evening, the food was superb and a great atmosphere. Breakfasts were also delicious and the staff in the restaurant so friendly, particularly at breakfast. We were pleased to receive complementary gin and tonics and carrot cake, we were celebrating our son's 30th birthday, don't know if the cake was for that as nothing was said about his birthday, tbh I was slightly surprised at that, however the cake was tasty, thank you! Great to have still and sparkling water too. Overall we had a lovely weekend. A few small things, when checking out we felt the process a bit unfriendly, payment was taken but no thanks for staying or questions on how it was, felt strange and not great customer service. Also Sunday afternoons in summer is vinyl and BBQ, fab vibes and music but over by 7pm and no bar food available in the evening, it wasn't a problem for us but we had been advised the restaurant was closed Sundays but there would still bar food options.

Standard of room, service, food above all expectation. I cannot recommend highly enough. We were made so welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room though small, was full of character, perfect for our stay. Food was out of this world! Keep up the good work all.. hope to be back soon

Disappointing experience overall. While the bar staff are commendable for their service, the mismanagement of the restaurant leaves much to be desired. It's perplexing that steak is advertised on the menu but unavailable in the bar area, forcing patrons to seek dining alternatives elsewhere. As a local, it's disheartening to resort to ordering takeaway from nearby establishments due to the pub's lack of accommodation. Management should seriously reconsider their approach to customer satisfaction.

Oh, here's the place for a bit of pampering on the edge of the Norfolk coast. We've been to North Norfolk many times. It's a haven for people seeking escape for the city who want good food, informal service, exquisite accommodation. Many places may do that, but the Gin Trap does it effortlessly. The accommodation has every attention to detail - milk in a thermos flask, fresh coffee, treats for the dogs. ut it's in the restaurant where you see the lovely relaxed service, the simple menu of local product, the accomplished cooking. We had an amazing evening meal, washed down by some superb non-eye-watering wines, and a stunning breakfast the following morning. The Gin Trap is definitely a trap - and one I'm more than happy to become ensnared in again in the future.

Fantastic weekend stay in ‘the stables’. Customer service was first class, accommodation was like a home from home - well appointed, clean and warm with some great welcome gifts. Food in the restaurant (dinner & breakfast) was excellent throughout. The ‘Cote du boeuf’ special was absolutely fabulous and the Cheese Soufflé a firm favourite.

This was our 3rd weekend at The Gin Trap and the second time we took Mr B. He had his own welcome pack, bowl and towel and was made every bit as welcome as everyone made us. Beautifully equipped rooms and gorgeous food We're all booked to go back in October.

Superb dinner mid week in pretty Norfolk village. It was a busy service that evening but great service with delicious and imaginative food with great service and a comprehensive wine list. It’s a long way from Cornwall but worth the journey.

We stayed in the Stable Room. Beautiful room, nice sitting area on the ground floor with big bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Fun pub in the main building with the restaurant in the back. We had breakfast and dinner there two days and all meals were very good with wonderful service. Highly recommended.

Such a special visit for our anniversary weekend, staying in the dog-friendly gallery with our greyhound. Lovely cosy inn with plenty of thoughtful touches. Loved the soft ambient lighting, the reusable v high quality toiletries, and the fabulous in-room bath. They were so accommodating of our dog, he had his own little package made up with a local walk and some treats - lovely touch. The food is absolutely stand-out. We ate here two evenings in a row and for breakfast. The menu is superb - really creative and interesting, fantastic flavours. That said, my highlight was actually very simple - the lincolnshire poacher twice baked souffle, insane! And the incredible chocolate, cherry and pistachio delice. Can't wait to come back. Staff are so lovely, all around a fantastic experience, and I'm surprised that the prices for the accommodation are so reasonable.
