The Gin Trap Inn restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.5
We decided to do a spontaneous weekend in Norfolk and booked a room in the Gin Trap using Hotels.com. On arrival it quickly became apparent that there was an issue with the Hotels.com booking site and the venue was completely unaware of our booking. They had one room left and without hesitation gave us this far more expensive room at the rate that we had paid on Hotles.com. The service that we received from every single member of staff was excellent. They were one of the most empathetic teams I have ever experienced. We had dinner there in the evening and were served by Rosie who was as exceptional with her service as all the other staff we had encountered. The food was one of the best meals I have tasted in a long time. Super dog friendly, clean, tidy and welcoming. I would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you to all the staff at the Gin Trap Inn for making our stay totally fantastic!!
