    There wasn't anything that we didn't like.

    We loved the pub and its facilities, it had a wonderful outside area but the inside of the pub was just as cosy. The food was outstanding, a little more expensive than normal 'pub grub' but fabulous food and the breakfast was excellent. Our room was beautiful and it was all dog friendly.

    Unfortunately our choices for dinner were not sent to the kitchen after taking our order and therefore our food was very late coming out. No one explained this or apologised until we complained that we had been waiting well over an hour and a half for food.

    Room was lovely and comfortable. Bar staff extremely friendly and helpful.

    We stayed in the pasture and it was a little too hot overnight - the fan provided was very loud, but the receptionist replaced it with a quieter fan the next day which was great.

    We had another lovely stay at the gin trap! Exquisite decor. Such friendly staff. Love the personal touches. The kitchen is first class!

    Wine and bar drinks vey very expensive. £16.00 for two dry sherries is taking the mick. ( A bottle of good Fino costs around £10.00.) Appreciate the Inn has to make a profit, but sky high prices will deter customers.

    Room lovely, staff excellent, really good breakfast. Restaurant food really good, but maybe not to all people's taste.

    We liked everything! There really wasn't anything we didn't like.

    Our room (apartment) was perfect - nicely appointed with everything to hand that we could wish for. The bed was really comfortable. The toiletries in the bathroom were lovely and we liked the reusable bottles with great smelling toiletries. Loved the gin and tonic welcome drink in the apartment. The variety of dishes available for breakfast was wide and the quality of the food very good. Regarding the dinner menu, the quality of the dishes that we had was way above that normally experienced in a pub restaurant, in fact it was more akin to a fine dining experience. The service in the dining area was second to none.

    Our room was the smaller one and would only be suitable for a minimalist couple, in my opinion (we were two friends and it wasn't comfortable - no storage or space). They didn't make up the room, just changed a bottle of water which was a shame for the price. There was also a drain outside that if you stepped on splashed you with water. You really do have to book dinner as they get very busy but the food is worth it. If I could change one thing, it would be that they rented out bikes! Prime location for a bike ride.

    Great food and fabulous staff. Location is great for visiting the coast.

    We would prefer normal pub food. We found the one meal we had tasty but sparse and expensive. Although breakfasts we liked.

    Our room The Warren was very comfortable with nice big shower room and a private patio. Appreciated the complimentary Gin Trap gins and our dogs gift with map of local walk. The breakfasts were good. The staff were very friendly and paid a lot of attention to our dog, so he was very happy. We would stay again if in the area.

    I received two reminders reference our future stay which included Dogs were not allowed within the Restaurant only in the Bar. This did not effect us as we did not have a Dog. However, on the second morning of our stay, Dogs were in the Restaurant at Breakfast. In my opinion it would be wise to follow printed information as you may have problems should a guest be concerned to find Dogs within the Restaurant.

    Well run hotel with excellent staff and good food. We enjoyed our stay.

    Outstanding pub on NCN 1 near Hunstanton, worth booking well in advance for

    • Stayed 1 night

    This lovely old pub on National Cycle Route 1 immediately appealed with its big chestnut tree standing in front and row of former stables creating a front courtyard with a few bar tables to get the evening sun and sink a welcome pint (we'd cycled there on a warm day). Inside though, the place has been transformed into a foodie paradise, with an exceptional restaurant as well as bar meals and a large, beautifully appointed beer garden with weathered furniture, rugs and covered areas to while away a summer evening. Our newish room was right at the back, dead quiet, and included its own small patio. Excellent shower and a comfortable bed, super friendly and attentive staff, just a real treat near the North Norfolk coast.

    We were disappointed that the room was not refreshed on our second day, and the coffee facilities were not replenished I feel that for the price of the stay the rooms should be done daily

    The staff were excellent and were able to upgrade us as I could manage stairs to room, very friendly and even produced a birthday card for me The extras in the room were great and the opportunity to have fresh milk was perfect for the room

    The room was lovely but the decoration was a little tired. The en-suite was a little cramped with no window with an ill-fitting toilet seat.

    The location was perfect and the property was cosy and comfortable. The super king-sized bed was really very comfortable, we had everything we needed in the room, the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was fabulous.
