Love staying here - fourth time.
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.

Long weekend away with friends and the dog .
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.

A very comfortable room (but if you're over 6 feet tall take a hard hat!), really comfortable bed, great shower, and lovely touches in the room on arrival such as a complimentary gin & tonic, carrot cake, and biscuits. The breakfasts were superb and room remarkably quiet considering it was directly above the main bar area.

We loved our room with all the thoughtful touches, including the complimentary Gin. The breakfast was delicious too. We wandered to the general store and the nursery, which just added to our enjoyment

We had an awesome time staying here and I was blown away by how good the staff were. The room was stunning. Beautiful bathroom and bed was so comfortable. Arrived to a delicious gin & tonic also. Only disappointment was our evening meal. Very expensive for a tiny chewy steak & cold piece of fish. Breakfast though was great. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Third time - excellent as ever
Excellent room facilities and welcome pack with sample G&T cookies and cake in room. Lovely Brew Dog teas and filter coffee also provided. Comfortable bed, good enclosed courtyard patio for our two dogs. Excellent breakfast and well stocked bar. Friendly service. Our third time of staying here - lovely footpath walks around the inn and great base for days out.

A fantastic West Norfolk hotel
Great service from the time we arrived, till the day we left.
The room was fantastic and we were presented with a welcoming G&T each!
Eat in the excellent restaurant on our first night and had a late lunch the following day. Must say the food is excellent

Kitchen fan/extractor noise
Lovely venue but extractor fan noise from kitchen made it hard to sleep. Would not book the room next to the kitchen if you are a light sleeper.

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
