Great food and accommodation at this beautifully located North Norfolk Coast country inn
Just a mile from Hunstanton and the North Norfolk Coast, the Gin Trap Inn advertises itself as providing modern British food in a 17th-century inn – words to quicken the pulse of any pub lover, and we're happy to say that they deliver on both counts. Based in the village of Ringstead, this ancient inn is all about making the most of Norfolk’s bounty to create great seasonal food. Not only that, it also has nine very comfortable bedrooms and suites for overnight stays, and three, two-bedroom cottages for those who prefer to self-cater. At the end of 2024, Chestnut took over the pub.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of the English countryside, the historic pub embraces provenance, sourcing the finest ingredients from land, shore and sea to create an innovative menu that celebrates the best of British produce. With strong relationships with local suppliers, The Gin Trap serves seasonal, hearty food. Families, visitors, and dogs are warmly welcomed.
The rooms (and two split-level suites) are cosy and comfy, each one different in size and shape but all furnished with a mixture of antiques that give them real character while not dispensing with modern comforts. They all come with WiFi, Smart TVs, handmade pocket-sprung mattresses, Egyptian cotton sheets, plush duck-down duvets, and spacious en-suite bathrooms with robes and toiletries. They also have tea- and coffee-making facilities (Brew Tea and Butterworth & Sons artisan ground coffee) and provide complimentary still and sparkling mineral water. The cottages are similarly well-appointed, with two double bedrooms each and lots of living space, including a contemporary fitted kitchen.
Dogs are welcome in most rooms (a few inside the pub are dog-free), and you'll want to get out and about. You're well positioned for exploring the nature reserves at Snettisham and Titchwell, Holkham Beach and multiple other coastal attractions. You’re also never far from some superb country walks, including a seven-mile loop you can do from the doorstep.
