The Gin Trap Inn

17th-century inn taking up to three dogs a room

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A coaching inn dating from 1668 in the village of Ringstead, inland from Old Hunstanton, with 12 rooms across the inn, suites and cottages. Most rooms take dogs, and dogs are welcome throughout the pub. It's one of the few places on this coast that takes three dogs in a room, with a one-off cleaning charge instead of a nightly fee. It suits a family with more than one dog and a car.

Why it's in the collection

Best suited for

Up to three dogs in most rooms, but four named rooms and The Loft have limits.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Dogs are welcome throughout the pub. Dog-friendly rooms are the Double, the Courtyard Kings, the Executive Kings and the cottages. The Loft takes one dog. Botanist, Bloom, Brockmans and Boodles, plus the Medium Twin and Large King inside the pub, are dog free.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
