About The Gin Trap Inn

Tucked along the High Street in the quiet Norfolk village of Ringstead, The Gin Trap Inn sits within easy reach of the coast, giving guests a base that feels rural yet convenient for exploring the shoreline and surrounding countryside. The village setting is unhurried, with the pub itself acting as a natural hub for locals and visitors alike.

Rooms are en-suite and include family options and accessible accommodation, so the inn suits a range of travellers. Breakfast is included, and the on-site restaurant and bar serve food throughout the day, with kids' meals and packed lunches available for those heading out for the day. A garden and outdoor seating area add space to relax outside, while free WiFi, drinks in the room, luggage storage and 24 hour reception cover the practical side of a stay. Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward.

Beyond the inn, the area offers cycling routes, fishing, golf, horse riding and watersports nearby, along with other pubs, restaurants and entertainment within reach. It's a fitting setting for a traditional village inn, with the Norfolk coast and countryside forming the backdrop to any stay.
