About

Located only a stone's throw from the scenic North Norfolk coast, The Gin Trap is found in the heart of Ringstead, a charming village surrounded by the natural beauty of the English countryside. The pub itself has a characterful history welcoming all guests since 1668, be they locals, visitors, families with children and dogs.

Named in The Sunday Times 100 Best Places to Stay in 2025, our guest rooms are tastefully and beautifully designed, honouring the original charm and character of the coaching inn. Using a unique combination of rich colours, textures and patterns creates a tailored finish and sumptuous feel to each of our 12 rooms. You will find antique furnishings, fine textiles and an unmatched attention to detail along with the usual comforts of the perfect home from home stay.

We welcome dogs as overnight guests in our Double bedroom, our Courtyard King bedrooms, our Executive King bedrooms and the cottages.
