We stayed in the Stable Room. Beautiful room, nice sitting area on the ground floor with big bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Fun pub in the main building with the restaurant in the back. We had breakfast and dinner there two days and all meals were very good with wonderful service. Highly recommended.

Great place

Such a special visit for our anniversary weekend, staying in the dog-friendly gallery with our greyhound. Lovely cosy inn with plenty of thoughtful touches. Loved the soft ambient lighting, the reusable v high quality toiletries, and the fabulous in-room bath. They were so accommodating of our dog, he had his own little package made up with a local walk and some treats - lovely touch. The food is absolutely stand-out. We ate here two evenings in a row and for breakfast. The menu is superb - really creative and interesting, fantastic flavours. That said, my highlight was actually very simple - the lincolnshire poacher twice baked souffle, insane! And the incredible chocolate, cherry and pistachio delice. Can't wait to come back. Staff are so lovely, all around a fantastic experience, and I'm surprised that the prices for the accommodation are so reasonable. 

Lovely cosy inn with showstopping food

Went here for a drink whilst on holiday.  It's a great place with a lovely seating area outside - looks great. We didn't get the chance to eat here on this trip but we'll definitely be back next time we visit to try the food!

Lovely place

Another excellent 2 night stay at the Gin Trap. We stayed in Brockmans, which is a lovely large room above the bar. Huge bathroom with a free standing bath and separate walk in shower. 2 miniature gin and tonics, bottled water and fresh milk for the room on arrival. Be aware the rooms above the bar are accessed via a steep staircase so may not be suitable for everyone. The bar is great, full of character and with a real fire. Bar staff are friendly and helpful. Dogs are welcome in the bar and are well looked after.
The food is high end restaurant quality. It is not, and does not pretend to be ‘pub grub’. The kitchen uses top notch produce therefore is not cheap, however, it is delicious and not expensive for the quality. Bread with home made black garlic butter was lovely. The cheese soufflé starter is delicious. I’ve eaten cheese soufflé in lots of restaurants and this was one of the best. My partner loved the spelt porridge with deboned crispy chicken wings. Mains of cod with champagne sauce and tempura vegetables and halibut wrapped in seafood were both tremendous. Steak on the second night was perfectly cooked, with a lovely bernaise sauce and triple cooked fries which were almost like chip shaped roast potatoes. Some people have said the portions are small, however, we didn’t find that with the courses we had and we have good appetites. 
Breakfast had a good choice of fresh pastries, cereal, smoothies etc as well as options for a cooked breakfast, smoked salmon and eggs on a muffin or French toast. Unlike the last time we stayed dogs were allowed into the restaurant areas for breakfast which made it a little noisy one morning.
All the staff, whether at breakfast, dinner or in the bar were unfailingly friendly, efficient and helpful. They genuinely seemed to want you to have a good time. We will definitely return.
Our one small gripe (and it may have just been a teething problem from a new electronic order system installed the day before) is that when we checked out a 10% service charge had been added for every bar transaction. That’s fine for drinks ordered at dinner and brought to the table, however, it seemed a little excessive to be charged 10% service for a beer or glass of wine ordered at the bar.

Lovely pub, great rooms, superb food

Lovely cozy pub, staff all really friendly. We stayed for 2 nights and our room (Bloom) was very inviting, the bed was very comfortable, in fact struggled to want to get out of it each morning for breakfast, but glad we did as was excellent. We didn’t eat there in the evening though as husband vegetarian and only 1 option, which he didn’t fancy, however, we did find an excellent cozy old pub nearby in Thornham and came back to Gin Trap after for cozy drinks by the fire. Loved our stay and hope to return again next year.

Loved it

Wife and I stayed, sadly only for one night visiting family in area.  Excellent experience.  Room was spotless, bed was comfy, room was warm and inviting.  Bathroom was small but very adequate.  Breakfast was excellent (Both of us had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs).

Good experience.

I had tried to book a night at the Gin Trap for a while but it was always fully booked, now I know why. This was one of the best places we have ever stayed in, if not the best. I have stayed in similar atmospheric country pubs but what made this stand out from the rest was the food, it was stunning. The previous week we had dined in a 5 Star Mayfair Hotel but this beat it all ends up. The menu was imaginative and so original, I've never heard of Smoked Mash Potato before which was a show stopper. The staff could not have been more helpful, even explaining how to make Smoked Mash!

Fantastic 

We spent new year at this fantastic pub. Great party laid on. Food always exceptional, entertainment great and staff never fail to impress. It was a relaxed atmosphere no stuffy sit down meal just a good old fashion knees up.with people wanting to have a good time. Thanks to David and his team for making it one of the best New Year’s Eve we’ve had in a long time. Happy New Year.

Fantastic New Year’s Eve at a great pub.

The staff are so warm and welcoming.  The restaurant area is lovely and spacious.  We all had the fish pie which was excellent!  The four of us had a really good time and it is well worth a visit if you are in the area but not necessarily staying in the hotel itself..  Parking is good too.  All round very pleased.

Eating in the restaurant

We stayed at the gin trap in June whist visiting family we found the accommodation called the stable to be absolutely fantastic even with the welcoming gin and tonic waiting for us as we opened the door!! Staff were exceptionally friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them we were made to feel very welcome and will definitely be staying there again soon hopefully. Food was excellent and breakfast in the morning had such variety for all to enjoy.
Well done everyone for making our stay absolutely perfect thank you.
