Guests say
Guests consistently praise 'The Gypsy Knot' for its charm, cosiness, and the warm welcome provided by the host, Christine. The property's secluded private garden and historical significance add to its allure. Its proximity to the harbour and local amenities in Wells-next-the-Sea is highly appreciated, as are the thoughtful touches like the welcome hamper.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score for this category.
The location is frequently highlighted as central and convenient, within walking distance to the harbour and local attractions, contributing to a high score.
Many reviews mention the comfort of the accommodation, particularly the bed, and the cosy atmosphere, leading to a high score. However, one mention of discomfort for taller individuals slightly lowers the score.
While guests mention facilities such as a private garden and a welcome hamper, there is insufficient detail about the overall maintenance and range of facilities to provide a score.
The host's thoughtfulness is frequently commended, especially the welcome hamper, although it should be noted that such gifts, while delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
The Gypsy Knot is a beautifully quirky gypsy wagon hidden in the walled garden of an historic house, in the centre of the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk. A truly special hideaway find, you'll just love the hospitality and location.
Set in its own private walled garden, this magical gypsy wagon is filled with everything you need for a relaxing stay. It is full of quirks and wonderful features with its sliding double bed, fold-down kitchen area and pretty stove to keep you cosy on chillier evenings. There will be a welcome hamper with basics and some treats (of course!) on arrival. This should keep you going, but if you do want to cook, there is a lovely old fireplace which acts as a firepit/stove and barbecue, or there is a microwave inside the hut. If you would rather head out and try some of the local gastro pubs, you are certainly not short of choice! There are three pubs all within two minutes' walk around the beautiful Georgian village green 'The Buttlands'.
The wagon is in the grounds of Ware Hall, and the amazing history behind the house itself is almost as quirky as the wagon! The story of May Savidge is known by many, after being forced to demolish her much loved family home in Hertfordshire, she took it down, timber by timber, and brought the whole house to Wells-next-the-Sea where she single-handedly rebuilt the medieval Hall.

We stayed with you at the weekend in the Gipsy Knot and just wanted to say we had an amazing time. I love Wells anyway but staying there made my weekend so special and a great experience. All the lovely touches and care you put into it, is great. Down to the apples off the tree everything was great. Yes, we will be back again definitelyand thank you for having a great place and would love to hear the story of the place next time from you over a cup of tea or glass of wine.

A great quirky stay for us both from us. We enjoyed our stay in the gypsy caravan, it was lovely and fun, it was something different. Thank you
