Finest Retreats | The West Wing at Gypsy Hall
The West Wing at Gypsy Hall is a cosy and comfortable cottage with plenty of characterful features which is the ideal spot for a relaxing break. The cottage has a homely feel to it and its large gardens and quiet location make it popular with couples and young families.
With parts dating back to the 1700s, guests will enjoy the exposed beams, angled walls and plenty of charm! The open plan, kitchen, living and dining area make for a social space whilst cooking and relaxing of an evening.
The bathroom with the shower-over-bath as well as a separate WC are located on the ground floor, while both bedrooms are to be found upstairs. The low height ceilings on the landing and sloping eves of the bedrooms help create a quaint feeling to the cottage. The main bedroom has a double bed and the second bedroom is primarily a single but a pull-out bed can be arranged to sleep a fourth if required.
The West Wing at Gypsy Hall is accessed via a short, rough track and lies adjacent to the owner’s home. There is ample parking at the front of the cottage for two cars.
The large garden is enclosed and has a handy summer house which can be enjoyed in the summer months. It is surrounded by fields and paddocks which are home to the owner’s beautiful horses. The local pub which also serves food is only half a mile down the road and within very easy walking distance.
The property is perfectly located for exploring the surrounding towns and villages which have plenty to offer. The nearby Newmarket offers lots of places to eat, drink and shop, and also has the famous racecourse which has a number of well-attended meets over the course of the year. Here you will also find free tours and The National Horse Racing Museum.
The popular University town of Cambridge also lies within easy reach - guests can wander in and out of the colleges when the students are not in town and in the summer months enjoy punting on the river.

Cosy Cottage in Cambridgeshire Countryside
This is a lovely well appointed cottage, spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds. It is clearly a period property with low ceilings in most rooms, narrow stairs and a beam in the floor of the main bedroom. All of this adds to its charm but would be unsuitable for anyone with mobility difficulties. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and Rob the owner who lives in the adjoining property was helpful but unobtrusive. We recommend The Three Blackbirds in nearby Wooditton and any trips into Cambridge are easiest via the Fulbourn exit of the A11. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Another wonderful holiday
Our third time in this cosy cottage. As before, everything was perfect. The cottage is comfortable with a big garden, very well equipped and located conveniently close to a train station (Dullingham) for visits to Cambridge etc. We also enjoyed a dinner in the local pub, The Bull, and long walks in the area. People here are really friendly and welcoming.
A big Thank You to Robbie for being such a great host! We enjoyed our stay a lot, and will be back.

Another wonderful stay at West Wing of Gypsy Hall
We immensely enjoyed our second stay at this beautiful, cosy, well equipped cottage. The large garden invites you to relax, read and watch the numerous birds. We recommend a walk on the Devil's Ditch between Dullingham and Newmarket.
