Reviews

we have stayed at the same cottage for many years, will always visit annually.

Mrs Claudia H,

Everything was great. It was a privilege to stay in a house of such antiquity and the location was amazing. While some may find the stairs a challenge we absolutely loved them. The only thing to mention is that there was no parking permit which the website stated as being there. We had to call the owners about it who let us know this is no longer available. This was not a problem though but possibly had it been in high season it may have been. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hucksteps Row.

Mr Cameron I,
