Bring your best friend to this handsome heritage property in Herefordshire’s unforgettable countryside, spending days exploring surrounding footpaths and pretty walking routes with your canine companion by your side. Blending original features with modern creature comforts, this attractive home is perfect for larger packs of relatives, couples or friends, accommodating eight guests and one canine friend. On its doorstep, discover never-ending walkies and beautiful sights, including adventures over the border into Wales, where the Black Mountains lie waiting with endless sticks for Fido to fetch.

Stone-flagged flooring, restored beams and exposed stone walls lend this country house a traditional charm. Hear the patter of paws as your dog explores the relaxing spaces of the ground floor, including the spacious kitchen/diner and delightful lounge. Creating a warm glow in one corner, the lounge features an original wood burner, inviting you to warm up toes and paws whilst watching the Smart TV in the evening.

We had a really lovely holiday in Steppes Cottage, Peterchurch - there were 6 adults, one 4 year old and a well behaved (mostly!) dog. The cottage is lovely and we enjoyed playing board games in the evening around the kitchen table. The bedrooms were all very comfortable although there was nowhere to hang our clothes up, except a couple of hooks Read moreon the back of the door. The living room was the only area that was not so comfortable - you walk straight into this room from outside and there is no where to leave shoes for 8 people, plus coats and scarves, etc, nor does the room seat 8 people! And lastly, although we were attracted to the cottage because of the hot tub, this was impossible to use as it did not heat up to temperature - unless someone is prepared to miss out on days out and spend all their time tending the fire whilst the rest of us go out for the day, I cannot see how the tub can be useable. However, again, none of this detracted from the lovely holiday and the friendly people we met in Peterchurch and Hay on Wye, and we would recommend Steppes Cottage to our family and friends, whilst pointing out what to, and what not to expect.
