Set in the pretty village of Peterchurch in the heart of Herefordshire’s Golden Valley, this welcoming cottage invites you to slow down and enjoy country life. Sleeping eight guests across three floors, it’s ideal for a multi-generational holiday or a getaway with friends. Fill your days with picturesque walks in the Black Mountains before savouring long, relaxing evenings in the wood-fired hot tub.

This characterful stone-built cottage has been lovingly refurbished to balance original charm with modern comforts. Exposed beams, oak flooring and a beautifully preserved bread oven hint at its heritage, while slate-finished bathrooms and thoughtful touches bring it into the 21st century. Enjoy sociable evenings in the kitchen/diner, get cooking in the contemporary, cottage-style kitchen before gathering around the farmhouse dining table. Then unwind in the spacious lounge, curled up with a book by the wood burner or catching up with your favourite TV shows. Four bedrooms are divided between the top two floors. Take your pick from a double and a twin alongside a family bathroom on the first floor, and an en-suite super-king-size plus a double bedroom set beneath the eaves on the second floor. The enclosed garden offers a peaceful spot to sip a morning cuppa or stargaze from the bubbling hot tub. Private parking is available for one car, with additional on-street parking subject to availability.

Lace up your walking boots and set out along the 7-mile circular Peterchurch Trail, pausing to explore the medieval village church. Hop in your car to explore nearby routes with the Neolithic burial chambers known as Arthur’s Stone, 4.5 miles north.

Cottage has bags of character and very modern. Bedrooms are spacious. Kitchen was tidy with all the mod cons. Outdoor tub was a lovely touch and have a food shop literally next door was handy.

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.
