  • Inn Details

    Set in beautiful Herefordshire countryside yet only minutes from Hereford City centre, The Steppes Bed & Breakfast offers stylish accommodation with a hint of country. A taste of ancient English history at its best, yet with the luxury you would expect from a top rate bed and breakfast establishment. An historical building in its own right, The Steppes is said to date back to the 16th Century when Henry VIII was King of England and England was torn by the Restoration. Although we are located in the heart of some very pretty Herefordshire countryside, we have adapted our facilities to enable everyone to enjoy the location. There are three delightful ensuite rooms, contained within a new extension and annexe to the house, offering the highest standards of comfort. Full accessability is provided to all rooms. As mentioned above, The Steppes dates back to 1530, and today is a happy home for Lin and Martin. Lin is a keen advocate for self-sufficiency and as such has a large vegetable plot stocked with supplies for the year, plus chickens, sheep and bees. If the bees have been busy this year, there will be honey available for sale – just ask Lin for details. Breakfast eggs are supplied courtesy of Lin’s chickens and all ingredients are sourced from local Hereford suppliers where possible. Each room has been lavishly furnished with the latest designs and equipped with crisp white bed linen and fluffy white towels, WiFi, Freeview colour TVs, tea and coffee making facilities. Large windows look out to the gardens and pond, offering pleasant views at any time of the year. We have one double, a second double room with two single beds available and one twin/king size room. Dogs, teens, walkers, cyclists are all welcome. Lin and Martin, your hosts, are both keen to bring you an experience you will want to repeat, whether you are on holiday or on a business trip. They will assist with local knowledge and eateries
