About this property
Resting in the grounds of the beautiful, Grade II listed Pengethley Manor in Peterstow, Herefordshire is Horsebox 1. This quirky, converted horsebox has been thoughtfully renovated providing unique accommodation for couples looking to explore the Wye Valley and all Herefordshire has to offer; it also benefits from access to the shared grounds which overlook King Charles’ land as well as an outdoor swimming pool. Follow the steps up into the open-plan living space to find a fully-equipped kitchen with electric oven and hob, microwave, and fridge where your partner can pamper you with delicious meals. Dine at the intimate table before stepping out to enjoy the swimming pool; when the stars fill the sky, sink into the sofa in front of the TV to catch up on your favourite shows ahead of washing off the day in the sleek shower room. When sleep calls, climb the ladder to the double bed above the driver’s cabin to slope off to a well-earned sleep. Make cherished memories with the one you love most at Horsebox 1.
You may find this ancient village close to Ross-on-Wye and The Forest of Dean; it is surrounded by picturesque, unspoilt countryside in Herefordshire and has two excellent pubs and a well-stocked general store. With the Herefordshire Trail and the Wye Valley Walk both going through the village, there are a tonne of great opportunities for hikes and bike trips. You may take a stroll along the River Wye, go on a leisurely cruise on the river, or view the countryside from a hot-air balloon while in the market town of Ross-on-Wye, which is home to several Tudor timbered houses, a 17th-century market hall, unique shops, and restaurants. Close by lies England's largest oak forest, the majestic Royal Forest of Dean, where you may enjoy a wide variety of outdoor pursuits like cycling, horseback riding, abseiling, canoeing, and countless scenic hikes. Hereford, with its interesting Mappa Mundi world map and chained library, Hay-on-Wye, known as "the town of books," Ledbury, with its many food and drink festivals, the majestic Black Mountains, and the gorgeous Brecon Beacons National Park are all within easy travelling distance.
