Host Info
Sheila & Steve have owned Somerville House since March 2018. We absolutely love this house and garden with its original Victorian features. We have a wonderful team who help us to look after it. We moved from the Greater Manchester area to build a new life in the countryside. Living in Hereford we are lucky to have both city and countryside on our doorstep. We enjoy welcoming our guests and we are happy to help with getting the most from their stay with us. Our hobbies include dining out at the many lovely restaurants, pubs and inns and enjoy being outdoors pottering in our garden or viewing the surrounding countryside. We have a resident very old westie who isn't allowed in the B&B but enjoys meeting guests in the garden.
Bodenham Road is a lovely quiet tree lined road. Our guests say its lovely to be so close to the historic city centre but still be able to wake up to the birds singing. The road is mainly big old Victorian properties similar to Somerville House. You can sit on our south facing patio and enjoy the sun whilst listening to the chimes of the Cathedral which is very close by.
