A great base for a little R & R!
Lovely hideaway to recharge our batteries, but with so much to explore within a short distance. Alcester itself has lots of old world charm, and that's easily within walking distance. Stratford is also within a short drive away. All in all, this is a really lovely little property. It has everything you could want. The superking bed makes for a really good nights sleep. Wi fi & sky (huge) tv complete the perfect package. We weren't able to make use of the garden or river views as it was the first snowfall of the winter ( Nov 24) but in warmer weather, this would be the "icing on the cake". Can certainly 100% recommend. monthd. charm

Loved it! Caroline and Paul were just lovely and never intrusive. The cottage was small and perfect for two. It was very clean as well. The garden was gorgeous and as we had good weather ideal to chill with a book. The location was spot on just a short walk to Alcester.

Lovely stay
We had a lovely time at Heronview. The accommodation was brilliant just right for the two of us. Our hosts were great and it was good to meet the dogs and bantems. Its such a peaceful spot by the river. The area is lovely ideal for walks and Alcester is very picturesque. Its a great spot for visiting the surrounding area like Stratford-upon-Avon and Evesham. We look forward to visiting again.
