Reviews
"The owners could not have been more friendly and helpful. The cottage was beautiful with a large lounge and perfect shower room. It had everything you would need for a holiday with a fully equipped kitchen (including a large fridge freezer). The Scenery was lovely with the River Wye at the bottom of the garden. Fishing is available for the garden stretch and two other stretches nearby. There is a large patio which was full of blooming flowers at the time of my stay and I would recommend this cottage to anybody looking for a quiet relaxing holiday - but bear in mind that Hereford with all it's facilities is only a short drive away"
"there is no hedge/fence between this and the next door (the Swans, same owner). only a short trellis."
"Stayed here in January for a quiet weekend break. Fantastic property, spotlessly clean and Denise the owner was great from booking, directions and meet and greet, nothing was too much trouble. The views over the garden to the river were beautiful. I took the opportunity to fish the river and the owner arranged this for me. I would recommend this for anybody wanting a peaceful country break with plenty to do and see in the area."
"We wanted a relaxed getaway and this accommodation was just perfect. Herons is a home from home with everything you can want, it was so clean and comfortable with plenty of room. It is situated in a superb location with the river wye running through the garden which was well kept. The views were beautiful and plenty of wildlife. The owner Denise was a real treasure and so friendly and accomadating. So if you want a jewel this is a must."
"Excellent host, quiet, peaceful location with lots of interesting places nearby. The quality of accommodation was fantastic and we would highly recommend a stay. We definitely hope to stay there again. he nearby farm shop and garden centre is well worth a visit."
"The Herons is about 8 miles west of Hereford and not far off the main road. The Herons is one of two single bedroom apartments built underneath the owners beautiful house. The other apartment being called "Swans". Do not be put off by this layout as privacy is adequate and you are not overlooked. The river is at the bottom of the lovely sloping garden with no other buildings in sight. Denise is a very helpful host and can advise on place to visit if required although there is plenty of information in the apartment. Highly recommended and would love to go back."
"We loved the accommodation, very well appointed and with views of the River Wye to boot ! Very quiet and restful holiday. If only we had gone in the summer months so we could sit on the patio and sip wine enjoying the ambience. Lovely place to stay"
"Finding Herons was everything we were looking for. We were so blessed by what we found it truly was an answer to prayer. Our accommodation was to the highest of standards, clean, comfortable, warm and homely. I think that says it all. The views from Herons overlooking the river Wye are stunning. Would highly recommend. From 2 very satisfied guests, who will be returning later in the year."
"It may have been cold during our stay in March but Herons more than made up for the weather. The views of the River Wye were lovely from both inside and outside Herons. It was very clean and well appointed and could`nt be faulted. We would certainly recommend to friends. The thought of returning in summer and having a glass of wine on the terrace is very tempting !"
