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

lovely little house, close to Stratford upon Avon

We stayed for 5 nights, taking in Stratford upon Avon, National Trust houses and the Black Country Museum. The house is very comfortable and we slept very well indeed It is calm and quiet and well equipped. The owners are very helpful and friendly, but not invasive. All the check in information was very accurate. The welcome pack included fresh milk, coffee, tea etc, very handy for a late arrival. The town is delightful and has everything you might need or want, and our hosts provided advice and guidance on places to eat and things to do. There are good paths around and it is an easy walk into the town. We would thoroughly recommend this for a short break.

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.

Ideal rural getaway

We had a lovely 3 night break on our way to Manchester. Heron's View is very comfortable and we enjoyed sitting in the gazebo at the end of the garden, looking out over the river. We took our breakfast down there as well as tea! The hosts were very welcoming and provided milk and also eggs freshly laid by their bantam hens. It is perfectly placed ro visit Stratford on Avon and various country houses. Highly recommend.

Peaceful

We loved the place! The hosts were beyond welcoming and kind. They made sure we had everything we needed. It was the perfect place for the middle of our trip. Sitting in the back yard, watching the chickens, listening to the river run past was so relaxing. The hectic, "on holiday" mode was replaced with peace and relaxation. There's a grocery store nearby, so it was nice to make a salad and eat at "home." We would definitely stay here again.
