Absolutely delightful cottage in a quiet lane, just 10 minutes walk from the High Street. Super comfy, enormous bed, Sky TV, a wide selection of books and an open-plan kitchen with everything required. Unable to fault this lovely rental. Many thanks to Caroline and Paul. We loved it! :)

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.
