  • Janice

    It was very comfortable and well equiped. Denise, the owner had added many thoughtful touches to celebrate Christmas which was much appreciated by both of us. We very much hope to visit Herons again later in the year.

  • Ron

    The host, Denise, is very friendly and helpful. This a peaceful, rural location, with a garden that backs onto the River Wye. The apartment is south facing, with panoramic patio doors / windows overlooking the river, with your own private partially covered patio. My stay was work related, so I didn't get to enjoy the full potential of the setting. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing stay in the countryside, particularly if you enjoy fishing.

    The radiator in the bathroom is looking a little tired as well as the sealant on the base of the shower. In the garden a parasol to sit under when the weather is hot would be very welcome. A main issue for us was the lack of privacy. We weren’t aware that there was a property next door and also that the property owner lives upstairs above the cottage. Trying to relax in the evening was difficult because the owner can clearly be heard moving around. The balcony of her property also overlooks the patio area which for us is unacceptable and had we known this would not have made the booking. A more accurate property description is definitely required. All in all it wasn’t quite the holiday we hoped for but for people who don’t mind sharing the space with others it will be absolutely fine.
