ELAINE WRIGHT
Heron’s View is a super cottage, home from home, everything you need, even a landline with an honesty box, the phone signal isn’t very good. It was perfect for us - rest and relaxation and of course the view of the river. Watching the world go by, boats and more boats and all the wildlife. We would recommend Heron’s View.

I spend three weeks at Heron’s View each year. It’s my favourite UK destination and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The accommodation is excellent, very well & thoughtfully equipped, and the view is breathtaking.
