• "We had spent 4 nights at Herons recently."

  It was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. There were lovely views of the River Wye and surrounding countryside. Herons is well situated for the Black Mountains, Brecon, Hay on Wye, Ross on Wye, the Golden Valley, Hereford and much more. Many thank to Denise for making our stay so enjoyable and for good chats about gardening, gardens etc. Hope to return for a bit longer next year.

• "Herons is a lovely holiday apartment on the banks of the River Wye."

  There are patio doors across the whole of the front, so you’re able to have wonderful views of the river and beyond. We were fortunate to have some glorious weather while we were there, so we’re able to sit on the large patio, where there is a choice of seating. The apartment is comfortable, well furnished and equipped. Denise, the owner, lives above the apartment, so was on hand to give advice; it was particularly helpful to have directions to a car park in Hereford, which we could reach without negotiating the busy traffic in the city. Altogether, a very enjoyable holiday.

• "Herons was a delightful property."

  Light and airy with fabulous views of the river Wye. The property was well equipped with everything we needed. The owner, Denise, met us on arrival and showed us the property and how everything worked. The welcome tray left for us was very thoughtful. We would definitely consider staying here again.

• "A really beautiful place to stay looking down to the river."

  Nothing too much trouble for the Owner. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Could not fault it.

• "Everything was spotless and comfortable."

  We did not want to prepare a full meal for ourselves as we ate out, however it would have been a bit tight for surface space in the kitchen had we done so. It was as described but something to bear in mind. The area though is excellent for eating places and everywhere we ate was of a very high standard, reasonably priced and offered a huge variety.

• "We had another enjoyable and relaxing holiday over Christmas at Herons."

  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.

• "A relaxing "home from home"."

  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 property itself is fairly nice, one or two aspects of it could do with a little tlc."

  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.

  The view over the countryside and River Wye is spectacular with the chance of seeing a variety of wildlife. Heron’s is ideally situated to tour the surrounding area. Be sure to visit Oakchurch farm shop. For townies who want something different visit the Hereford Cattle Auction. Denise, the owner is always on hand to help out with any problems and has an excellent rapport with all of her visitors.

• "Herons is a fabulous place to unwind and watch the river and wildlife go by."

  The view from the terrace and living room is fantastic. The property is fab - fully equipped kitchen, spacious lounge and great bedroom (twin beds pushed together to make superking size). Plenty of parking. Definitely take binoculars with you if you like bird watching - Herons, Egrets, ducks etc as well as the rabbits and field mice in the garden. Denise was a great host and we were able to get into the property a little earlier than anticipated. She also some Border dark chocolate and ginger biscuits, some milk and some Nescafe double choc mocha sachets as well as tea, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper. Cleaning products also provided which was great. There is a washing machine in the bathroom if you need it too.

• "Denise was a helpful and generous hostess, providing useful information both before and during our stay at Herons."

  The accommodation was clean, extremely comfortable and very well equipped. The garden and grounds down to the river were beautiful, with plenty of birds to watch and lots of rabbits on the grass in the early morning and evenings. Really quite delightful! The river was low, making the fishing challenging but there were barbel and chub to be caught, mostly in the evening. There was plenty to keep us busy in the area including Hay-on-Wye bookshops, Hereford Cathedral and several National Trust properties, plus the excellent farm shop within a few minutes drive. We had a really lovely week’s stay at Herons and would thoroughly recommend this property.

• "From all the lovely places we have rented through Sykes this is by far the most superior."

  The view from the living room and terrace is spectacular, the furnishings are tasteful and so comfortable. All facilities are of high standard. We usually use the accommodation as a base and go sightseeing. However we so enjoyed "Heron's" that for 2 days of the week we just stayed to watch the wild life on the river and the rabbits cavorting on the lawn. We simply loved it!!

  Herons IS paradise on earth! The apartment is spacious and well equipped. Uninterrupted views of the Wye river are unbelievable, the total vista is beyond words - not a man made feature to be seen. The wild life is a joy, the birds in particular are varied and pleasantly chatty. The host very friendly, pro-active in making sure everything is okay for you, then discreet. We hope to go back. The peaceful, uplifting experience will stay with us for a long time. Highly recommended.

• "Beautiful apartment with equally beautiful views over the river Wye."

  Even in dull weather, the setting was idyllic. Sitting in an armchair with a cup of tea viewing the river and wildlife through panoramic patio windows was just perfect. There was plenty to see in the area too, with Weir Gardens (National Trust) just down the road an absolute gem of a place. Our hostess, Denise, was very welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. If you want somewhere to chill out and enjoy nature, such as watching a buzzard looking for (presumably) insects on the lawn outside our window, then this is the place for you. We shall certainly return.
