Fabulous little hideaway, perfect for sightseeing. Strattford upon Avon Warwick Castle, Worcester Cathedral etc etc. The flat is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need, large comfy bed and spotlessly clean.Alcester is a lovely little town with lots of little independent shops.Heron view is next to the hosts house which goes right down to a river, lots of wildlife.We would highly recommend this place, the hosts were very helpful with information and recommendations ( Arrow Mill food 5*)

Heron View ,was a beautiful place to spend a relaxing get away.The cottage was immaculate.Large king-size bed,and well equipped kitchen.With access to the garden and river.The hosts Caroline and Paul couldn't be more helpful. Only 10minute walk to the quaint little village,and only a 20minute drive into Stratford upon Avon.Well worth every penny.Hope to return in the near future.
