Once again had a great time whilst staying at the Herons. Denise our host as always was very helpful and provided us with a lovely welcome pack which is appreciated. The surroundings are beautiful with lovely views of the river. We will be returning again later on in the year.
A clean, comfortable and well appointed apartment with a delightful outlook. I had a great stay while working locally and the Herons provided a lovely homely retreat. It is well placed to explore the surrounding countryside and Denise was a welcoming and friendly host. I look forward to returning in the future.
Having been to Herons several times. we always find it to be very clean, comfortable and well equipt. Denise the owner is always helpful and freindly. There is also a welcome pack on arrival which is much appriciated. Herefordshire is such a lovely place to visit as there is so much do and see. Thank you for your hospitality and help Denise.
We had a great break. Our hostess was most helpful and explained everything in the property on our arrival. The property is extremely well equipped. The view from the living room is spectacular. We had a really relaxing break and found no fault.
As always we had a lovely stay at Herons. It is very comfortable and well equipped and is in a beautiful location.

We enjoyed our stay at Herons very much,the only thing I would mention is about the towels,they are too small for guests,should be bath sheets,otherwise everything was good.
Isabelle
We met Denise when we arrived and she was very welcoming. The flat was spotless and very comfortable as was the bed. The views of the garden and the river were fabulous. The fishing was great. The last raspberries of the year that Denise kindly brought us were delicious. Thank you for a great week in a home away from home, we had a very relaxing time! Isabelle and Lee
Heron cottage is ideally situated as it is so close to the River Wye for the benefit of anglers and also well situated to tour the surrounding areas. The cottage itself it well appointed, cosy and comfortable. The owner is always on hand when help or information on the local area is needed. This is a place where visitors tend to return again and again.
A lovely place to stay. Peaceful surroundings with beautiful views down the garden to the River Wye and the hills in the distance with fishing possible at a small extra fee. Denise, the owner, very friendly and helpful. Lots of places to visit all around the area and the main city of Hereford, with numerous shops, supermarkets and restaurants etc, only 20mins drive. Highly recommended and hoping to make a return trip.
Such a lovely location! So peaceful and quiet with a gorgeous view. The owner Denise was very friendly and welcoming making suggestions for places to visit etc Excellent gardens to visit around Byford and lovely coffee shops also. The apartment was perfect it had everything we needed. Will be visiting again .

The property was lovely and clean cosy and comfortable. The bed is so comfortable. Plenty of storage in the bedroom, the wardrobe is large and you can even store your case in there. The view is beautiful and it is peaceful and quiet. Thank you to Denise the owner who is helpful and so friendly and thank you for the welcome treats.
A beautiful property with everything one could possibly need. It was all both modern and comfortable. The garden, patio and walk down to the river were stunning. It was easy to find despite being tucked away in what felt like the middle of nowhere. Denise, the owner was on hand when needed throughout my stay and was always available on the phone before and during it. I cannot recommend both her and Herons highly enough!
Phillipa
Denise was an excellent host welcoming and informative very helpful instructions for arrival at the property. The accommodation has everything you need and more very well appointed and bed is really comfortable. The setting is idyllic quiet, peaceful and beautifully maintained. A perfect holiday !
Much, much better than we anticipated utterly blissful! Cannot be faulted. We had a glorious week and will certainly return. Thank you Denise, the garden and apartment were a delight.
Generous sized accommodation with well equipped outdoor space. Stunning views over the River Wye. Very peaceful Very clean and comfortable internally Host is lovely. We would love to return
My wife and I have just spent 3 nights at herons Byford , cannot express how good it was . Accommodation is 1st class and setting is perfect , Denise the owner is around if you need anything or advice she was great , would definitely recommend
A beautiful and peaceful location with lovely views of the river Wye. This was our third stay and everything was spotlessly clean with all amenities you require. Once again Denise was very helpful and as always I enjoy our chats about gardening.
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 youre able to have wonderful views of the river and beyond. We were fortunate to have some glorious weather while we were there, so were 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.
We have had a wonderful stay at Herons. Thank you, Denise. We will certainly recommend to friends. It is a wonderful property and a great location for exploring that beautiful part of Herefordshire.
This was a return visit for us. The property is in a fantastic local with many attractions within a reasonable distance. The accommodation is very clean, comfortable and had everything you would need for a stay. Denise was very helpful and friendly and we certainly hope to return for a third time.
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.
Once again we had a great time at Herons in Byford we always find new and interesting places on our travels around the area the accommodation is perfect for my wife and myself with Denice Mrs Hacker always available to give info and advice as needed. I fished twice in a very swollen river and on the second day caught the biggest Chub I have ever seen well over 6 pounds , great place great time we shall return.
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 werent 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 wasnt quite the holiday we hoped for but for people who dont mind sharing the space with others it will be absolutely fine.
Rosemary
Peace and quiet in a beautiful setting.
Michael
The property was delightful, lovely spot, very comfortable, spotless accommodation with everything supplied and Ms Hacker was such a lovely hostess. We would certainly recommend this venue
Excellent location for a quiet and tranquil break but within driving distance of many places of interest. We had many conversations with the owner who was very helpful and advised us of various places to visit. The apartment was well equipped and very clean. We will certainly be visiting again.
We have already booked our second visor at the end of March.
Absolutely brilliant location. So peaceful
Herons is first class throughout. The view over the countryside and River Wye is spectacular with the chance of seeing a variety of wildlife. Herons 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.
Just returned home after a week at Heron's cottage which was very nice and so quiet ,the beautiful country with the heron fishing on the river wye, rabbits ,even a pheasant one morning looking through the patio window were a delite. Denise the owner was very helpful in many ways with her knowledge of the area , I am also very greatful for the plant she gave us for our garden ,certainly a place I will return to Cyril Evelyn.
