Weekend stay

Staff were great. Lovely breakfasts. However parking was an issue, and there were late night functions on both nights of our stay. Our room was above the function area, so the feeling was more like staying in a room above a pub. Because of the functions there was no restful area for residents. The marketing information does not reflect the actual hotel and location.

Lovely hotel - great customer service

Overall we had a lovely stay at Riverside House Hotel. The bar, restaurant and communal areas are well decorated and have comfy seating. We stayed in Room 12 which is a very large room with fabulous high ceilings, big bathroom with shower (and thick fluffy towels) and a garden view. Whilst lovely the room could do with a bit of attention - the aircon wasn’t great, the curtains need some rehanging, the windows pull cords were broken so had to be wedged open and the carpet and furnishings were a little tired (lots of the edgings have fallen off). It was clean (apart from the sock between the bedside table and window!!) The outside space was lovely with plenty of well spaced tables (few more parasols might be good) Special mention to Roxy who was wonderful - with good energy and great customer service. She addressed a check in issue professionally and her customer service at the bar and in the restaurant was fabulous. Thanks also to Chef for accommodating my last minute change of mind. Decent breakfast with friendly service. Enjoyed our stay and room - (just felt a few room details could do with addressing) Would stay again 😊

Very tired hotel

Check in was ok.booked in online which was a waste of time really. Room 24 allocated. Very tired.worn carpet.tatty bedside tables.tired bathroom. Bed wasnt comfortable and pillows like biscuits. The only saving grace was the air con ! TV remote faulty. Sat outside but not for long due to wasps . Outside also looks tired . Sat inside for dinner but this also needs refurbing. This used to be a nice hotel but needs money spending on it. At £138 I would expect better quality room

Good stay, needs updating

Really friendly staff. Lovely views from our room of the garden. Delicious breakfast. Quick and easy check in and out. The only downside is that the room could do with a little renovation. The toilet seat was half hanging off, the flush didn’t work properly and the carpet was quite worn in places.

Welcoming stay at The Riverside

The staff were very friendly & helpful and the evening menu & food was good. The Honeymoon suite was was a good size room with a nice bathroom & good shower, which is rare these days. The carpet however was a little grubby. You can hear the bar music below the room until late.
