There is nothing negative to say about this hotel. From the warm friendly welcome through to the equally friendly goodbye everything was spot on. Every staff members we met were so friendly and service was of a very high standard. We will stay here again

Staff was very friendly and attentive. Good breakfast. Jason who drove the shuttle very accommodating. The room was nice but lacked storage space in the bathroom. The bathroom fan cycling on and off was irritating. And it didn’t clear the steam from the shower. Pillows were flat and hard. But even with these shortcomings I’d stay there again.

Lovely hotel in a nice part of Salisbury just a 15 minute delightful walk into the city. Free shuttle service in the evenings. The staff & the service were excellent. The view from our room & from the bar terrace is outstanding, open countryside, the river & the cathedral. Highly recommended.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Riverside, and I can confidently say it was one of the best hotel experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment I arrived, the warm hospitality and attention to detail were evident. What truly set this hotel apart, however, was the outstanding service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt valued and well cared for. Whether it was providing recommendations for local attractions, arranging transportation, or simply checking in to see if everything was perfect, their dedication was remarkable. Overall, The Riverside is a true gem that offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and genuine hospitality. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay, and I can’t wait to return!
