The Riverside

Hotel and grounds were very nice and parking was easy. Having seen they had a restaurant, was a little taken by surprise to find out they did not serve dinner. They do provide transport to restaurants in town though

Really enjoyable stay. I didn't realise they had no restuarant for the evening, however they do offer a shuttle service in to the town centre which will drop & collect you at a time that suits you

Great location by a river, overlooking the water meadows to Salisbury Cathedral. No lift, but staff showed us to our room and helped with luggage. The hotel runs a useful free minibus into the centre each evening, to enable easy access to local restaurants. Pleasant bar and terrace. A lovely short break.

It’s a renovated hotel, the staff are courteous, and the river proximity is lovely. Overall our stay was okay. We are a family of four and ordered the family room which turned out to be on the lower ground floor. The room was dark, north facing, and has a damp smell. There is access to a patio but it is shared with another room and during our stay those people were out and their kids were playing ball. We had no privacy and were forced to close the curtains. The room is not well lit—there’s one ceiling light but it is cold white and unpleasant. The breakfast is very basic—too basic for the price: no kids yogurts, simple bread, and gas and baked beans and some meats. A few cheeses. Only French press coffee, no non dairy options. It’s a reasonably clean hotel, but the windows and the window frames were very dirty. Overall, not overwhelming but also not a disaster.

The room was spotless, the breakfast was very good, there was plenty of parking spaces and the staff were very helpful, polite and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Riverside and will stay there again.
