Delightful gem in a beautiful setting

This is a delightful little gem in a beautiful setting. We were attending a concert so needed to arrive early and wouldn’t be back to the room until very late. Not a problem staff were very accommodating.

Good for 1-2 nights in

Nice decent sized room. Good restaurant next door. Nice views near the canal. Could be a little noisy with outdoor pub seating nearby. No common sitting area.

A lovely location! Was in small single room, perfectly fine. Comfortable bed, clean nice decor, good air conditioning, vital given current hot weather!.The well presented reasonable size bathroom for sole use was separate and was a few steps across a small landing, it had a bath/shower. Breakfast OK, choice of cereals, orange juice, pastries plus some fruit and also small buffet style hot choice of scrambled egg, bacon, sausage & tomatoes.

Great location, clean and comfortable

Great location although we were in front of hotel which has seating area outside for the restaurant next door. Closed at 8 so quiet but I expect in the evenings it can be noisy to stay in room 1. Decor great, very clean, large bed, spacious bathroom. Tv signal awful, kept dropping out continuously . No hotel parking as we thought, it’s free street parking but it was very very busy so we had to park in a car park a good 15 min walk away carrying luggage

Great stay

Really enjoyed our stay at Riverside Inn. Had a lovely downstairs room beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. Super view over the river and boats. Breakfast was great too and no problems when asking for gluten free bread. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Overpriced, disappointing breakfast

I don’t mind self check-in at all and this one worked well. The room was lovely though with no view at all I would class it as overpriced. Breakfast didn’t make up for that whatsoever. The cooked breakfast was cold on both mornings we stayed and the bread was dry so my sausage sandwich was far from enjoyable. Little touches could be improved on eg more than one toilet roll for a couple staying for 2 nights. When paying as much as we did for the stay I don’t think rationing the sheets per toilet visit is very fair. Also, if I had realised that there was a need to grab a croissant at breakfast before the other guests took one, rather like having to be up early for a sunbed abroad, I would have got in there! Sadly, every opening and closing of door below goes through you as you try to sleep and you can pretty much hear every word being spoken in the room below All in all I would say the stay was an expensive lesson in not selecting to stay here. The location is lovely right on the river. But not being able to see it and being disappointed by the breakfast mean it could have been anywhere and certainly not worth paying for the privilege

Beautiful hotel

We had a lovely stay. Our room was immaculate and spotlessly clean. The river view was beautiful. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of selection. Would definitely stay again even though train noise was quite disurbing at times
