The Riverside

Gorgeous room and terrace and overlooking the river. Very well maintained and beautiful surroundings.

The beautiful location next to the River Avon with views of Salisbury Cathedral is simply stunning. Upon arrival, the cleanliness of not only the outdoor areas but also the Hotel itself was faultless. Because we arrived early, we booked in with Reception with our car reg and after being given a map and directions, we took a sedated 10 minute walk into City centre which took us through little lanes, cottages and past the Cathedral. We wiled away a few hours and lunch etc and got back to the Hotel The Receptionist was helpful, welcoming and took us to our room. Very happy indeed. Bright, spacious, spotless and everything you would want. I was celebrating my 60th with my husband and after relax and nice hot shower, got ready for late teatime to go out. Had our complimentary bar drink and was taken via complimentary shuttle car driven by the amazing Kevin. Had a great night, rang Anna on Reception and she organised collection by Kevin for return. Had a night cap in the bar, filled with Christmas party goers, they were all lovely and then went to bed. Made our way to breakfast which had an amazing choice and delicious too. Then we checked out. I must say, every member of staff was exceptional, happy, polite and helpful. I really can't wait to go back. They made my birthday one to remember ❣️

I recently had an unexpected emergency that required me to find last-minute accommodation, and The Riverside exceeded all my expectations. Adrian and his team were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home, despite the short notice. The room was perfect, and the fabulous air conditioning ensured a lovely night's sleep - a lifesaver after a stressful day. The grounds were also beautifully kept, providing a serene atmosphere that helped me unwind. The level of care and attention to detail shown by Adrian and his team was exceptional. They truly went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, especially in times of need. The warmth, hospitality, and wonderful facilities made a huge difference to me. Thank you, Adrian and team, for your kindness and excellent service.

Riverside is located nearby main road and river, and a beautiful 20 min walk into old city center. It seems well run and staff is very nice. Dont expect much historical or boutique charm, though its all quite nice. Bar and breakfast area is worth the visit, and there is a very nice terrace and lawn at the river. The parking lot is spacious with 4 charging stations. We had a standard double which was modern (or "contemporary" as the hotel writes), with all things nessecary.

From arriving at the hotel, being escorted to our room and a welcome drink, the staff were exceptionally helpful. The room overlooked the river, with a view of the Cathedral Spire and was spotlessly clean. There was a good range on offer at breakfast, which was topped up as needed. Lovely seating area to the rear of the hotel with lovely views. Bar was open for refreshments. The location of the hotel was ideal allowing us to walk to/from the city centre. We were absolutely delighted with our stay and will be returning. The hotel doesn’t offer evening meals but can arrange free transport to/ from local restaurants as required in the evening.
