It’s always a bad sign when a restaurant is completely empty on a Bank Holiday Monday evening. While the building is located in beautiful surroundings with great views from the dining room, the quality of the food here was disappointing and the menu was different to the ones advertised online and on notice boards. The “baked” Cornish Brie had been blitzed in the microwave, as the centre of the cheese was undercooked. The vegetable risotto looked like it had come out of a microwaveable packet of rice. The mashed potato served with the lamb shank was lumpy. Service was excellent throughout, however. Overall, best to avoid this place for food, as it’s telling when places like The Cobweb Inn and Sharon’s Plaice are busy while The Riverside was empty.

Disappointing food, great service

My week at The Riverside has sadly come to and end.  Had a wonderful week.  Ross & his Team are so very welcoming & the breakfast are delicious.  The facilities and rooms are great & always clean.  Had their carvery today & it was rather delicious too.  Roll on May for my next visit.

Great week at The Riverside

From the outside it looks very nice and the staff were welcoming and helpful. We had room 3 which was very tired. Paint was coming off the wall in the bathroom and the decor was drab. It was basically clean but there was a smell to the common areas and room that showed it needed a deep clean. The location is ideal for the town although you have to park in a pay and display it’s near and free at night. Breakfast was ok with a nice view of the river and the staff friendly. We had a problem with the heating as the digital radiator valves were damaged but the staff sorted it and the room was warm. All in all ok but it could do with some refurbishment or at least a deep clean.

Good location and friendly staff but the room was tired.

This was our second stay at the waterside, Staff and facilitys are pretty good, The room was ample, comfortable and warm, bed was huge and intaily quite comfy but did find it a bit lumpy after a couple of nights, After working in the catering trade for 40 odd years, i really dont like pre-order breakfast, it's not as though they were busy & i find it tends to make Chefs take short cuts by pre cooking bacon and sausages as it did in this case, & by the way it was an awful sausage anyway, leaving food under hot lights to form  a skin on beans & genrally dry food out. As breakfast is half experince they might want to recosider, as had i known i wouldn't of booked. As for knowing what stock to order would be a poor excuse as it was only  a cooked breakfast. saying all that we had a couple of evening meals that were nice, and some nice wines,

Hotel at the heart of the town.

I love the Riverside and I have stayed there 3 times before, in fact it is now an annual experience. The location is perfect, the ambience is warm and friendly, the staff are delightful and the breakfasts are fab! I will be booking for next year. 

Another Fabulous Week

We had a fantastic stay here. The room was lovely with great views of the river (and the ducks!). It was also one of the cleanest rooms we have ever stayed in.  A word of warning, there are a lot of stairs and while we were offered help with our bags, if you have mobility problems, it may be an issue. The wife is Plant Based and the breakfast options for her were great and we ended up eating in the restaurant every night for the three nights we were there (unusual for us) due to the PB options and the quality of the food. (They even had Oat Milk sachets in the room, a new one on us!)
The Staff were all friendly, chatty and helpful and made the stay an extra pleasure.


Great place to stay

Ok we got there, the room was pretty basic, nasty light, awful ceiling, cracked tiles and generally shabby throughout. After a mediocre breakfast, one veggie, one meat. Neither of which were consistent. The ordering system is terrible and as residents you can’t eat off the main menu, which lead to tiny portions. The next day we had avo on toast which was revolting. The final nail in the coffin was when the waitress said the terrace was full and turned us away rather than sitting residents in the restaurant or bar. We left then. Not even 48 hours into our week

Awful

The staff here are as lovely as the location. We popped into in for breakfast which was very good, and they bought my little girl over a massive tub of bread for her to feed the ducks with. These things make such special memories. I love this place.

Lovely staff

Fantastic location, excellent service and nothing needs changing, will be going back for sure. Staff very efficient and food very good indeed. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a night or 2.

Fantastic place to stay

Absolutely beautiful & stunning hotel that compliments the surrounding area.  Rooms are so spacious, furniture is fantastic & the bed was super comfy. The room was spotless, loved the views, listening to the stream in the night was wonderful.   Breakfast is so yummy, had smoked salmon & scrambled eggs, haddock & poached eggs. Staff are super friendly & nothing was too much trouble.  My Fiance passed away in May & this was the perfect place to stay for a mini break, my daughter was in awe of the surroundings.  We were in room 15 at the top of the building & couldn't have asked for better. Would definitely recommend family, friends.
