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.

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.

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.

Calls itself an inn, so a olde pub with rooms and a cosy bar was anticipated. The closed front door, opened by means of a phone call, and the discovery that one was staying in an apartment block, was therefore disappointing. However all was clean and comfortable and well appointed, so full marks in all other respects.

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
