Good stay, needs updating

Really friendly staff. Lovely views from our room of the garden. Delicious breakfast. Quick and easy check in and out. The only downside is that the room could do with a little renovation. The toilet seat was half hanging off, the flush didn’t work properly and the carpet was quite worn in places.

Terrible

No welcome on arrival. There was very short notice of a Christmas party so the night was very loud up until 12.30am. No acknowledgment on departure. The room was full of cobwebs on the ceiling and the breakfast room was very cold. The bed and pillows were also not that comfy. Overall the hotel was very tired.

Loud music, grubby hotel

Had the Hotel contacted me when I booked a room and told me there would be loud music playing until gone midnight, which was then replaced by the banging of the lift, I certainly would not have booked, The hotel is Eco Friendly due to the lack of working light bulbs,The furniture had more chips than McDonaldsThe room was supposedly the "Honeymoon suite" but I'm guessing the divorce rate locally had gone up after spending the night in this grubby, tatty overpriced room When I booked out the very non-professional staff member sat un his overcoat and scarf, didn't enquire how my stay was, only good point, the breakfast was good quality

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but check in was disappointing. In the lobby as we arrived, they had self check in set up on a computer at the desk. A staff member was nearby the desk, but never welcomed us or made eye contact as we entered the lobby, or asked if we needed assistance with anything. Finally he engaged us as we were trying to figure out how to get to our room. Our room was on the 3rd floor of the hotel. The room itself was lovely, but the weather had been very hot for days, and when we got to the room all the windows were shut, and the air conditioner was off. It took a long time for the room to be tolerable temperature wise. As they knew they'd booked the room, it would have been nice for them to have attempted to cool it down before we arrived. Other than that, all was good. The breakfasts were plentiful and delicious, and the staff friendly and helpful.

Very tired hotel

Check in was ok.booked in online which was a waste of time really. Room 24 allocated. Very tired.worn carpet.tatty bedside tables.tired bathroom. Bed wasnt comfortable and pillows like biscuits. The only saving grace was the air con ! TV remote faulty. Sat outside but not for long due to wasps . Outside also looks tired . Sat inside for dinner but this also needs refurbing. This used to be a nice hotel but needs money spending on it. At £138 I would expect better quality room

Welcoming stay at The Riverside

The staff were very friendly & helpful and the evening menu & food was good. The Honeymoon suite was was a good size room with a nice bathroom & good shower, which is rare these days. The carpet however was a little grubby. You can hear the bar music below the room until late.
