The Riverside motel is dated but this works to its advantage as the space is large, there is a full size stove, not everyone lives on takeaways and microwave meals. The owner is very pleasant and helpful. The location of the motel across the road from the river is good, ideal for an evening walk.

The booking system worked well, the room was functional and spotless, if a little dated. Not quite enough hot water for three adult showers
