Salisbury in the summer
No toilet brush in bathroom and no shelf to put toiletries on. Toiletries were Put a little stool next to toilet. Overall cleanliness good however very grubby round plug point where kettle tray is. Not much room on dressing table - a freestanding small chest of drawers with hospitality tray on would have been good. Staff nice. I upgraded to River Room - however thought it was a bit expensive overall.

This was one of most favourite places to stay in our short trip to Salisbury, and we wished we could have stayed here longer. The hotel welcoming and filled with interesting history. The room was cosy and bright. The bathroom updated and more pleasant than many 'modern' hotels we have stayed at. The staff were all wonderful and made our family feel like old friends. The patio and ground have an incredible view and was the perfect place to sit down, enjoy the sunshine and calm summer sounds. Perfect.

A wonderful stay. This place is so quiet yet so close to Salisbury city centre. And the view from the hotel room - alongside the garden- was stunning!

Lovely!
Lovely staff, fantastic position, good breakfast. There was a wedding whilst we were there but it didn’t encroach upon our stay at all. Not 5 stars as a bit mean with the shower gel (one small bottle for 2 of us for 2 nights which wasn’t replaced), fresh water wasn’t replaced neither were the biscuits. Notwithstanding those minor niggles, we had a lovely time and will definitely return.

The Riverside - our first encounter
Arriving at The Riverside was a treat. The car parking was easy and very convenient for access to the hotel. Our room had a double bed, TV drawer and wardrobe space an ensuite bathroom (with bath and shower facilities). The view from our room was beautiful and looked over the lawn (and the sculpture of the giraffe) to Salisbury Cathedral and the field around. The breakfast at the hotel was good (cold selections, hot food, cereals, fruits and patisseries. From the dining area you could walk out on the the balcony and then down impressive steps to the lawns below. A beautiful setting, a lovely stay! Thank you. PS We'll be back - God willing.

A lovely hotel run by a great team.
The hotel was nice but most importantly the team at the hotel provided fantastic service. They were friendly, attentive and put effort into ensuring our stay was pleasant and comfortable. We really appreciated the tiny little goodies touches in the room and the transport service into the town which made the experiences all that much better.

This property was so beautiful! The weather was perfect, and we were able to enjoy a glass of wine on the back terrace / deck. We could see the Salisbury Cathedral from the deck -- so beautiful. There's a free shuttle in the evenings, as well. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly, as well.
