The staff were great, really friendly, happy to help, chatty and gave us a nice evening.
Really pretty setting, we could watch the water from our room, the room itself was really nicely decorated, we had cute dog themed touches, nice and clean, we couldn’t say anything bad about it.
Staff were welcoming and friendly, check-in was quick. The room was extremely clean and had everything you would need for the stay. The view of the river from the window was fantastic. Full English breakfast that was very tasty.
Lovely clean room over looking the river. Excellent.enjoyed our cooked breakfast, lovely & quiet.
Park & ride only 2 miles away which takes you into Bath (less than £8 return for2!!)
Great place to stay. Staff very very friendly and helpful. Cannot fault them at all. Food was excellent. Rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. We will visit again in the near future.
Stayed for 3 days. The beds were comfortable and the room was neat. Would have liked a fan but other than that I can’t complain. Breakfast was very good and the staff was excellent. Would stay again.
A warm welcome. The rooms (2) we visited were spacious and the beds were super comfortable for a great night's sleep. The hotel is close to the river which, at the time had a fast current. The full English breakfast was freshly cooked and wholesome.
The staff were very friendly. Our double/twin en suit room was modern, spacious and spotless as well as being nicely decorated for Christmas which, was a lovely touch! Breakfast has to be pre-ordered and options were minimal but the full English we had was satisfactory, served quickly and hot. Free parking on the property was very handy and the train station as well as bus stop are a very short walk away. It only took 20-25 minutes or so by bus to get in to Bath town. It was a quiet, cosy stay at the Riverside Inn- I would highly recommend for a short stay.
Room was ok if a bit warm but the shared bathroom was very off putting. I knew it would be a shared bathroom but the reality was a very small pokey room that was a struggle to change in to have a shower etc.
Views out the bedroom window were fab and the food was good
