Perfect place for our 1 night stay. Lovely area right along the river/canal that you can walk along. There is a restaurant/bar but we headed into Bath for dinner. Breakfast was preordered which was great as it was ready for the time specified in the morning. Lots of options (all cooked - no cereals).

My husband and I stayed at The Riverside Inn for one night during the weekend. We only found out after arriving that there was a music party with a DJ and a dance floor, which made the evening lively and enjoyable. The riverside view was a lovely bonus, and the place was welcoming to dogs, with guests enjoying their time together with their friendly dogs. There was also a children’s play area, which made it suitable for families. We enjoyed the food and beer during our stay, and both were very tasty. Overall, it was a pleasant, relaxed and memorable weekend stay.

Great staff and a friendly welcome made my one night stay quite enjoyable. The food was great both in the evening and morning especially being sat outside on the terrace next to the River Avon which was a very pleasant experience. It was extremely hot weather during my stay and the current lack of AC made sleeping difficult especially with the large noisy room fan provided. However I understand that AC is due to be installed shortly so I wouldnt hesitate in staying at the hotel again if work takes me to Bristol / Bath area.

The room was clean and funky in terms of decoration which we liked. We hadn't realised that it was not a bathroom ensuit but shared one with three other rooms, but this was also very clean and luckily we were the only occupied room for the night we spent there. The staff were friendly and as we had to leave early the next morning kindly laid on a breakfast bap for us at 7am. An excellent setting next to the river and ideally suited for a short trip into Bath.
