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.

Loved our stay. The grounds and hotel were beautiful. The shuttle was so helpful for getting us to and from dinner. All of the staff are absolutely fabulous and so helpful. Would love to stay again!
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.
Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was very clean, very comfortable. Breakfast was full of options, well done. Location was so lovely!! We enjoyed our entire stay walking to and from the Riverside and other locations of interest. Honestly, I want to come right back!
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.
We love this hotel , it was our second visit ! & Very often the second visit is never as good ! But it didn't happen in this case & would not hesitate in returning again if we are in the vicinity.
Lovely hotel. Clean and spacious bedroom. Comfortable bed. Compact bathroom but everything you need. Good breakfast and can choose your eggs. Shuttle service into town but close enough to walk. Helpful staff.
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.
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.
