Staff did a magnificent job of an impossible task. Mgmnt accepted a too big reception booking. When, as hotel guests, my guests and I arrived, it was chaos in the car park... and there really isn't anywhere else to park. (It's on a busy bypass outside town). Very disappointing. Cost me and guests time we'd intended for seeing town. Was surprised we couldn't dine in the hotel. It was a cold damp night. They did provide a very good (free) shuttle to town, though.

The hotel was beautifully and tastefully decorated with really interesting prints and historical artefacts. The view from our room over the flood fields and to the cathedral were breathtaking. Breakfast provided hot and cold options, with fresh coffee and eggs as requested. Although there was no dinner service, the hotel provided a free shuttle (or taxi) into town and back so you can enjoy many of the dining options in town. The bar is open in the evenings with a friendly service and wide range of cocktails and alcohol options. The staff are super friendly and happy to help with any queries. Our two night stay was a delight and with ample free parking and a short walk into town, we will happily stay again.

It was wonderful. The room and grounds were beautiful. There was a shuttle that took us into town so we didn’t have to worry about driving at night after enjoying the pub. Staff was extremely polite and helpful.

As a base for exploring Salisbury the Riverside is great. The building and rooms were excellent and the breakfast buffet good. The walk to the Cathedral is about 15 minutes and shows something of the character of the city. Two things to note about the hotel are that there are no lifts and there is no evening meal service. The hotel does however run a shuttle into town in the evenings.

A lovely overnight stay at the Riverside after a full day at Longleat! The staff were incredibly friendly and professional. There was even a comp drink on arrival and taxi to/from Salisbury town centre in the evening which was unexpected. Breakfast was great too. Special thanks to Nora on reception - and Jason for his shuttle services!

Lovely hotel! Our ensuite bedroom had a beautiful for poster canopy bed with views of Salisbury Cathedral, streams and sheep grazing. It was magical and so relaxing to sit and read with those views. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed breakfast, afternoon sandwiches and cocktails from the bar. It’s only a short walk to the Salisbury Cathedral and Close, where we soaked in the majestic cathedral and Evensong by candlelight. Salisbury is a large historical town with countless shops and eateries to enjoy. And it was easy access to major roads and other parts of the UK.

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.
