Really great stay here. Beautiful room and setting. Mini bus shuttle is a wonderful free touch and I want to give a special shout out to Anna on the front desk who went the extra mile when we had a “wardrobe malfunction”! 5/5 couldn’t fault a thing.

We love our annual stay at The Riverside in Salisbury, perfectly located for a quiet stay whilst close enough for a picturesque walk into the city. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and the rooms lovely and spacious. Looking forward to our next stay in 2027.

I had a whirlwind stop, not getting to the hotel till 9.30pm, what was nice, was to be shown to the room and not just handed a key. Room was spacious and modern, lovely and clean with everything you need. Breakfast was excellent. I didn't get chance to explore but the setting at the rear with the river looked glorious.

We spent a few days here over our honeymoon. The location was great - short walk to to town and the cathedral. The staff were friendly. Our room was clean and had a nice view of the cathedral and the river. Breakfast buffet was decent. Plenty of parking. 15 minutes to Stonehenge by car. Would recommend.

Adorable and quaint boutique hotel beautifully located on a little creek. Staff was very pleasant and stay was perfe t for a night before our cruise out of Southampton. Breakfast was perfect and parking was right in front of hotel.. Try and get a riverview stay if you can!

Very clean rooms, very good staff and one of the best breakfast I’ve had for a long time

Lovely, spotless room. Staff always polite and willing to help. The breakfast was excellent. We had lunch at the hotel also, which was very good, I have some dietary issues and the staff/kitchen were more than happy to adapt my chosen dish for me. Plenty of room to park avoiding having to find a parking space which could be a long distance from the hotel, which is particularly important for us due to issues a member of our party has with walking long distances. A lovely view of the river and Salisbury Cathedral from the balcony leading off the bar/restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
