The Riverside
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful place! Wonderful amenities and such a lovely staff. I was very ill upon arrival (stomach flu) and had a terrible time getting to the hotel. My husband went in early (since I couldn’t function) and asked if it would be possible to check in a bit early so that I could get into a bed and rest. The house keeper finished her breakfast and got our room ready for us right away and I have never been more thankful! When the going got tough, these wonderful folks gave us a helping hand. The bartenders were friendly and a joy to visit with. I highly recommend this hotel. Great views, great location!! Thank you so very much. "

Great location, right opposite the spa and there was even a sauna and 2 hot tubs outside our room. The decor of the public rooms was gorgeous with cosy log fires and comfortable sofas and chairs. The service from everyone was exceptional. Very attentive and friendly. Great food and drinks. Will definitely stay here again"
