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.

Lovely!
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.
