Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riverside. Spotlessly clean. Perfect hosts. Excellent food. Fabulous views over the river. Although it's beside a main road, that is not really a downside as you're not conscious of this. You should be aware that they charge the full cost of the stay a few days before you arrive, not as published on Expedia.

The property was located on the banks of the river with the dining-room and one of our bedroom windows over looking the river which was beautiful and quiet. The otherside of the house was on a busy main "A" road so a bedroom on that side would not be desirable. The hosts were very welcoming and provided excellent service with a smile. . the garden was outstanding.

Superb holiday accommodation.
We thoroughly enjoyed our wonderful 5 night stay at Riverside. Simon and Donna are exceptional hosts, nothing was too much trouble for them and they made us feel most welcome and genuinely wanted to please their guests. The food was top quality and delicious and everything about the house was top quality.

Perfect location, wonderful views, great service!
Beautiful location, perfect for Tarka trail - walk to Instow beach was fantastic. Also great to use the free kayaks - so peaceful further down the river. The service was amazing - owners were helpful and kind. Food was some of the best we've had in years! And what a view! We also loved all the animals - especially the dogs and the donkey.

Donna and Simon made us very welcome. The view from the balcony room was beautiful. Watching the tide rise and fall on the river was mesmerising. Breakfast was lovely. The only downside to the whole experience was not Donna and Simon's fault, and this was that Bideford doesn't offer many places to go and have an evening meal. A great stay thanks. X

Convenient location
Riverside Cottage Guest House is in a great location for exploring Bideford and taking a trip to Lundy. It is however situated on quite a busy road. We stayed in the courtyard room which is closest the road. We would have been better to have booked one of the others. Donna made us a great packed lunch for Lundy at a great price and also provided us with an early breakfast. We would definitely stay again.

A relaxing food heaven.
Hosts Donna and Simon are natural, relaxed and very friendly. Donna's breakfast preparation and presentation skills are excellent, whilst the bacon, sausage and eggs are from their own smallholding which Simon tends every day. Watch out for extra tasty treats following Donna's baking sessions. Best meal out was at 'Country Cousins Restaurant', Westward Ho!

Perfect hotel with gorgeous views
The owners Simon & Donna make this hotel feel like an extension of their home from the minute they greet you, their hotel is in a stunning location overlooking the river & is beautifully furnished throughout. The breakfast offered was lovely, with homemade bread & preserves & also home reared bacon & sausage - a great start to the day. It is ideally suited for exploring this beautiful area of Devon. Definitely recommend & hope to return again one day
