“Riverside Bar And Restaurant feels like a genuine discovery, particularly given its value - a real bargain when other places inflated prices. The rooms are unexpectedly spacious and maintained to a high standard of cleanliness, with thoughtful touches like free Wi-Fi and ample parking. It strikes me as a reliable, comfortable spot for a straightforward stay, complemented by a friendly on-site pub experience.”
