Riverside Inn, Aymestrey

Friends had recommended The Riverside as a good place to eat so we decided to take a mini break, visit nearby Croft Castle, and stay overnight at the hotel. Our arrival was very welcoming and we were personally taken to our suite and shown where everything was. The suite was very clean and thoughtfully arranged with lots of space and yet feeling cosy too. The en suite had a lovely walk in rainfall shower - shower mat in the cupboard! Nice toiletries too. There was a good selection of teas and coffee and a lovely pot of homemade flapjacks along with fresh milk and a carafe of water in a very silent little fridge. Bedding was lovely and crisp and the bed very comfy. We had a relaxing drink in the bar after settling in. There is a selection of good wines by the glass along with zero alcohol beers for my husband. Dinner was outstanding and every course was delicious. Pride and care have been taken to ensure as much as possible is sourced locally - including from their own gardens and this is reflected in the quality of the food. Prices are reasonable and portions generous. Breakfast was a perfect start to the day - beautifully cooked scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and toast plus marmalade and jam - all homemade and super tasty. I had read some of the 5* reviews from previous guests on Trip Advisor so was quietly hopeful our stay would be a good one. It certainly was and we do wish the lovely people we met there all the very best in the future.

Really enjoyed our 2 night stay . Loved the pod , warm and comfortable.Host was excellent .Food

It is rare to find a place where so much attention is given to ensuring the guests have an excellent experience on every front. I cannot praise and recommend this place enough. From the accommodation to the fabulous food, the owners provide a high quality of service. George, manages front of house with a natural charm and efficiency. This is the first time I have reviewed anything, but felt compelled to do share.

Accommodation, food and staff were all incredible! It made a perfect end to our Christmas break and we'll definitely be visiting again.

Very good - excellent food - comfortable room except for very little room between the bed and the wall! Staff very helpful especially for finding route through the floods!

Excellent weekend stay Very cosy accommodation, friendly and helpful staff and great menu including locally-sourced produce.
