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.

Clean tidy room, good night sleep, friendly staff, excellent breakfast. They only drop a star because you can't eat there at night. They do provide a shuttle service to the centre of Salisbury which has some excellent restaurants. But sometimes after a long day you don't want to make the effort. Next time we are that way we'll defiantly stay again.

We found The Riverside a charming stay in Salisbury, and very walkable to town on a perfectly gorgeous walking path. The easy breakfast, and view of the Cathedral were enchanting.
