The Riverside has been accommodating guests since the 1600s.

Discover our charming rooms, each uniquely furnished with its own character, featuring some with 400-year-old beams embedded in the walls.

All guest rooms feature feather and down duvets draped in crisp white linen, flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi, and amenities for coffee and tea-making, accompanied by homemade biscuits for your enjoyment.

Food

Dining at The Riverside offers a distinctive experience centred around local, sustainable cuisine.

Sustainability and ethical sourcing is fundamental to our menu design with the kitchen garden and smallholding being an important ingredient in the creation of dishes. Andy and his team prepare the ground, sow and reap the seasonal fruits, herbs and vegetables. What we don’t grow ourselves, we source locally, choosing suppliers who mirror our ethos and quality to showcase the very best of British cuisine.

We have designated “dog tables” in our bar should you wish to bring your four-legged friend to dine with you – please mention this when booking.

We are also delighted to cater for groups and special occasions.
