We booked a family room which turned out to be on the third floor and left us very disappointed. There was a large dip/hole inches wide in the floor next to the double bed, the carpet was stained all over and frankly I have better in my summer house. Dirty washing in sack from Bourne textiles left in cupboard and... more

I, my husband and another couple with a child all stayed here when we were attending a Christmas party in the area. On calling the hotel (twice) they remarked that there would be a party at the hotel too that night which I thought was positive - at least we were warned. The price was also very reasonable at £65... more

I booked a five night stay before reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. This is because the brochure dishonestly said that the hotel is in Bury St Edmunds. The hotel is in the centre of Mildenhall near the high street and market square. It is a typical small English town hotel. Our rooms on the first floor were a bit... more

We had our Christmas Party at the Hotel and had a great time. The Hotel has recently been taken over by a new group and the improvements are tremendous. The staff are very friendly, the food was great and I understand they have a new head chef. Well done to everyone and keep up the good work.! more

My partner and I booked this hotel so we could go to Ladies Day at Newmarket, the Garden Cottages sounded lovely on the web-site we used to book, but they are in fact the last resort for the hotel when the main house is full. Our room had large amounts of damp on one wall and the furniture had definitely... more

Seven of us spent the weekend at The Riverside as part of a larger family get together and had a wonderful time. The hotel which was once a private house has a lawn running down to the River Lark and we were lucky in having fantastic weather. Although the hotel has recently been taken over by the Swallow chain it... more
