My good lady and I booked to stay here at the end of October as we were going to Uttoxeter on the Friday to enjoy a days horse racing. Rather than drive to the course we took a bus from nearby Burton on the advice of the Manager, Alberto. Less than £5 for us both each way and an enjoyable... more

I used to stay here a lot on business. Having returned after a three year break, I was so disappointed to find the fine dining restaurant had gone. Now it is order at the bar, get your numbered spoon & stick it in the empty wine bottle at your table & wait. It's good enough food, but...!!!! That said, I... more

Our stay at Riverside Hotel was one of the high points of our vacation. The scenic park like location along the river made it perfect for enjoying some time on the terrace with a glass of wine.

I was presented with 8 spiders hanging from the INSIDE of my window and LOADS of webs. I... more

When we booked we (unknowingly) asked for a room for three people, two adults and 15 year old daughter, after checking in we discovered we were allocated a tiny room with one small double bed.....when we returned to reception to explain the mistake, they politely said... more

Food wonderful, resturant good, however room on the small side and very hot and pipes were noisy. Nice place although you enter through a housing estate it backs onto the river trent with beautiful views. more
