For 6-months of the year I live out of B&B's because of my work, and in consequence my list of priorities may be different to those of others.
I visited The Riverside in September of 2011 with a group of seven people from Canada, and we all found The Riverside excellent for the following reasons.
I appreciate at a B&B.....
Immaculate Cleanliness -
The Riverside scores top marks here. Both bedrooms and public rooms are spotless, and the house smells fresh.
Well appointed rooms -
Riverside rooms are functional and very well equipped. They are very comfortable, and do the job very well, You can't ask more than that.
Warm rooms on cold days -
It was quite cold outside when we arrived at Riverside, so it was pleasant to find our rooms comfy and warm. So many B&Bs are like refrigerators, but the Riverside is lovely and warm.
Showers that work -
Riverside showers are excellent. Lots of pressure and lashings of hot water. So many B&B showers do not make even the most basic of requirements.
Warm friendly welcome, and helpful hosts - Charlie & Linda excel themselves here, and if required are on hand to give advice about the area.
Good Breakfasts -
The menu at the Riverside it quite extensive and adequate for most people. The food is cooked to order, and served on hot plates.
All in all the Riverside gets 100% all round from us.
In short a top quality B&B at extremely fair rates.
