Riverside Inn, Aymestrey

Sadly just a short overnight stop at this wonderful hotel with restaurant. A delightful place in a great location. We wish we had time to explore the surroundings but hopefully next time. We had a very warm and friendly welcome. Our garden lodge was accessed via steps but we had constant offers for assistance with the luggage. The room was very cosy and very well equipped. We had a large decked patio area which would be perfect in the summer for pre dinner drinks. The evening meal was fabulous with a great wine list. The breakfast was also good. We will definitely return and hopefully stay longer.

Friends had recommended The Riverside as a good place to eat so we decided to take a mini break, visit nearby Croft Castle, and stay overnight at the hotel. Our arrival was very welcoming and we were personally taken to our suite and shown where everything was. The suite was very clean and thoughtfully arranged with lots of space and yet feeling cosy too. The en suite had a lovely walk in rainfall shower - shower mat in the cupboard! Nice toiletries too. There was a good selection of teas and coffee and a lovely pot of homemade flapjacks along with fresh milk and a carafe of water in a very silent little fridge. Bedding was lovely and crisp and the bed very comfy. We had a relaxing drink in the bar after settling in. There is a selection of good wines by the glass along with zero alcohol beers for my husband. Dinner was outstanding and every course was delicious. Pride and care have been taken to ensure as much as possible is sourced locally - including from their own gardens and this is reflected in the quality of the food. Prices are reasonable and portions generous. Breakfast was a perfect start to the day - beautifully cooked scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and toast plus marmalade and jam - all homemade and super tasty. I had read some of the 5* reviews from previous guests on Trip Advisor so was quietly hopeful our stay would be a good one. It certainly was and we do wish the lovely people we met there all the very best in the future.

The place to stay! We have now stayed twice in last 3 weeks as we loved it that much. The stable room and the room above the hayloft in the old barn have been transformed into a little piece of heaven. All staff are welcoming and friendly but George and imogen went above and beyond. I was due surgery the first time and had a restricted diet and second time even more requirements, but no issues the chef had prepared lots of choice even as awkward as my requests were. The food… wow!! Beef cheek melted, duck incredible and the breakfast was stunning. Highly advise a stay here beautiful place on the river and staff incredible. Oh and the white chocolate fudge with lemon and poppyseed was insane. We will be back Paul & Marie

Practically perfect in every way! Beautiful accommodation,divine food,setting and ambience wonderful,all staff are very attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. Our welcome was outstanding and our comfort and contentment ensured by all the tiny aspects of attention to detail. George is outstanding as is his dedication and passion for excellence! Andy and his team in the kitchen are unsurpassable with regards to their exceptional culinary skills. Just the best Christmas ever!! Thanks to you all xxx

I had an impromptu, but wonderful, stay at The Riverside Inn last week as I became stranded due to the flooding. Arriving quite late I was made to feel most welcome. I hadn't eaten, and despite the kitchen having finished serving for the evening, they provided me with a delicious meal and dessert. The garden room I stayed in was beautiful, like a hobbit house! I cannot thank the staff enough for their efforts, they went above and beyond for this stranded traveler. I can't wait to return and sample their full dining menu in earnest. Heath.

Staff efficient friendly. Lovely homely but modern feel to the property..Everything was just perfect 👌. Im usually very critical of at least one thing as I'm a stickler for perfection. The Riverside Inn was really good. We only booked for 1 night was the downside!!!!
