It was wonderful. The room and grounds were beautiful. There was a shuttle that took us into town so we didn’t have to worry about driving at night after enjoying the pub. Staff was extremely polite and helpful.

A lovely overnight stay at the Riverside after a full day at Longleat! The staff were incredibly friendly and professional. There was even a comp drink on arrival and taxi to/from Salisbury town centre in the evening which was unexpected. Breakfast was great too. Special thanks to Nora on reception - and Jason for his shuttle services!

The rooms were very clean and modern. There were some little extras ,like a chocolate and voucher , that were a lovely gesture. The position is ideal for the shops and Cathedral. Thank you for our night it was wonderful.
