Comfortable room, bed, pillows, heating. Excellent breakfast for such a comparatively small number of rooms. Not made sufficiently clear that there is no en suite on the single room, but in fact the single use bathroom opposite is probably larger than you would get as an ensuite. The lack of reception staff is disconcerting, but the key codes work.
Overnight stop for meeting the following day. Stayed here before in the same room, nice and cosy accommodation. Super location near the river Great Ouse, will definitely stay here again.
Beautiful setting, clean and tidy property, well decorated with cosy furnishings. Included a good breakfast. Was near the railway station and a superstore.
Lovely location and view .
Big room and comfortable bed .
Super bathroom.
The room was too hot overnight and we couldn't adjust the heating or have a window open as on ground floor .
Light in hallway bright all night wbich also disturbed sleep

Great stay
Really enjoyed our stay at Riverside Inn. Had a lovely downstairs room beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. Super view over the river and boats. Breakfast was great too and no problems when asking for gluten free bread. Very friendly and helpful staff.
We had a lovely stay. Our room was immaculate and spotlessly clean.
The river view was beautiful. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of selection.
Would definitely stay again even though train noise was quite disurbing at times
Two night stay good location, close to train station. Easy walk into town to visit the cathedral.

Great B & B
Great place to stay free parking nearby and a short walk into town.
Good places to eat nearby and generally lovely and quiet.
Room is clean and comfortable and the breakfast was brilliant, we would definitely stay there again
The room was very clean, good size bathroom with underfloor heating, bed and pillows were very comfortable. For me the duvet could have been thicker as I turn the heating off overnight but that’s personal preference. Overall a really good stay and will come back soon.
