Riverdale Hall Country House Hotel in Northumberland

Expensive food where the quality does not meet the price point. Lasagne- not impressed at all, oven chips for restaurant prices and overall just not a great experience. We wouldn’t return. We also ate in the bar and it was so warm that we had to leave.

Evening meal at this popular hotel/restaurant. Don’t be put off by odd decor - the meal was excellent, well presented, tasty and a lot better than your average pub grub. Staff were polite, friendly and attentive. Highly recommended

Stayed with my family for one night. We wanted a nice little break before my wife goes back to work after maternity leave. All the staff were excellent and accommodating of a small baby. The room was nicely decorated and immaculately clean. We used the pool which was lovely. You do have to pre book this though, which we were not aware of but luckily there was space. We also had dinner and breakfast at the hotel which were both excellent. I would go far to say that the cooked breakfast was the best I have eaten in a long time. We walked in the hotel grounds in the morning which are located right by the river and very scenic. Overall we had a lovely stay and will definitely come back to Riverdale.

Tried this hotel for food. WOW!!.. I'm a Google influence so I'm real and true about my reviews. They smashed it out of the park Amazing food Brilliant service Beautiful building Great drink selection Gorgeous views!!

What fantastic food and great service. We had a lovely waiter who let us taste a couple of local ales and clearly knew his trade well. The king prawns were cooked to perfection, we were offered water for our table and a choice of tables. The place was the right temperature at this time of year too! The sea bream with prawn and mussel sauce was absolutely delicious. My wife had the gravadlax and the pork fillet which was also cooked to perfection. We were too full for dessert but our lovely young waiter made me a decaf Irish coffee and was really polite and professional. Can’t wait to visit again!

Lovely hotel, great setting. But there’s a ‘however’ coming… We’re in Bellingham for a week and thought we’d treat ourselves to a nice Sunday lunch at their ‘gourmet restaurant ‘ with a ‘Les Routiers Gold Plate Restaurant Award’, creating ‘mouth-watering dishes’. So, ignoring the other restaurants in the lovely wee village, we thought we’d go here and splash out a bit. We’d tried to book for 1 o’clock but we’re told either 12:45 or 1:30. Busy then! So we chose the latter. Only about 3 tables in use though, and more atmosphere on the Moon. Starters looked less than average, so gave them a miss. Roast beef was plentiful and ok (carrots devoid of a ‘bite’ and seemed cooked hours ago). Desserts looked as if they came straight from a deep freeze, so gave them a miss too. French wine was delicious (but then that’s the French for you). But served in glasses not much bigger than a thimble. Staff looked as if they needed a personality injection (apart from one local lad who did his best). On asking to settle up we got ‘here’s your bill!’ (So sorry to be a nuisance, pet’). Thank goodness there was no electronic request for a tip during the payment process. I thought it’s a good job there’s a minimum wage nowadays otherwise the staff would be lobbying church mice for support. However, it was just adequate and not overly expensive.

Hotel is beautiful, with amazing views. The staff outstanding could do enough, food out of this world. Also has an indoor pool which we didn’t try this time but we will when we revisit. Great access to Scotland, Kielder Newcastle Perfect hotel

We had a lovely evening meal at a nice table in the window. We had the garlic mushroom starter, cod main course and beef studded with haggis followed by banoffee pie. Every dish was delicious. Food arrived very quickly and staff were friendly and attentive. Only wish we had brought our swimming stuff and there a pool which diners can use. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food both in choice and quality. Also great service especially by lovely Sue. Thanks Sue you made our dining experience so lovely xx

We visited for the restaurant for an evening meal while staying at the nearby campsite. We had the 2 course menu and shared a cheese board. The sea bass and the roast beef were delicious. Good menu choice at a reasonable price. Well worth a visit if you are looking for something different or a change from the usual bar meal menu.

Booked in for a three course meal for two and informed them of a food intolerance. Upon arrival we were warmly met and the waitress gave me an amended menu to show what food I could eat after they had made adjustments to the menu. This was very unexpected and much appreciated. The quality and taste of the food was top quality and the service exceptional. All of the staff are a credit and particular mention must go to our waitress and the chef. I would not hesitate in recommending this restaurant and we will certainly call again, the next time we are in the area

Excellent food great choices. We dinned both nights and found the food good quality and plenty of it.

Spent four days at this lovely hotel. Staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Room was very comfortable. Breakfast good as was the evening meal we tried once. Definitely go back one day

Lovely food-even basic starters were really well presented and tasty. Great steak and fish and pleasantly served.

Stayed for 3 nights in June 2021. Room bright clean and spacious. Overlooking a cricket field and the river. Food was perfect evening meal excellent. Staff very friendly, helpful and good service. We enjoyed ourselves so much have booked to go back later in the year.

Small country hotel. Excellent staff, very willing to help and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. A bit of a rabbit warren with dates decor but a good atmosphere all the same. They have rooms in a small annex with direct access to a large grassed area blessing down to the river. Excellent for dog owners.

Had a meal in the restaurant. The meal quality was great and hot . The service was efficient and friendly. The three courses for £26.50 . Social distancing easy and you feel safe to be in the dining room. Great weekend break

The staff are friendly and Covid Aware. Reasonable Covid precautions are in place. The dining room was quite busy with guests as well as visiting diners such as us. Sadly there was no cask ale on tap but I understand this is temporary. We both enjoyed our meals.

We dined here recently on our way back down from Scotland.Very welcoming atmosphere with cheese and crisps on the bar for drinkers.Lovely wait staff who made our short stay very enjoyable. Oh,and the sunday dinner was really really nice.Go here as soon as possible and come away smiling. Love finding places lke this.

You can’t judge a book by its cover, nor a restaurant by its decor. My wife and I stayed here for two nights and the hotel, bar, restaurant, and bedrooms looked a bit run down. But the staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was much better than we expected. We ate in the restaurant both nights and there was more on the menu we would have liked to try.The coarse mushroom and Stilton pate with chilli jam and walnut bread was one of the best starters I have had for a long time.The trout was perfectly cooked and presented on a bed of spinach and potatoes. The wine list was again much bigger than I had expected for a remote country hotel, and reasonably priced. Both the Gavi and the Fleurie were excellent.We will come again.

I arrived here and asked for a room and a meal. I was told they were fully booked and had no room. They could provide a meal but it would be several hours. They were businesslike and brusque; I went elsewhere, and will not return.

In truth, I am prompted to write this review because first impressions of the hotel proved wrong. When you walk in it feels like a hotel more in tune with the 1970s. However the dinner which we shared with our friends later in the evening was delicious...so I would recommend a visit.

We walked out the short distance from Bellingham Town unable to find a meal in town on a busy weekend evening. The Riverdale were also busy with a veteran car event locally but made a table available to us after a short wait. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was worth waiting for and was very reasonably priced.

Lovely evening meal, plenty of choice. My husband is quite hard to please and he loved his Gammon. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious. The breakfast here is very nice too.

I meet up with a few old school friends every June and we always stay at the riverdale it is friendly, clean , and for the star rating it has , it even has a swimming pool which we use as well would highly recommend this hotel

My husband and I have an evening meal and breakfast when we stayed in one of the apartments for a couple of days. The breakfast was very nice, cereals, fruit, yoghurts, juice, tea/coffee and toast and cooked breakfast too if you want (we did).The evening meal we had was wonderful! The service was attentive and polite on each occasion. I’m very glad we are too lazy to self cater or we would have missed out :)

I just want to say i came to the hotel 2 weeks ago ,as a guest for a wedding and want to say the food was very good ,but I want to thank the service staff and especially Lee and Emily for putting up with us drunken southerners and keeping us company until the early hours they were most help full would love to visit the area again at some point.

Visited here for tea with the family while staying at a local campsite. The food was delicious and reasonably priced and the staff friendly.

Just a normal Tuesday in Bellingham, my friend and I decided to go along to Riverdale for an evening meal, even though this is a local restaurant to me I still booked anyway (as I always would) which I’m so glad we did, it was really busy for a Tuesday evening but the atmosphere in the restaurant is so relaxing it wasn’t a ‘loud’ busy just very calm. All 3 of the staff we seen were very friendly and fabulous multitaskers and nothing was a problem. My steak was cooked to perfection where my friends fish and chips were absolutely huge and looked fabulous and the sticky toffee pudding was an absolute must.

We had a delicious and very generous meal. Good wine list and very warm welcome from friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit for dinner but beware of large portions!

The accommodation here is comfortable and other reviews have said it all. The restaurant however, is the jewel in the crown. We , my wife and I, spent a very pleasant 2 hours over a 3 course dinner. The menu is wisely fairly small, but covers all the bases. The chefs are obviously well aquatinted with their dishes and the presentation was first class. An extensive wine list is a bonus, but without an expensive price tag. Service is good too and the awards that this restaurant has been awarded are well justified. I look forward to my breakfast.

Enjoyed a substantial and tasty Sunday family lunch at the Riverdale. Cuts of meat locally sourced it seems, certainly cooked to perfection. Wider a la carte menu looked very appetising. Accommodated in the bar as our family included two of three lovely dogs, as well as two small children and our adult group. We were made to feel completely welcome while other diners taken through to restaurant when their tables became ready; meant we could relax and enjoy our meals (and so could they!) The Riverdale as a hotel appears to be very flexible and able to cater for diverse customers whether looking for complete relaxation or as a base for more active pursuits of which there are many to be enjoyed in the area. We noted for future reference that diners have free use of the hotel pool facilities.

We came for a 2 night stay when it snowed really bad but still made it! We arrived around 8pm at night due to traffic and road closures, the staff were very understandable and so lovely about the situation. I had been in contact with the staff by email to say we was still coming. When we finally arrived we were greeted at the reception desk with friendly staff and was showed personally to our room. The room was a very clean large room with a huge bed, en suit and a beautiful snowy view from our window. We had a good breakfast and also had dinner in the restaurant one evening too. Our meals were presented well and good portion sizes. The food was a little pricey but was worth every penny! The menu had plenty of variety.

had one meal here it was a good meal,we had the bar menu we felt it was better. our stay was pleasent,room lovely,view too.no complaints

We stayed here for only one night in the chalet at the rear of the hotel.

Helpful staff, beautiful grounds, comfort bed, fabulous food. We had a wonderful nights stay, great walks from the door and an onsite pool to stretch tired legs before dinner. Will be back.

This is a very nice hotel, with a friendly and welcoming feel. The bed was comfortable and the hotel quiet, so we slept well. The restaurant is very good and is their mainstay. There is a general sense of a lack of maintenance around the building, which is the only negative. Good value for money and there is a decent swimming pool too.

He visitado este restaurante con mi familia y nos tomamos el desayuno y la cena. El personal era muy amable y servicial. De nuevo, la comida era muy sabrosa. La comida estaba hecha de productos locales que da valor de ir allí por la comida. Desea visitar de nuevo.

Preguntamos en recepción si los perros eran permitidos en la zona del bar, y nos alegramos de que este era perfectamente admisible. Tuvimos una muy abundante comida (raciones grandes! En el bar,) bien sólida en inglés (sin pretensiones) comidas que disfrutamos mucho. Buen servicio y personal amable.

Nos alojamos una noche en marzo.

Nos alojamos una noche de principios de marzo, la habitación era preciosa, con muy buen gusto. Muy amable, la comida era buena. Lo recomiendo.

Fuimos a cenar, y nos sentamos en el restaurante cerca de una encantadora chimenea, el personal era estupendo, y la comida era encantador. También nos dieron una copa de espumante con nuestra comida, ya que estaba cerca el día de San Valentín. Me encantó la caballa cálido de arranque, luego pescado, carne para mí, para mi marido. Cesta snap brandy con ron y pasas y helado para budines. Realmente relajante comida, y recomendaría este hotel fue abierto cuando eran otros lugares cerrados ya que es invierno y no tantos visitantes a mediados de semana.

Mi marido y yo tuvimos una cena en Bellingham y nos dijo que la comida era la mejor que tuvimos en cualquier parte - vamos por una comida mucho!

No pude conseguir una mesa hasta después de las 8 pm, fue a mediados de la semana, así que esperábamos que el lugar para ser ocupado. Fuimos a la encontrar el comedor casi vacío.

What a lovely break this was. Quiet, peaceful and a calm way of life.All the staff are very friendly and pleasant. The food is excellent, The hotel itself is different from the norm, being originally a residential hall, but interesting. The room we were in was very clean, spacious and well laid out but it was near the road which was a little noisy for us. The receptionist told us to request a different room on next visit. There is an indoor swimming pool and sauna which seems to get well used.It is only a short walk to the village. There are some lovely drives around Keilder forest and lake and a trip to Otterburn is well worth it.

Stayed here for two nights on an Hotel Exclusives Voucher. Lovely hotel with friendly, efficient staff who all seem very happy. We had a beautiful room overlooking the river. We ate in both nights, bar menu on 1st night. Very good and value for money. The 2nd night we ate in the restaurant. We both had a wonderful meal. Congratulations to the Chef.,, it was superb..Guests can also use the Pool and Sauna, pool towels supplied.

The food here is some of the best I have had.Lamb was cooked to perfectionDesert was excellent.Service was very friendly and quick.Not much more to say really other than this is a lovely place to eat.Summary: if your in the area definitely visit here as its great.

If you have a meal, you can also go for a free swim, not sure I'd bother again, no lockers for your clothes, only one shower and small changing area, and pool was warm, but smelt of strong chorine. However once we had done the swimming the meal was lovely, well presented and cooked. There is a set menu which changes each day, but both of us found something on there we would enjoy. They also do bar menu if you don't like the choose, however they seem to add £3 on if you eat it in the restaurant, which only included two pieces of bread, the charge seemed excessive.

Food was fantastic and staff very friendly room basic but comtable. only thing I could fault was having to manover past dirty laundry bags in corridor from arrival to leaving .

We needed a few days away after a really awful time. As this was not too far from where we live and my son wanted to cycle there it seemed ideal. The food was fab, the room a bit tired but fine.

Booked a table for 8 for a reunion lunch. Welcome was very friendly, staff nice people, drinks arrived promptly. Surroundings and decor were very pleasant, nice relaxed atmosphere. Menu was somewhat restricted but as we were the only people dining that is perhaps understandable. My choice was mackerel followed by medallions of pork then cheesecake to finish, really enjoyable and very nicely presented. The only downside was the size of the portions which were rather on the small side, they might have been larger considering the price.(£157 for 8 people ) All in all it was an enjoyable experience and on balance I would probably return again.

We were camping up the road at the local site and popped in for dinner along with our two dogs. The hotel has the feel of a traditional British country hotel, the parts of the building we saw looked very nice and well cared for. The staff in the bar we friendly and the dogs very welcome. My partner and I both really enjoyed our meals, my pheasant breast was perfect. If we pop down to Bellingham again for a weekend, as we intend to, Riverdale will definitely be on the itinerary.

We came here with friends last Saturday. The service was friendly & efficient.The Cheese & onion soup was superb. I had rump of lamb which was also excellent.There was a choice of ales which was more than acceptable. Sadly my wife had the mushroom stroganoff which she did not enjoy thus dropping my rating to very good from excellent.

We came here for dinner although staying at another hotel. We were not disappointed as the meal was very good as was the service and choice of wines.

We stayed in one of the self catering apartments which was a good size for a family of four. However we ate on a couple of occasions in the hotel restaurant and the quality was fantastic. There is also a swimming pool and sauna to relax in and a lovely riverside walk. The local town is well equipped and is only 10 minutes walk away.

The hotel is located in a good position to explore the surrounding Northumberland countryside and coastal region. Food and service was very good. Our bedroom was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and modern. We didn't try out the pool and sauna this trip but will definitely consider the hotel for future trips to that area of the country.

Stuck in a time-warp, the Riverdale is in desperate need of a face-lift, with uninspiring decor. The restaurant spreads into several areas when it is busy and the whole of the downstairs area is something of a maze, with first-timers struggling to find their bearings to get to the toilet/bar/exit.That apart, the food was good, if a little bland - we went on Mother's Day for a Sunday lunch type meal. It was busy and the staff coped well with the numbers. Portion sizes were no more than adequate, with vegetable portions a bit mean, I thought. Price-wise it was a little cheaper than I thought it might have been. £9.90 seems to be a favoured main meal price. You could also choose several cheaper options off the bar menu which made for a wide choice - no issue finding something to suit everyone - in fact if that dreadful woman off the telly were visiting, she'd be imploring the chef to cut down on the menu options.All in all, a good family meal was enjoyed. I would go back.

Wystrój faktycznue hotelu *** gwiazdkowego jednak jedzenie bardzo mnie milo zaskooczylo. Śliwki, sałatka owocowa, bardzo szeroki wachlarz płatków na sniadanie smacznie i zdrowo . Bardzo mi to odpowiadalo. Jedyny minus to brak owsianki.

Entrance area/ reception is not impressive, so wondered what the rest would be like. Lovely, though small garden room overlooking cricket field. Planned to eat in hotel one evening and elsewhere the next. However the food and service were so good we ate in again. Local produce used and all food was lovely. Staff very helpful and friendly

I stayed here in December for my boyfriends birthday we booked DBB which was nice. We stayed in a garden room over looking the cricket ground so lovely views. The food was excellent in the restaurant good selection and the staff where freindly and helpful. The pool is an added bonus and also not far from keilder for a drive or walk. I love this place and will be visiting again in March 2016 for my birthday.

We have eaten here a few times and have always been delighted with the standard of food. Today we had Christmas lunch and it was amazing! Plenty of choice apart from the usual traditional Christmas fayre. Well done to the chefs and the lovely staff.

As always, eating here is a real pleasure. We visit three or four times a year - menu is always fresh and different and the service is excellent. We enjoy reading the imaginative dish descriptions which always reflect what arrives. Delicious. The portions are generous so we have never yet managed three courses - so that makes decisions very hard - starters or puds - when both are so tempting. You could always take a walk along the river first to work up an appetite - lovely at any time of year, but especially in autumn.

Amazing food, the menu changed every evening and reasonable prices. Very nice breakfast too, good service.

Always very busy. Staff very friendly and food good except not much variety in vegetables. Cauliflower, broccoli and carrots with roast potatoes.Meat plentiful and good. The biggest gripe I have is that the plates are never hot, barely warm resulting in the meal being cold before we finish. Other places we visit have mashed potatoes and new potatoes too and a dish of usually five different vegetables and a choice of four gravies on very hot plates.

Stayed and had dinner. Very good starter of breaded beetroot wedges followed by very good chicken stuffed with red peppers and chorizo, wrapped in Parma ham. Pork fillet also very good. Sticky date sponge with butterscotch sauce very good. Rate dinner higher than other restaurants in Bellingham.

We went for an evening meal. The staff in the bar area were good and very helpful. The staff in the restaurant were nice but fairly incompetent. They were just walking past people that had clearly finished eating and were not picking up their plates. They were busy setting up the tables for the morning rather than concentrating on serving those in for an evening meal. The food was ok but rather felt like we had been transported back to the 1980's with the crockery and presentation. Why would you put green salad with red onions underneath king prawns with chilli, coriander.

We went there on bank holiday weekend so everywhere were so busy so we end up in hotel bar. Staff was so friendly and helpful even though it was so busy. I ordered Pork Medallion. It was very delicious.

We had a wonderful meal at a great price. The fillet steak was superb and just melted in your mouth. It was also half the price that we would usually pay. The staff were attentive and very efficient. Just a shame we didn't find this gem sooner in our stay as we would have eaten here every night. Many thanks!

First night as hotel residents, decided to stay and eat in. Seated quickly (Monday, so quiet), good choice of dishes and wines. Very pleasant meal, all freshly cooked and seasonal. Very nice.Second night after a hard day playing tourist, decided to have a light meal in the bar. Again plenty of choice plus specials. All very nice. Recommended.

We went in to an hotel in Bellingham for a Bar Lunch and stood at the Bar for ten minutes while the Bar staff were more interested in talking to the drinkers . We felt unwanted so left and went to the Riverdale Hall which is just outside Bellingham.We still intended having a Bar meal but when we saw the Restaurant Lunch Menu we opted for it and were not disappointed.The restaurant is very inviting with fresh crisp tables cloths and napkins. My wife had a mushroom starter which she enjoyed and I had the poached pear with stilton and walnuts which was delicious - mainly because the pear was perfectly cooked in red wine with a hint of spices.My main course was fillet of hake with butter beans and it was lightly grilled , full of flavour and most enjoyable.To be over critical the grounds looked a bit in need of TLC but do not be put of by this as the food is outstanding. If in the area again we will certainly go back.

Visited riverdale hall on a living social voucher £99 one night stay with breakfast and evening meal for two people, opted for the salmon and crab starter then the belly pork which was really nice. The hotel was really relaxed with good spacious room,just a short walk to the village centre.

Like the relaxed atmosphere and the superb food in the restaurant .the menu is always extensive and the food of the highest quality.Staff friendly and will strive to make your stay a pleasant one.The rooms whilst being very spacious are good but on my last visit were in need of a little tlc. However the food and the atmosphere more than make up for this and I would recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful break in a wonderful setting. There are loads of tourist attractions within easy driving distance so there is always something to do. I have visited many times in the past and will visit many times in the future.

Very disappointed with their Sunday lunch. Frozen green beans, frozen carrots, frozen roast potatoes and packeted roast beef. Completely tasteless maybe it was just as well the portions were small. Worth avoiding.

Im a local at this hotel and just love the atmosphere here its sooo homely.had sunday lunch here last weekend and I tell you it was fantastic roast beef with yorkies all homemade as well no plastic meat and frozen yorkshires, I had merigue nests full of strawberries and chantilly creme drizzled with raspberry couli nloomin nora it was the size of my plate but boy was it lovely.the staff were clean and very polite and nothing was a problem come have a day out and come see for yourself you wont be disappointed.

Very good menu. Extensive wine list, Well presented and cooked food, good service, overall a very good experience.

Have stayed here before and always found staff and service excellent. Just popped in for lunch this time as staying in holiday cottage in Bellingham. Could not fault anything - great service - whoever manages this place has got it right - keep up the good work!

Our party of eight enjoyed our meal so much we came back for a second time.An excellent choice of good quality English dishes was provided together with a small but interesting wine list, all very well served by friendly local staff. How nice to hear the beautiful North East dialect, rather than the now ubiquitous East European instruction to "enjoy"!

Probably one of the best fillet steak meals I've ever had!! Absolutely fantastic! The staff were great and friendly ..nothing was too much trouble...I would recommend this place for food and drinks to any of my friends and family!

This restaurant was recommended to us by the manager of the local campsite at which we were staying. Thankfully we could take our dog into the bar and the menu looked fine. The problem was the drinks, they had no Pinot Grigio (probably the worlds most popular wine) and the other 2 wines I bought my partner tasted like vinegar. My first pint of Carlsberg was warm and had a strange after taste, my second pint was San Miguel which tasted of cleaning fluid. Unfortunately due to the badly kept bar we never tasted the food and moved on elsewhere!

Excellent Sunday lunch.Lamb was delicious, Yorkshire puds were homemade and perfectly crisp, vegetables were AL-Dante just as I like them but not to everyone's taste.Sweets were excellent although the coffee was a little thin.

Was a quiet evening only a few diners, sat in a pleasant alcove. Average starters, followed by fillet steak, asked for rare but it came very medium, as usual we were asked if everything was ok and this time I said no! how brave. The took my steak away so the chef could see it he agreed it was overdone for a rare one! no more fillet left! but was offered a sirloin which I declined, chips were good, but did not really enjoy my evening though they did not charge for the steak.

Popped in for a bit of lunch on a hot , sunny Monday lunchtime. Nobody in so can't really judge the atmosphere , however , the prawn cocktail and Bacon and Brie baguette were great ... But the HAND CUT CHIPS ... We're gorgeous and served BT a very pleasant lady .. Worth a visit !!

Very comfy room overlooking the garden. Very friendly staff. Extremely good restaurant food reasonably priced.

Excellent meal. Upgraded form inclusive Table d'Hote menu to a la carte, but cost very reasonable and quality high.

Staff great, friendly,polite,helpful,special thanks to Lee on the bar for his directions to our next destination.food 5 star at 3 star prices, breakfast all fresh produce sourced locally, large choice. Our room large and clean with huge bathroom with walk in shower and bath. Great value for money.

Beautiful location, some of the decor is slightly shabby, warm greeting and the room was lovely with views down to the river, we didn't eat there at night but the breakfast was fantastic,I'll definately be returning in the summer

Went on a travelzoo deal which got us an upgrade to a garden suite which was really great,we had our own decking area to sit out on overlooking the grounds.The food was delicious the staff were lovely all in all a great place to stay.& cracking value on food and drinks which makes a nice change so well done Riverdale

We enjoyed a one night stay at the Riverdale Hotel courtesy of Travelzoo. Our room was clean and spacious with lovely views over open fields. As others have mentioned the bathroom was quite dingy and the avocado suite was definitely long overdue for upgrading but how long do you spend in the bathroom? Dinner in the restaurant was superb. The best we have ever had with this type of deal and it won't be long before we return.

We were on a long weekend staf on a very good offer, we ate twice in the restaurant which was really nice itself, the menu had pretty good choice and the staff were very helpful if a little forgetfull at times, the food was overall very good, I can personally recommend the pheasant

The dinner, I ordered smoked salmon and crab tatare. It was lovely it had a sort of salsa, onions tomato, cucumber, capers.I had panfried sea bass as a main with crushed new potatoes and overcooked veggies. Unfortunately they put more of that salsa on the plate. To too much.Breakfast, I ordered creamy scambled eggs with smoked salmon. The eggs were very far from creamy, they were well done and a bit rubbery (I did not eat it)

like my title says, the staff are rude and the hotel is average. might use again, might not to be honest.

Overall was good and would definatly go back.Menu sounded really great but food wasn't as good as we had expected.Some food was under cooked and sometimes food not very hot.Some combinations of the food was overpowering or underwhelming.

Went with friends atmosphere good,, service was excellent ,prices were fine ,if i had to find one negative it was the vegetables were hard bordering on raw, i know this is the way others do it but not for me or my friends ,but everything else on plate was first class .Over all we would all go back again

Food was fantastic, one of the best meals I've eaten in a restaurant for a long time. We eat out quite a bit and this was definitely one of my top 5!! The staff were friendly and accommodating and the whole place has a homely feel to it. Would recommend this place to our friends

A nice location. The bar had a nice atmosphere. Good service and good beer. The food was OK, but not cheap.

We waited 45 minutes after ordering. Two out of four in our group chose lamb. It was inedible, far too tough. When the recipient complained, she was told : I'll tell the chef. No comment or apology came from the chef. We waited still more for our deserts.
