Overview

On the banks of the Rivers Avon and Nadder, in the water meadows of Harnham, The Riverside, offers one of the loveliest outlooks in Salisbury. This contemporary manor-house hotel sits in around an acre and a half of landscaped grounds, with the great spire of Salisbury Cathedral rising across the meadows. It is the view that painters have chased for centuries, and from the terrace it is yours. Inside, the refurbished en suite rooms blend modern comfort with character, while Mark's Bar opens onto a terrace overlooking the river. On a warm evening, take your drink down to the riverside pagoda and watch the cathedral catch the last of the light. A complimentary evening shuttle runs into the city for those who would rather leave the car. The heart of historic Salisbury is a stroll away, with the cathedral, its Magna Carta, and the Salisbury Museum all close at hand. Beyond, the earthworks of Old Sarum and the standing stones of Stonehenge make easy excursions across the Wiltshire plain. The Garden Room and ample grounds suit gatherings of every kind. Settle at The Riverside, WorldHotels Distinctive hotel beside the water and let Harnham's timeless view do the rest.

The service and staff were frequently described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Many guests appreciated the spacious and comfortable rooms.
