Riverside Motel

Riverside Motel

10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I had a one night stay at Riverside. The bed was comfy, the room was large and very clean. Even though our room was closest to the main road along the river it was extremely quiet and we both slept well. We would definitely stay again. The staff were extremely friendly too. We highly recommend this accommodation."
