Riverside House Hotel

Bakewell

We had a family weekend to celebrate our mothers 89th birthday, what a treat. All the way through the booking, discussing our needs and service whilst there was impeccable. All the staff where extremely polite and helpful, the rooms adequate to our needs and cosy and meals in the restaurant, Rafters, first class. One guest was Coeliac and the gluten free options and service to cater for this was discrete and without fault. The hotel is in a beautiful village location right next to the river Wye and with walks from the doorstep, the walk along the river to Bakewell is a leisurely 45 minutes.
Whilst it is difficult to pick any one member of staff out for praise is extremely difficult, what I would say is that from a hotel communication perspective, Sarah was top of her game !
Highly recommend.

Cosy and warm hotel

Very friendly comfortable hotel.
We had the taster menu for dinner which was excellent, particularly with the wine pairing.
Room very clean and tidy, very comfortable bed and pillows. Novel (and welcome) to have a built in toothbrush charger in the bathroom. Unfortunately the drench shower was more of a dribble shower but didn’t detract from the overall experience.

Very comfortable stay with excellent food.

Comforting night away  following the the sad passing of my Husband.
So peaceful listening to the sound of the water in the garden area.
Excellent service from start to finish, rooms of a high standard, everything for the guest staying thought of.
Wonderful breakfast friendly Staff.
Delicious mini Bakewell tarts served complimentary with our coffee, so thoughtful.
I plan to bring our little dog next time and stay in a garden room.

The perfect one night stay.

Excellent stay in a luxury hotel in a beautiful location. Fantastic breakfast choice, serving 3 course and vegetarian options. Would not hesitate to stay again. There was a slight issue with missing items as we had booked last minute, however once staff informed this was dealt with right away :)

Little treat of a night away, we could not have chosen a better place.  As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted like a friend,  bags carried and taken to our room. I think the lady’s name was Sue, but whatever, she was brilliant: funny, charming, so helpful. 
We had a garden room, with doors out on to a private patio with loungers and table and chairs , just perfect on our sunny day.  Nice tea and coffee selection, they brought us more tea as we do drink a lot of tea!  The room wasn’t flash, but clean and comfy, nice bathroom with spa products. 
We had the a la cart dinner, which was just gorgeous, nice little nibbles in the bar first, then scrummy bread and their special butter, before the 3 course dinner.  The water is from a local producer that we were aware of from our hiking, Cragg Inn. 
The bed was comfy, we couldn’t hear the A6 traffic unless the window was open. 
The breakfast is served as a 3 course meal. We just didn’t do it justice after dinner . Proper fresh juice, yogurt ,muesli and fruit, toast and croissants, then a huge cooked Derbyshire breakfast. But they would provide what ever you wanted, we heard people ordering porridge . A charming server went out of her way to make sure a young mum who didn’t make it down, had everything she wanted taken to her.

This hotel is in a perfect location in the Peak District. Food is amazing. But, it’s the staff that make it. You can tell they all get on together, and really seem to enjoy their job. They seemed to be able to sort everything with a smile. Can’t wait to go back.

Perfect get away. Awesome staff

This establishment is less than an hours drive away so it’s an easy place to get to. The rooms are compact but very clean as is the bathroom. Lovely fluffy towels are on offer. The hotel staff are very friendly, helpful and professional in equal measure. There’s a nice bar area to sit in. All in all a very pleasant experience.

Excellent stay

This was a perfect getaway for a couple of days. The hotel is a perfect base for walks with a pub in the village and not too far from Bakewell. The hotel is very clean and modern but looks cosy and traditional. The main reason I will be returning to this hotel are the staff. I felt the staff  were genuine and friendly and were attentive at all times. We dined at the restaurant in the evening and it was exceptional. The service was at a high level and the food was at Michelin star level. The setting was very inviting and romantic . The next day we had the breakfast which I can honestly say was the best breakfast we have ever had. You can tell the chef has thought about this and presents the breakfast as a 3 course meal which was served with a smile by John (Manuel) and Heather.  I know this hotel will now be our regular getaway and the staff are a real credit .

Perfect, Cosy and Friendly staff

This hotel is in the perfect location for exploring some of the best sites in the Peak District. It is in a quiet village. I enjoyed walking along the river prior to breakfast. Breakfast is served in three courses. The ambiance and food make you feel like a treasured guest. Wish I had stayed more than one night. The WIFI was spotty in some locations in the Rafters room.

Amazing Breakfast!

This little hotel was a very good find and we had a very comfortable overnight stay with them last weekend.  Our daughter had organised a trip to Chatsworth House and we decided to stay nearby the night before our visit.  On looking for somewhere to stay, it seemed most of the hotels made a big feature of being dog friendly.  When people get asthma it isn’t always ideal staying in a place that allows dogs indoors and trying to find somewhere convenient to stay seemed to be a lost cause.  Well, we were so lucky to find this well run, friendly hotel with fantastic breakfasts.  

The room was comfortable and beautifully decorated, I slept really well, even though we had had a little difficulty with working out how to run a bath, which resulted in my hair being drenched and a visit from one of the lovely members of staff to show us how to work the taps!  Luckily the hair dryer was good and the unexpected hair wash, proved the shower was powerful and gave us a laugh too.

When you stay here, the most important things to note are, the lovely members of staff, the really good food, the attractive interior designs and the picturesque setting.  If you feel in need of a short break with a little bit of pampering from people who are hard working and kind, you would find it difficult to go anywhere better.

A Real Treat

Well done Rafters Riverside House Hotel for such a great lunch  and excellent service from all the staff, especially Amy who made us so welcome. We were shown round by Carol on reception to see the recent changes to the hotel layout inside and out, and the new function suite and so much investment since they took over. They have enhanced significantly what was already an interesting venue to create a top quality hotel with ample parking and a new rear dining garden area. Excellent value for money for the food and ambience. The Rafters food was great and  we will visit again.
