Riverside Rest Reviews

Stephen
Riverside Rest is the perfect retreat for us as a family , we love the peacefulness and the Riverside setting, the accommodation itself is beautiful, comfortable, clean and cosy , ive marked it down just a small notch , only because there is no WiFi, in this day and age all accommodation should have it , yes u can get a phone signal, and yes we can live without WiFi, but I think it's a more of a necessity these days , but I despite that , I would book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend to anyone looking at this property. Thank u so much Stephen
Sharron
Exceeded our expectations although some of the decking needed attention and the bbq hadn't been cleaned from previous user. The bridge over the river is closed but we enjoyed the walk into Builth Wells. Had a great weekend with family walking and even managed kayaking on the Wye.
Lovely lodge in a perfect, peaceful setting. Had everything we needed for a lovely week.
We had a lovely relaxed stay in a fabulous location. The accommodation was great, no complaints at all
Chalet 36B was absolutely fantastic, in an ideal position, brilliant. Just one small thing there was no toilet brush in the toiletshower room. I'm so sorry we forgot to take the takeout meal from the fridge. The potatoes were there when we arrived. Ps Thanks for a great stay
Sandra

Very nice comfortable property
Carole
What a lovely holiday home you have! We had been looking forward to it from the day we booked. Everything you can think of for a great stay away from home. It is tastefully furnished, a lot of thought gone into it. Immaculately clean in every room. Ideally situated on the park, lovely to sit out and listen to the river running by whilst whilst watching the squirrels up and down the trees, the rabbits playing and birds flying high above in the sky. Thank you for helping make our stay a memorable one. Will definitely be booking again.
Very relaxing every thing that we needed was catered for
Lovely place

Hallo dear Owner, we like your cottage near by the Riverside very much! Unfortunately there was no hot water since our second day. Several times we unsuccessfully tried to contact you, directly and per Sykes. It was frustrating. We also missed a lighter for the gas stove and a brush for the toilet. We recommend communication with your guests. Kind regards, Margareta
