Rafters at Riverside House



Rafters at Riverside House restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.7
Lovely setting with pretty gardens and river views - it really felt like a little sanctuary. Breakfast was a highlight, the food was great and the staff were so friendly and attentive. Our garden room was comfortable and the little terrace was a nice addition. We loved the choux buns in our room on arrival!
The location is lovely, in a very picturesque village with a couple of pubs. We found ourselves wanting to spend more time in Bakewell and would’ve loved to be able to pop in and out without planning it around driving/parking but that’s just personal preference.
