The Riverside at Aymestrey

A rare gem where every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. The service is first class, little things like remembering on the second day that I liked brown sauce with my fry up and noticing that the heavy winds were blowing something into the security light outside where we were sleeping and sorting it out. No asking, just done before I’d had need to raise it. All the staff were friendly and never more than a moment away. The food is that brilliant balance of high-end dining and concepts but with simple, high quality ingredients that are locally sourced. Delicious, varied, and well priced. Excellent Negroni, to rival the best I’ve tried. Top fried breakfast, truly, go just for that. I like a black coffee and theirs was first class. They take a breakfast time and order the night before so they have capacity to cook it freshly in the morning. It’s January so the river was roaring away with the window ajar in a cozy, impeccably clean suite. The bed was turned down every day, the bathroom refreshed. A high pressure and hot shower. I won’t hesitate to stay here again.
