Riverside House in Derbyshire Dales

Lovely place. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. And the food is out of this world.. James and Susan from London 👍

This was a comfortable hotel with a fine restaurant.To my mind this is now a fine restaurant with bedrooms.The removal of the lounges has reduced the friendly atmosphere of the hotel.The food was excellent and the new decor was first class, although not in keeping with the age of the building.

What a fabulous visit. From the moment we walked through the front door the service was friendly and faultless, ambiance warm and comforting, and the food simply outstanding. Best Sunday lunch ever ( and I’m a bit of a Sunday lunch lover so had rather a few!). Full marks to the full team - we look forward to many more visits!

Perfect from start to finish. Alistair, you’re absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for hosting us all, and for a wonderful day. Love and praise to the excellent team you have there, it was an unforgettable Sunday for all the right reasons! xxx

Amazing food and service.Very comfortable room with nice linen, coffee etc and a lovely bath.One grip. Please sort out the WiFi.

The service style and quality you would expect of Rafters have transitioned seamlessly over to Riverside House. All staff are attentive, but manage to make you feel relaxed and welcome. It's a fantastic balance, and the reason we love it so much.Getting onto the food, I lack the vocabulary to do it justice. It's phenomenal. The best I have ever tasted. We requested a vegan menu, which was creatively designed and had incredibly well balanced flavours throughout all the dishes. The knowledge and willingness from the chef to come up with this is fantastic. Combined with Al's wine pairings too, it's a unbelievable experience.Congratulations on all at Rafters. I look forward to visiting again soon!

Elegant hotel in a great location and a nice place to have lunch. A la carte and tasting menus offer much more choice.

Exquisite surroundings, outstanding food, charming staff. The place to come if you want to impress or say a really earnest thank you.

Very welcoming, friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Room was fabulous such a comfortable bed and the room felt so clean and fresh. We didn't stay for dinner but next time we stay we most definitely will soak up the atmosphere of the full relaxing experience.
