“There's a reason we keep coming back!!”

Reviewed 2 May 2013

We love the Riviera, we loved it even before the work was done to the bathrooms and dining rooms. We've been coming for Goth Weekend for a few years now and Zed and Emma are always so friendly and attentive. We first came to the hotel because of the location, it's so close to town and the Spa, yet has... More

“A lovely time at the Riviera”

I have recently been to the riviera where the reception was warm, water hot and beds as cosy as you could wish for. The young couple running the hotel are full of energy and more than welcome to help with anything, whether it be to add an extra bit of bacon to my breakfast or where to advise to go... More

“Disappointing”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

Stayed there at end of March mainly based on the positive reviews on here, although I'll know not to take too much notice of them in future. Stayed in one of the sea facing rooms, which was a nice view, the décor looked OK and had recently been done although some of the paint looked like a 5 year old... More

Many thanks for taking the time to provide us with your thoughts, I am sorry that you were not happy with your stay. We very much appreciate your positive comments about the sea-views, the plentiful breakfast and staff. I am very apologetic about the water during your stay with us. When you mentioned it at first, we found that the... More

“Loved It!”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

The Riviera Guest House was a great base for a romantic 2 night break. The views from room 2 were amazing and the actual room was the most comfortable we had stayed in for a long time. The only problem with bathroom was the fact that the bath narrowed down in the middle making it difficult to get two people... More

It was really pleasing to read that we had met, if not exceeded, your expectations and it was very kind of you to take time out of your day to inform other guests of your experience.

“could be better”

Reviewed 4 April 2013

Whilst the overall location of the Riviera is great, the facilities on offer were lacking. The family room was situated at the back of the hotel, which I was aware of on booking; but the room was not really big enough for a family room and there were no chairs in the room at all, and the beds were not...
