Riverside Lodge Hotel, Irvine

Lovely stay at the Riverside. Staff friendly and helpful and rooms spotless

Stayed 25th September 2022

Just returned from an overnight stay at Riverside Lodge Hotel in Irvine. The hotel is in a lovely setting although kind of out of the way and not within walking distance of much in the area. I had booked this for a quiet overnight stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had booked a deluxe double room which was lovely and spacious. Breakfast was great. The best advice I can give to anyone planning on staying at this hotel is when booking, please ask if they have any large functions taking place. The bar is not big enough to accommodate function guests and hotel guests! On arrival, there was a large crowd was gathered outside the entrance. You had to walk through a cloud of smoke! The crowd was for a wedding that was taking place. OMG, we walked in the reception to check in and you could hardly move! The wedding party had taken over the whole place. I could hardly hear myself think whilst We waited patiently in the queue to check in. By the time we eventually got checked in, a band had started singing in the bar area. I told the receptionist that I couldn’t hear a word she was saying and she just laughed! We left our bags in the room and planned on going to the bar for a quiet drink. How wrong were we, the wedding party was still in full flow within the bar and there was not a seat to be had. We left the hotel and went for a drive to the local shopping centre returning a while later. On our return we thought great, the wedding party were in the function suite and we could have a quiet drink. Following our dinner around 7pm we came out of the restaurant to be greeted again by the wedding party taking over the bar. No seats to be had anywhere in the place, I asked reception if there were any additional seating areas we could have a drink to be told that the wedding party would be returning to the function room shortly! It wasn’t until around 8.30pm that we managed to get a seat in the bar area when members of the wedding party started going back into the function suite. I should say that the wedding party were not the issue, they were just enjoying the day, the only issue we had was with the hotel facilities and not having available seating for ALL guests. Now I totally understand that the hotel has functions however it should not be at the detriment of their other hotel guests. So disappointing for our overnight anniversary stay!!!

Lovely hotel with great food. Drinks very expensive, around £7.50 for a pint! and extra course with meal nearly £10 (cheese and biscuits) no prices on menu for third course or drinks menu so be aware! Room was lovely but the beds were not comfortable and the bathroom was very dusty. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Got to stay at this Hotel due to an offer of DBB for £44.50pp this was an outstanding offer, the choices for dinner were superb and absolutely delicious, we paid the extra for a 3rd course only complaint was the sundae ordered for the price was more like a kids ice cream size but other than that overall great value. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

We spent a very enjoyable overnight at this very comfortable establishment. From the time we arrived, we were looked after by very friendly, attentive and professional staff without exception. The foyer is tastefully decorated and spacious as was the bar and restaurant. Well kept grounds and a good sized terrace were available to enjoy the sunshine. Our rooms were well furnished and all topped off with high quality cuisine. We have already booked to return later this year.

This hotel is excellent value for money. The inclusive dinner menu was well cooked and presented with plenty of choice. Breakfast was also very good. Bedroom furniture is a bit dated but perfectly acceptable. Service was mixed, excellent at dinner, rather patchy at breakfast. We would (and almost certainly will) return.

Lovely stay here.Food 1st class.If I had any complaints about the hotel it would that we found the rooms and hallway carpets could be doing with a good hoovering, also a bit wary of cleanliness in room when dogs are allowed to stay

Excellent Hotel Excellent Service My wife and I stayed for 4 nights from 29th Aug, room 157, We had a first class stay, we were B/B for 4 nights with 2 x evening meals. Buffet breakfasts ran like clockwork, all food was very good and all staff were welcoming. This hotel just seems to get better each time we stay

Staff are lovely food was really good only downside it would be our room as it was a little tired and dated compared to some of the rooms shown but certainly would not stop us going back! ? well worth a visit

Lovely hotel , good food , pleasant service and staff.

Stayed 31st August 2022

What excellent value (again!) Excellent food; friendly and helpful staff. A lovely, quiet location; lots of grounds for walking - and the beach only a mile away. Criticism: There seems to be NO attempt to care for the Environment: the often-found notices about saving towels for use on Day 2 (or put them in the bath: they'll be replaced) don't exist. Towels are just renewed daily (as are the soap bars!) - regardless. Shocking; careless; surprising ...? Would we stay there again: 'YES'!
