Riverside Lodge Hotel Irvine

Reviews

1. CarrieAnne McLaughlan ★★★★★

   Visited today around 3pm for lunch with my colleague and had such a fantastic experience. From the moment we walked in, the lady who served us (with long dark hair and a lovely accent) couldn’t have been warmer or more welcoming; it was some of the best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time. She was incredibly attentive throughout without ever being intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was wonderful with great music creating a relaxed vibe, and everything was very reasonably priced. An all-round fantastic visit — I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend!

   Riverside Lodge Hotel, Irvine – 60th Birthday Stay We booked five rooms for my husband’s 60th birthday and kept it all a surprise — he had no idea the rest of the family were staying too, which made the whole weekend really special. The hotel gave us a lovely upgrade to the Arran Suite, which was such a thoughtful touch. The room was spacious, beautifully presented, and the bed was so comfortable I genuinely didn’t want to get out of it! Even with the hotel being fully booked, we didn’t hear a sound during the night — so impressed with how peaceful it was. We stayed half board and enjoyed a two-course option, with the third course available if you wanted to add it on. If nothing on the set menu appealed, you could choose from the à la carte instead, which was great. Dinner was tasty and the girls who served us were absolutely spot on — really friendly and attentive. The only downside was the wait between courses, but given how busy it was, it’s understandable that things take a little longer. Breakfast, however, did feel a bit disorganised. Different items were in different places, and the hot food wasn’t replenished quickly enough. To be fair, we were down at peak time (around 9am), which probably didn’t help. Overall, we had a lovely stay and the upgrade, quiet rooms, and fantastic dinner service made it a memorable celebration. We’d happily return

   Love the bar and restaurant, the food is great value for money and beer prices are similar to my local, so all good there. My room seemed very dated, only a few small things. Mixture of different coloured sockets, but all of them without UBS points. Only one bedside cabinet for a big room. Bed was way too soft ( I know that’s my preference, so not a big concern) I will come again next year as it is handy for visiting a client, but let’s hope it’s not just the front of house area that’s very good.

   Pleasantly surprised with this place, although it looks as though it is bang in the middle of a housing scheme, actually, it is bang in the middle of a housing scheme. We stayed in a standard double room and it was clean and pretty much as you’d expect, however the other half compared it to a Premier Inn, make of that what you will. The only negatives I found were some stains in the bath and the squinty television only had 5 channels. Downstairs is where things improved, the restaurant was very nice indeed and the quality of the food was spot on, not too pricey either. We had a deal which included a bottle of wine in our room and a very nice bottle it was too.

   Never stayed at the hotel but have been in for food a few times and haven't been disappointed yet. Their coffee and cake offer is good if you want a quick bite, afternoon tea was lovely and their main menu offers a fair bit of choice. Service has always been good, haven't waited too long for food. We do enjoy the craft fayres although would be good to see a bit more variety/more food stalls.

   Great location. The food is good and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and can't do enough for you. The hotel is dog friendly and has an area set aside for your four legged friend to join you. Only negative is there is no lift to second floor.

   Lovely reception, bar and dining areas. Beautifully appointed. Staff very helpful. The over bath shower is not brilliant for getting into but apart from that the accomodation was spotlessly clean and comfortably warm. Easy access for disabled. Child and dog friendly.

   First time at the Riverside on Saturday for a wedding reception and back again on Sunday for an event. For the wedding, the room was decorated lovely, the staff were exceptional - such a good laugh and really got involved in the night. The buffet was nice hot and delicious! The only downside was the air con. The room was absolutely roasting, then the air con came on and we were really cold. For the event, it was a wee psychic night. It was actually the same room as the previous night but with a divider up. Room was nice and clean, couldn't even tell there had been a wedding the night before! Would 100% recommend for a function!

   Lovely hotel. Just back from overnight stay with hubby and friends. Food was excellent and staff very pleasant and helpful. Good deal and excellent choice on set menu. Room was adequate with plenty storage albeit perhaps a wee bit dated. Radiator didn't work but staff got us a heater and set it up. Would return and recommend for short break
