We have stayed with Chris and Mariea on many occaisions and at all times of the year. The welcome we receive is always warm and friendly, it is just like a home from home.

Stayed here for two nights (Thurs/Fri) in the double room and we could not fault our visit. Mariea & Chris very friendly and knowledgable about the lakes. Riversdale was impeccably clean and quiet and the bed very comfortable (good shower too!). Car parking and Chris allowed us secure storage for our bikes. Excellent breakfasts and we opted for dinner on... more

This is our second stay at Riversdale and once again it was fabulous. The hosts Mariea & Chris are very helpful and friendly, the rooms our great with everthing you need and more.

This was our second visit to Riversdale, introducing some very good friends to this jewel in the Lakes. Again we would recommend it from every aspect, extremely well appointed with every comfort, our hosts friendly and very helpful, excellent food, all of which contributed to a most enjoyable and relaxing stay. I have no doubt we shall be returning again.... more

Excellent, comfortable B&B - Chris & Mariea are friendly and helpful. Our room (Room 2) was light and airey with views of the hills. Breakfast was ample - I can recommend the scrambled egg and smoked salmon. The location is great for walking - from a walk round the lake or up and over Helvellyn - it is a beautiful... more
