Great place & food but the bar prices would not be out of place at the Savoy in London. Also so little choice. When asked why they had no draught ales the excuse was that they did not have a cellar - what was that down the steps of the door to the left just before you enter the "bar"?... more

We have just returned from 2 nights at Riber Hall Hotel. The hotel is a fabulous 'olde worlde' place and the furniture is authentic to the hotel. It is a little bit like stepping back in time, which is great and adds to the ambience. The history of the hotel is really interesting and if you ask, Stuart 'knows his... more

Reading other reviews we were a bit nervous after booking our room, it was all unfounded. We arrived at a beautiful and ancient building with lots and lots of character. Our room, complete with four poster bed and large bathroom was filled with antiques (except for the flatscreen TV) and had a lovely view. The gardens are spectacular. Food was... more

Under new management but you feel like the manageress wishes she was somewhere else , The Hotel is in lovely buildings but they need updating . The food was nice but very overpriced and so were the drinks . more

Although we booked late on the Friday evening, we were given an option of the bridal suite for £125 per night, so after working really hard for nearly two years without a break I thought we'd splash out and booked for two nights. We entered the hall in the early evening and was greeted eventually by the chef/receptionist/bellboy/barman. He was... more

this is my second visit to the riber hotel, the first being earlier this year, i'd heard it had been taken over by new management and felt compelled to visit. it hasnt changed much apart from the more personal touch that is now received, the mangement are extremely welcoming, and always on hand for any queries, General Manager stuart who... more
