General Comments

My family and I have stayed at the Riverside Lodge twice and have never had a bad experience.
Barry and Gill worked very hard to make our stays (in February 2005 and again in November 2005) enjoyable. I gather they took over the B & B after it had been rather neglected by the previous owners and have worked hard to re-establish their reputation.
This they have succeeded. We found them to be very friendly - even at the end of a long season - and went out of their way to point out and advise on areas of interest.
There was a wide selection for breakfast, and as I am a vegetarian, Gill went out of her way to accomodate my diet, buying in vegetarian options and going so far as to cook them seperately.
The view from the breakfast room is to die for, and very distracting! Even though we stayed in the breakfast room far longer after breakfast, enjoying the many birds in the garden and the lambs in the field across the river, this was no problem for Barry and Gill and they joined us bird-watching on one occasion, recommending Gigrins Farm for the Red Kite feeding station. Hardly unfriendly in our view!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stays and have no hesitation in recommending Riverside Lodge to anyone visiting the Elan Valley.
