The Riverside way

A smarter place to stay in Cirencester

Riverside Hotel sits at the entrance to Watermoor Point, which makes it the easiest answer to a question our members ask all the time: where do we put up visiting clients, project teams and new starters? Steps from the offices, warehouse and meeting rooms, with the on-site cafe for breakfast on weekdays.

The whole hotel runs contactless. Your access code arrives before you do, so check-in works at any hour, even when meetings overrun or plans change. No front desk, no queue, and honest prices because the overheads stay low. It is just as good for a weekend exploring the Cotswolds as it is for a working week.
