Riverside Inn, Shrewsbury
Set in the charming Shropshire village of Cound, the Riverside Inn, Shrewsbury, is a stunning Grade II listed hotel with history, modern rooms and idyllic views out over the River Severn.
A postcard-perfect riverside hotel and country pub
The Riverside Inn was originally built in 1861 as a train station along the now closed Severn Valley Railway line. It might serve a very different purpose today, but the hotel more than retains its original 19th century charm, from its stunning exterior to the period features throughout our rooms, bar and restaurant.
Rest assured that our six bedrooms are far from old fashioned. Each room is named after a popular nearby walking route and has been decorated with fabulous décor and to high standards. Inside every room you’ll find a large and comfy bed that’s perfect for a great night’s sleep as well as a bright and airy en-suite bathroom.
Explore Shropshire and make the most of your stay
Our rural riverbank setting provides a great opportunity for exploring local walking paths and the surrounding countryside. The hotel is an ideal location for trips into the medieval town of Shrewsbury, with charming shops and cafés on offer. Great local sites and attractions include Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery, the Quarry Park, and Market Hall Shrewsbury.
With excellent transport links throughout the rest of Shropshire and the region, day trips to the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or to nearby Birmingham and Wales and simple.
Eat and drink in picturesque surroundings
After a full day exploring the best of Shrewsbury, there’s nothing better than some time spent in our traditional inn pub and restaurant. You can enjoy freshly prepared meals throughout the day, whether you fancy a pub classic or a seasonal special. And there are plenty of cask ales, premium lagers and fine wines available from the bar.
You also have the option of eating and drinking in our attractive bar and restaurant or stepping outside into the expansive gardens and riverside terrace where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the River Severn and the rolling countryside.
Make the most of your stay
There’s so much to see and do all year round near the Riverside Inn, whether you’re looking for some fresh air in the countryside or to explore the medieval town of Shrewsbury for some sightseeing.
Almost surrounded by the River Severn, the medieval town of Shrewsbury is just a short drive away with its imposing red sandstone castle (now a regimental museum), boasting Tudor architecture, beautiful parks like the spectacular 29-acre parkland on the riverside – the Quarry, and fascinating museums and historic sites such as the prison and the Music and Art Gallery. If you’re looking to delve more into history, why not travel a little further down the River, towards Talford, where you’ll find some more historic landmarks reflecting the local industrial revolution heritage such as the Iron Bridge and Tollhouse and the Ironbridge Gorge Museum.
We’re also surrounded by the beautiful Shropshire hills, so if you’re looking to venture into the great outdoors for some country walks during your stay, you’ll have plenty of trails to choose from!
Please note that we do not have a lift at our hotel and stairs are needed to access all hotel rooms.

How to make the most of your hotel stay
Some say a hotel is 'just for sleeping'. Well if that's the case, we say that makes it one of the most important parts of any getaway. Because the difference between a restful slumber and a bad night can make a world of difference to your stay, whether you're travelling for business or pleasure.
Treat it like your own space
Living out of a suitcase always feels chaotic, especially when you spend your time tripping over the thing. Even if it's just for a night, unpack your things and store them away in the spacious wardrobes, ready for you to relax.
Explore the local attractions
You might have a full schedule planned, but taking time to explore on foot often leads to the discovery of some truly hidden gems, be it a historic landmark, local hotspot, or quiet patch to take a pause.
Ask for recommendations
The internet can be an amazing resource for recommendations, but you can't beat living like a local. Our staff are passionate not only about the hotel, but also the area that surrounds it, so if you're looking for something specific, lean on us for some firm favourites.
Make time to savour the flavour
Meals are so often rushed in our everyday lives. Quick breakfasts before we race out the door, hurried lunches eaten at our desks or speedy dinners on the sofa. So when we're lucky enough to escape for a rural retreat, try and enjoy a pause with your plate. Take a moment to enjoy every bite or toast to the company you're sharing it with.
Don't be afraid to lean on our staff
Our friendly team of staff are here to help, so never hesitate to reach out with a question or concern. We strive to make your stay as stress-free as possible, so whatever the issue, let us get it resolved.

Unique hotels with a rich past
Our diverse collection of hotels includes historic inns dating back centuries. These pubs may have been first built with another purpose, such as a country house, coaching inn or even a train station, but they've been restored to offer comfortable stays infused with the charm of Chef & Brewer. While the amenities may be modern, you can still spot glimpses of their rich past with antique interiors and original features.
Leafy locations close to city hotspots

Be it a car ride or a train journey, some of our leafiest spots are less than an hour from a major city. You can explore the sights and delights before escaping back to the calm and quiet.

At our Chef & Brewer pubs with accommodation, our pub restaurant menus guarantee delicious dining throughout the day.
