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.
What do you think makes a stay at The Riverside Inn unique?
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 the rooms, bar and restaurant.
Rest assured that the 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.
