4-star historic coastal hotel with stunning Severn estuary views - The Royal Inn By Chef & Brewer Collection in Portishead
Amenities
The Royal Inn offers free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station for guests arriving by car. The hotel has an on-site gourmet restaurant and a bar, as well as free WiFi throughout the property. Pet-friendly accommodation is available, along with family rooms and a well-kept garden terrace overlooking the estuary.
Rooms
Guest rooms include sea-view options with spacious layouts and bathrooms featuring twin wash basins, a separate walk-in shower, and a free-standing bath. Each room is equipped with USB-C ports, a flat-screen TV, and a kettle; some rooms also include Green & Black's chocolate on the duvet. The hotel was fully restored in 2024, with decor that blends historic charm with contemporary comforts.

The on-site restaurant serves a menu of cooked-to-order dishes, including a popular Sunday roast and a gluten-free mixed grill option. Breakfast is offered as a buffet, à la carte, or continental selection, with individually cooked items available from the pub menu. The bar provides a selection of high-quality coffee and tea, as well as a choice of spirits and wines.
Location and Activities
The hotel sits at the end of a quiet road overlooking the Severn estuary, with direct access to coastal walking paths and the marina. Within a short walk, guests reach Sugar Loaf Beach, Portishead Lake Grounds, and the harbour bars and restaurants. Nearby attractions include the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Ashton Court, both about 14 km away.
Family and Pet-Friendly
The hotel provides family rooms large enough for four adults and a toddler, and staff have accommodated special dietary needs such as PKU requirements. Pets are welcome in designated dining areas, with water bowls provided. Children's meals are available at a lower price, and the garden terrace offers space for outdoor play.
