About The Riverside inn
The Shallows runs along the water's edge in Saltford, and it's here that The Riverside Inn makes its home, with the Somerset countryside spreading out beyond the town and Bath and Bristol both within easy reach. It's a spot that suits people who want a quiet base with a river view but don't want to be cut off from city days out.
The inn has seven rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children. There's a restaurant and bar on site, breakfast is served, kids' meals are catered for, and drinks can be brought to your room. Free WiFi runs throughout, and reception is staffed around the clock. Outside, there's a garden with outdoor seating, a games room for quieter evenings, and free on-site parking.
Fishing and a golf course are both nearby, along with further pubs, bars and restaurants, and there's plenty of scope for walking directly from the door. Between the riverside setting and the reach into Bath and Bristol, it works well as a base for exploring rather than staying put.

People say this pub offers delicious wood-fired pizzas with generous toppings, and a very good Sunday carvery with a wide variety of vegetables. They also highlight the friendly staff, great service, and the lovely riverside location with a children's play area.
Some reviews mention the service can be unprofessional.
