  • Historic Interior

Not so long ago, the Royal Hill was quaint, having a delightful unspoilt servery, snug and an old fashioned parlour. This has now changed in that, although the servery and snug remain, it has been extended into the adjoining outbuildings and an extension added. There's an increased emphasis on food and most of its six rooms are now used for dining. That said, it's still an attractive pub and has a faithful following of drinkers in addition to the many diners. Its location by the River Severn makes its popularity easy to understand. There are tables and chairs on the bank, but in recent times an attractive viewing hut has been added. It's possible therefore to take in the views of the river, the Breidden Hills and even Rodney's Pillar. And a poignant touch is the bench in the front of the pub which is in memory of Ruby, the landlady who used to reign supreme here. Camping is possible at the back of the pub's grounds and caravans are admitted also.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

 Two rare features can be found here - a tap room formed by two high-backed settles and a snug that includes a servery.

This pub, with its fine views, was built in 1777 according to its date-stone, though the brickwork suggests a 19th-century refronting. A passage from the front door leads to the two oldest rooms - a small tap room created by two high-backed settles with a gap between them on the passage side and the tiny rear servery with a Victorian counter. The lounge on the left and room on the right are post-war converts from private accommodation; the former has lost its 'front room' style with the introduction of modern furniture. Another change, in the bar, has seen a short passage created to access the right-hand room. Two further rooms to the left of the lounge were sculpted out of a former stables. Hatch service to two rooms.

General information about historic pub interiors

The Royal Hill Inn has two rare features – a snug formed by two high-backed settles and a tiny snug which includes the servery. Set on a quiet road beside the River Severn, this pub has fine views. It was built in 1777, has a 19th century brick re-fronting, and has been in the same family ownership for many years. There is a passage from the front door and the oldest rooms in use are the front right small tap room created by two high-backed settles originally with a gap between them on the passage side; and at the end of the passage on the right a tiny snug which includes the servery. Two former private rooms were brought into use in post-war times - the small front left lounge and the room to the right of the tap room. To access the latter a short passage was cut through the rear left of the inglenook fireplace. In recent years the rear settle has been moved forward slightly so both are joined together creating an impressive L-shaped one. This created a passage to access the added rooms on the right which has a hatch originally for service to the tap room. Originally the Victorian bar counter in the tiny snug was slightly smaller and there was a gap on the right-hand side and a flap. In recent times the gap has been removed by adding a close matching section of about a third so it runs all the way across the room and a new top added. The servery behind it has been expanded so no old bar back fittings remain. Red tiled floor in passage, tap room, snug and the room to the right of it. The impressive L-shaped settle, with much of it almost reaching the ceiling, is held in place by three iron stays. Large inglenook-style fireplace with a mantelshelf almost reaching the ceiling, a reclaimed brick interior and modern log burner. Lounge on the left has an interwar wood surround but has lost its original tiled interior. Some old dado panelling painted dark brown. Numerous rooms have been added since with minimal impact. Two other small rooms at the rear created out of the former stable building - one opens up to the games room at the far rear left. Recently a large extension on the far right includes a dining room.
