The Cottage Inn

About

The Cottage Inn, located on Bristol’s bustling harbourside at Baltic Wharf, is a historic pub that blends old‑world charm with contemporary warmth. Dating back to 1868, the building was once a timber warehouse for merchants in the docks and has since evolved into an inviting gathering place where locals and visitors alike enjoy a full menu of pub classics accented with seasonal ingredients, fresh fish and seafood, and a wide selection of award‑winning Butcombe beers, local ciders, and curated wine and cocktail lists. Inside, the décor features original timber flooring, cosy wooden furnishings, and plenty of natural light that frames the panoramic views of the harbour and Clifton. The pub’s outdoor waterside garden remains largely untouched from the mid‑nineteenth century, offering a dog‑friendly, tranquil spot for al fresco dining. The Cottage Inn prides itself on exceptional service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a relaxed, family‑friendly vibe that caters to all ages, while also providing a great stop for tourists heading to Bristol’s iconic attractions such as the SS Great Britain and the Miniature Railway. Whether you’re enjoying a casual brunch, a hearty dinner, or a festive celebration, The Cottage Inn delivers a memorable experience that honours its heritage while embracing modern hospitality.
