The Feathers Hotel in Woodstock OX20 1SX, open May–August.
Guests arrive at this 17th-century coaching inn on Woodstock's high street to discover honey-colored stone walls, period fireplaces, and a working bar where pre-dinner drinks flow naturally.
The Feathers Hotel transforms its interconnected rooms and gardens into an intimate setting where 40 to 150 guests experience both formal dining and genuine hospitality.
Historic character meets modern service—think exposed beams overhead and seasonal menus that anchor celebrations in the Cotswolds.
My wife and I went with a group of 24 for a visit to Woodstock and Blenheim. This was a splendid venue. (The only thing which affected the scoring was that visitors do need to be aware that the Hotel's excellent car park is a good little walk - especially during the recent heatwave!) Proximity to the centre and to both entrances to Blenheim is a reral bonuses. Our group had a dinner in The Nest - opened on a Wednesday specifically for us. This was an excellent occasion and we were served very well, with good food at a reasonable price. Our room was quite splendid, and we had a lovely Reception in the Study, again resreved exclusively for us. The arrangements in advance and while we were there went very smoothly, thanks to helpful and efficient staff. Members of the group were exceptionally complimentary about the visit.
