Stand-out amazing food. What a great addition to the Woodstock restaurant scene - pitched at just the right level and filling a gap in the market. Thanks for a great lunch.

The hotel was recently refurbished to a very high standard. We had a pre lunch drink in the bar/lounge where the staff were very attentive and friendly. Although it was the Sunday lunch menu, we opted for crab risotto and halibut mains. The only downside, due to the soft opening, was a lack of atmosphere but the food was excellent and we were looked after by Sophia. Fully recommend and we will be back.

A quiet and pleasant ambience for a reunion with an old friend. The service was first class. We had the trout salad and a cheese burger. The salad was fresh and ample, the trout was in short supply; the burger standard. We followed with ice cream - a well-presented but small helping. My glass of Italian wine was poor and following cappuccino lukewarm. We enjoyed the ambience for our reunion, but the food was expensive and unremarkable.

Everything from the food, service, ambience and new decor made for a delightful lunch. The staff were very friendly and welcoming whilst also attentive but not intrusive. The Food and Beverage Manager, Andy, was great. The food was simply delicious. The decor has changed dramatically. No more ‘70s carpet with bold swirls. The new colours are calming hues of browns and creams. Gone are the white table clothes and tower of tea cups that adorned the front window for so long. The outside spaces, front and back,have also had a huge facelift. The Robert Welch cutlery and individually picked plates and bowls set off the food beautifully. The extensive wine list also complimented the menu and was reasonably priced to be fair, with a selection of wines by the glass should you not want a full bottle. There was nothing not to like. Treat yourself and go and pay the Feathers a visit. The restaurant will now be known as The Nest, I believe.

Nice location and proper china/rose/fabric napkins, but let down by performance: asked us if special event (yes, birthday), and were given full menu when really we had booked us in for cream teas, giving us the impression we could choose freely from wider afternoon tea options - embarrassing, as we were a little more peckish than expected. Place was quiet, so we're a little underwhelmed. No mention of special occasion, so not sure of the effectiveness of the marketing team.

We had an excellent dinner in the Churchill room with locally sourced food innovatively presented and with pleasant service. Especially noteworthy were the varied amuse bouche, the hare starter and the asparagus with coddled duck egg. The mains of lamb and duck and the desserts were equally good and, while the portion sizes were not large, they were very well balanced and satisfying. An excellent, if a tad expensive, Godello wine and a couple of glasses of a good rioja completed an excellent evening in pleasant surroundings. Very good value on the D, B & B break.

We booked here on a Sunday evening -- Mother's day. Every place in town was full earlier in the day, and we were happy to find an evening booking. The place was empty when we arrived. The waiters were very nice, but ages of time would pass without us seeing them. We wouldn't see anyone at all, so couldn't even flag someone down. The child's menu listed a cheeseburger and fries. She got a burger with no cheese or anything but a meat patty and we had to wait another 10 minutes or so for her fries. This was after waiting quite a while for the adult meals as well. The canapes and bread were very good, but the egg in the cheddar custard was very under done. The sirloin was in four slices, one of which was entirely gristle. Took ages to get the bill when we finally decided to leave. Strangest of all was that there were only three tables in the restaurant that we could see, so we couldn't figure out why no one was ever around.

We were looking to find a good value hotel on the edge of the Cotswolds. Woodstock is ideal for visiting Blenheim Palace and Oxford in close to all other Citswolds highlights. The Feathers is brilliantly situated in the Centre of Woostock and excellent for both. You can walk to the Palace. As for the hotel itself. All members of staff were extremely friendly and helpful and always on hand to assist with any requirement we had. Always with with a smile and enthusiasm. The food on offer was excellent and the bar full (especially if you have a penchant for Gin). Could not fault the Feathers and look forward to returning very soon. 10 out of 10

We went inside. Service was the best and time in between courses was great. We had a starter, main and desert. I had two gin tonics, the lady had two glasses of wine and we had a bottle of sparkling water. We paid £100 for all of this. Value for money according to me. Staff was the friendliest and all wearing mouthmasks. Covid safety measures were great. Can highly recommend this place.

We came here on my partner’s special birthday as we were in Woodstock for a long weekend, and we had a good meal here many years ago so were looking forward to the evening.I had pre-booked a table for 2 at 7.30 but when I arrived on time was told I had booked for 8 and would I like to wait with a drink, but as we had just had a pre-meal drink in the pub next door I firmly declined and was grudgingly found an empty table.For a starter off the nibbles section we ordered olives and crispy pork, but were presented with the olives and a plate of crisps! When the pork did finally arrive it was very tasty.When we ordered main courses (I had blade of beef and my partner halibut) we were told there were no side vegetables served with main courses, so we ordered extra greens and some chips. When the blade of beef arrived it was served with mash potato so the chips were not needed and largely wasted.A very young bottle of Rioja at £26 was overpriced, and we felt a 10% service charge was adding insult to injury as the service was generally pretty poor.All in all this was not a good experience, and we felt they are living off a past reputation so hope ours was not a common experience.

Friendly staff, nice room and a very large comfortable bed. Breakfast was very good with a large choice. Evening meal for us was a bit mixed with my meal having to be sent back owing to the fact the cod I ordered turned out to be the tail end that you probably would have given to your cat. That said the second serving resulted in three pieces of fish each twice the size of the original tail end, and superbly cooked. Just a shame that my wife had to eat her meal alone, and then I had to do the same.

Most other places were either closed, or full-up with waiting lists. We wandered into the Feathers and explained that we just wanted a cup of tea. They happily seated us in a quiet lounge, brought tea and biscuits, and didn't hurry us out. The tea was very reasonably priced.Their hospitality was outstanding. We would certainly return sometime for a meal.

If you want a lift to upper floors and air conditioning this hotel is not for you. However if you want character this will fulfil the brief. Spent one night here having spent the day at Blenheim Palace. It took less than 10 minutes to get there from Blenheim. There is free parking on the street which is useful as they don’t have a dedicated car park. We had a free gin and tonic and two course meal included in our package. The choice of gin could have caused a meltdown as there were well over 100 to choose from however we only qualified for Cotswold Gin which was alright. You could always go through their stock at your own cost! The beer battered fish and chips and braised beef that we choose for our main course was very good and the apple and pear trifle with cinnamon custard was beautiful. The only down side was our bedroom and more especially the bed which we found really uncomfortable - there seemed to be a dip in the middle and the mattress was definitely lumpy. We also found it quite dark - there were two (possibly three) downlights with two bedside lamps and a lamp on the desk - none of which illuminated the room very much. That was the only drawback - the staff were friendly and the food was lovely. Afterthought - they need to change the music playing during the evening meal - it was still Christmas songs!

I was recently invited to a business lunch at The Feathers, a restaurant I'd previously never been to. Upon announcing our arrival, we were met at reception by the Head Chef. He welcomed us and suggested we sit by the bar. The fire had just been lit which proved to be a warm welcome and contrasted the chilly day outside. We both chose the Crispy Windsor Pork Belly, which was a perfect choice! When the food arrived, the presentation was second to none. The pork fell apart on the fork, the crackling was exactly the right blend of size, depth and crunch, the black pudding sausage roll was perfect and the accompanying jus brought the whole meal to life. My compliments to the Head Chef and his team, and I will be back to The Feathers very soon!

I am coeliac,my husband isn't but we both decided on gluten free so that we could share everything. We weren't disappointed. Both agreed it was a lovely selection (so often not the case with gluten free). We had 2 pots of tea and couldn't eat everything so our waiter packed us a bag to take away. Lovely experience.

We began our meal with baked cheese with delicious chunky bread, then what is probably the most delicious cauliflower soup we had ever tasted.

I booked the Afternoon Tea with Gin & Tonic though the Groupon offer for my wife’s birthday. It was 30% cheaper than booking direct with the hotel. We went along and introduced ourselves to reception. The manager accompanied us through to our table and introduced us to the gentleman who would be serving us, he in turn showed us to our table. The ambiance was loverly and we were sat by the window to the rear garden, Everything was perfect, however I was surprised that the actual tea was fairly scant. We had three small finger sandwiches each, one smoked salmon, one egg and one ham. The scones were delicious although Fairly small, one plain and one fruit each. The pot of cream only just covered the needs and the jam was much larger. We had three small home made cakes each. The Gin and tonic was of high quality and exceptional. In all the experience was very good, however if I had paid full price then I would say it was expensive and not value. The normal cost would have been around £45 and I paid £30. It was a pleasant afternoon tea.

We had Afternoon Tea at The Feathers yesterday. I had contacted them to say my Husband had just been diagnosed with Diabetes and would it be possible for him to have a bit of fruit instead of the cakes to which they said it would be fine and it certainly was ! We expected a few strawberries or something but he was given a plate of fruit which included strawberries, raspberries, melon, grapes and pineapple which was well presented. My Husband was extremely pleased with it and to top it all the afternoon tea was delicious and the staff were all lovely too.

We only stopped in to try their Guinness record breaking gin selection. They had the gin, but the staff didn't really have the knowledge. Our of the 400 there were only two Old Toms and not a single bottle of the recent world gin winner Dingle. And a woeful selection of tonics.

They make extremely good gin tonics here - you must give it a try. The garden terrace is delightful and we had a super time sitting outside until late into the evening. Friendly staff and extremely accommodating. Relaxed and comfortable.

We spent a night here with friends and were not disappointed. The hotel is dog friendly and the room we had was spacious so no tripping over the dog or his bed! It is very centrally placed for visiting Blenheim Palace and there are plenty of other pubs and eateries in walking distance. We had dinner in the restaurant and they cater for a gluten-free diet. Our only complaint was with the lack of green spaces in Woodstock to let the dog do what a dog needs to do!! Would certainly stay here again.

Asked for a gin menu to be advised that I would have to look online. While looking at selection of gins barman/manager said in curt tone “not behind the bar please”. There was then a misunderstanding when we thought the barman/manager offered us to pour our gin, when we realised our mistake and apologies he was rude and gave us lecture. Total lack of hospitality on his part and a disappointing start to our stay.

We went here for small wedding reception. The food was really very good. I would recommend the steak which was up there as one of the best I have ever had which is praise indeed. Puddings weren't bad either, Service was discreet,

A lovely town, but I am afraid that The Feathers is not the hotel that we remembered. A lack of attention to detail and the restaurant is just not up to muster. The front of house staff were excellent, but the corridors to the room were shabby and the hotel lacked a sense of leadership.

Good location, nice staff throughout however the room was dark with only a fire exit for light. No window in the bathroom. The room was very hot overnight, a noisy air conditioning unit was installed in the room. This wasn’t that efficient and didn’t help.

My wife and I had a sandwich in the bar last week. The service was very slow taking twenty minutes before the bar man took our order as he was running drinks into the restaurant all the time.we both ordered the steak sandwich costing 10 pounds each. When it arrived the steak in the sandwich was tasty but not much of it. When we paid we were very surprised to see that they changed a service charge of 10 percent. I did not notice it on the menu that they charged this. I my self would rather give my own tip when appropriate not be charged when the service wasn't that great.

My husband and I had lunch at the feathers yesterday, bank Holiday Monday and I was so disappointed. It was very underwhelming, the service was not good made to feel that we were not welcome, food was disappointing and mine tasted like it was a "Greggs" special, it was also hugely overpriced for what we had, would not recommend or go back

The afternoon tea experience was extremely disappointing, I took my friend as a ‘special birthday’ treat ( I explained this on my booking, hoping for maybe a candle in a cake or something similar, nothing happened )

We had a delicious meal at the feathers. I had the lamb which was perfectly cooked and came with a delicious croquette. What is more, the service was impeccable and very friendly.

Took the afternoon tea as a special treat. Service was fine to start with but we were the completely ignored thereafter even though only one other table was occupied. Food wise wasn’t impressed by the sandwiches which tasted a bit damp as if previously chilled. Cakes were tiny and of rather heavy texture. Tea for one comes in a tiny pot. <br />Pleasant room helpful receptionist.

The Feathers is in a small and pretty old English country town and is itself quite old with a lot of history, which is one of the reasons we chose it. All the staff, from Mandy the receptionist who greeted us, and everyone else who served us either at the bar or in the restaurant were really pleasant and keen to make sure that we had a pleasant stay. It was a lovely weekend, apart from the weather that is, but we didn't that spoil what was otherwise a memorable weekend break.

We stayed at The Feathers for one night. I have to say that’s it’s one of the most lovely hotels we’ve ever stayed in. The hotel itself was so quaint but very well appointed and centrally located. Our room on the top floor was sumptuous and very comfortable. The gin bar was great and the bar staff were friendly and incredibly knowledgable. We ate in the bar area but this was perfect and cosy and the food was to die for. I eat out a lot and the food was comparable to Michelin star I would say. Our stay was made extra special by the wonderful front of house Mandy. She was so knowledgeable , helpful and friendly and she made our stay outstanding. Mandy was definitely a great ambassador for the hotel. I wish I could stay at The Feathers every month

My parents treated us to a stay and dinner as a Christmas present. We shopped in Oxford for the day and then had a little browse around beautiful quaint woodstock. At the hotel the room was lovely really nicely finished. The food though was just amazing! Best steak I ever had. Staff were really lovely fantastic gin bar hosted by Damiano who really new his stuff and Dominique the manager was brilliant. We would go back for sure.

Family get together as it’s half way between where we live. The food was poor. The starter of bread and olives was interesting… the bread was soft but dipping pot was pure olive oil which was disgusting… if it had been served with butter and /or balsamic would of been more palatable. The haddock and chips arrived with cold mushy peas an awful tasting curry sauce. The burger was dry and lacking flavour, a fast food restaurant would be a better option. The service was so slow that after we finished (and waited 20 minutes) we jokingly signalled the CCTV to clear the table. We also waited 15 minutes for drinks… it wasn’t busy. The desert menu was disappointing, a table of 6 with different tastes could not find a desert that they liked. I have been here before (on a Sunday) my advice would be give it a miss! Slow service, bad food and totally over priced!

Myself, husband and small dog went for lunch and had the warmest welcome from both the staff and the roaring log fire. We had the burger and ham and mustard sandwich, both of which were delicious and the staff carefully checked for allergies. Our dog was also looked after with a bowl of fresh water and plenty of free treats!! Gabby behind the bar was so lovely and welcoming and made us so comfortable that we may have stayed longer than we intended!! Would thoroughly recommend for food and ambience
