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 decided to go to the feathers at last minute and although we turned up at 2.05 we were made very welcome. The tables were nicely laid with white clothes and a lovely yellow rose. The service was excellent and the food was also very good. Thank you very much to all.

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.

Stopped by for drinks and an impromptu light dinner; we ate in the courtyard at the back. Service was excellent: staff were friendly, well informed and helpful. The food was very tasty, offering a good choice of both dishes and portion size. Limited number of tap beers but overall a good selection with bottled and nice wines. Very nice evening out.

We were treated to a cream tea with a gin and tonic followed by a selection of sandwiches, scones and clotted cream with homemade strawberry jam as well as beautifully made pastries. All of it hand made on the premises. Without doubt the finest value in Oxfordshire. Strongly recommended by my wife and I, who were treated by our eldest daughter, as it is our 43rd wedding anniversary tomorrow! 👍

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 had a large, very clean room with a really comfortable bed. Both meals were most enjoyable and we left totally satisfied.

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.

We (party of 5) arrived in Woodstock on Boxing Day, at an awkward time, with a few hours to kill before our booked timeslot for Blenheim's Light Trail. 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.

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.

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”.

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.

The service and food were amazing. The staff were very polite and attentive. The bar man definitely knew the inside and out of the full gin selection.

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.

Good service and lovely ambiance. Nice cakes. Very poor vegetarian choice of afternoon tea sandwiches - just 2 filling. When I explained that I needed vegetarian sandwiches- which I had forewarned the hotel about - the waiter listed the meat fillings available and then asked if they were any good! Then went on to offer fish. Training is required.

We enjoyed the meal a lot and the service was excellent. <br />The food was of a high standard though a little mean on the starter where I was only presented with 2 scallops for about £9!

We have visited The Feathers on numerous occasions and it just improves each time. The welcoming open fire in reception as you arrive and the warm welcome always given by Mihaela makes us feel valued. Nothing is too much trouble for Mihaela and her reception staff. Saying that nothing is too much trouble for any of the wonderful staff. We love passing the time of day with the two members from Sardinia. The restaurant manager and his recommendation on wines which never fails to please. (You must all try the red wine from Sardinia.) The waitress at breakfast and even the happy hellos from the cleaners. Added to this the wonderful food, what more could one want? We would recommend the Carpaccio, it is always my treat. We will be back in a few weeks and cannot wait!

Having first being ignored and the then summarily dismissed from The Crown in Woodstock (there are ways to tell customers you are fully booked and this was not one of them) we went to The Feathers. We had been under the impression that it was expensive and a bit 'stuffy' . How wrong we had been. We went into The Courtyard Bar - lovely seating area, double sided wood burner. Chose from the bar menu - available on Sunday. Very good value.

Lovely Afternoon Tea, more than we could eat. The relaxed and cozy setting is great for a lazy afternoon catching up with friends. We had fantastic service from the staff, Dahiano and Antonio.

Beautiful hotel, we stayed in suite 4, had dining area, lounge, toilet, bedroom and bathroom. Old but contemporary, very nicely decorated. Quiet and warm. Very huge and comfortable bed. Having had to cancel a couple of times before Mihaela was extremely helpful and managed to get us booked in with no trouble. We went to the Gin bar which was great, over 400 gins to choose from. Lots of help from Antonio and Damiano who suggested gins and accompanying tonics. We then went to the restaurant, had starters and mains but not enough room for pudding. Superb waiting staff and food. Breakfast in the morning was one of the best we have had, again with excellent service. Can not recommend this place enough.

We visited on a Travelzoo “room, dinner and breakfast” deal. The food was excellent, and the service outstanding. The ambience of the Feathers is cosy and atmospheric. Excellent value, even if it was full price!
