The Feathers Hotel

Bathroom grubby, staff in restaurant and bar excellent, at reception less so. Food average and over priced.

Clean and lovely. Hotel is a historic charm. Do not expect corporate hotel, this is VERY old but delightful. There is no sound proofing, no even floors etc. If you are dull and complain about minor traffic noise etc, do not even bother staying here. This is a place for people who love history and appreciate the engineering of yesteryear. Staff were helpful.

Really nice hotel staff were friendly . Got in the car park ok as it in the week . Everything is walking distance . We didn’t have breakfast but I walked past and it did look good . Room was clean hairdryer Iron iron board in the room . Tea coffee in room Shower was great didn’t have shampoo conditioner and shower gel just had hair and body wash all in one which I didn’t care anyway I would definitely stay again .

Parking is a bit of a squeeze but we did get a space although there is ample, easier parking at the library close by. We didn’t stay for breakfast so cannot comment on that. Initial receptionist (Easter Sunday) was okay but the receptionist on Easter Monday was friendly, informative and quite lovely which Sunday reception could maybe take a leaf from. Room was so airy, quiet and big so it was a shame to not have twin beds for our teens (who are big) and had to share a small sofa bed, in comparison mine and my husband’s bed was comfortable and big, very nice but felt a bit guilty. Luckily there was a little window area so my youngest son took over that area, pulling the net curtain to while my older son sat on the bed. Hotel exterior is so stunning and location is absolutely fabulous. I will return.

We arrived by bus and were able to leave our case with Reception until the booking in time. The people we dealt with were very quick to deal with our requests, such as exchanging the sparkling water in the room for still water, and replenishing the fridge on the second day.
