The Feathers Hotel
Rare bird
Right by Blenheim
A nattily dressed country nest, the Feathers Hotel is an all-welcome abode in the picturesque Oxfordshire town of Woodstock. Inside, a boutique clutch of rooms impresses with calming interiors and offbeat original features (some with wonky corridors, others with snug, loveseat-lined nooks). But it’s the fare that really rules this roost: chefs source seasonal Cotswolds’ crops for artfully elevated English dishes, and a locally curated bar is only steps away. Pluming lovely.

Our Favourite Rooms
Wherever you decide to sleep, there’ll be quirky secret corridors, sun-streaming sash windows and snug nooks. But if you’re looking to elevate your all-English stay, snag one of the Suites for their freestanding soaking tubs and snuggle-ready loveseats. One of the Feature Suites also has the only remaining original wardrobe, that was lovingly conserved during renovations.
Packing Tips
Bring your wellies and wax jackets to roam Woodstock’s regal spots in style.
Also
Look out for the statue of Virgin Mary that sits outside the hotel’s restaurant — it’s rumoured to have been hidden in one of the building’s exterior walls during the Civil War.
子供
Little Smiths are welcome, although there aren’t any special facilities to keep them entertained.

Food & Drink
Top Table
At the first sight of sun, secure a table in the light-welcoming courtyard; and when winter rolls in, wood-burning fireplaces keep indoor seats snug.
ドレスコード
When you’re mere minutes from Blenheim Palace it’s only right you bring out your finest threads.
Hotel Restaurant
Rich mahogany panelling sets a cosy, brasserie-like tone at the Nest — the hotel’s locally loved restaurant, helmed by head chef Luke Rawicki. Every ingredient that goes into the soul-warming comfort food here has been sourced from Cotswolds farmers. Start with the flat bread-paired roasted aubergine dip before moving on to Luke’s storied, melt-in-the-mouth leg of South West lamb, dished with a minty salsa verde and butter-dosed potatoes.
Hotel Bar
The only tough calls to be made at the Aviary Bar is picking which cocktails tickle your tipple-craving fancy most. Stick to local staples and have resident barkeepers stir your tonic with a Cotswold Gin, or take a Dorset-sourced Black Cow Vodka Martini shaken, not stirred. The 100-bottle wine list is a page turner, too.
Last Orders
Breakfast is served 7.30am to 10.30am daily. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but otherwise is open for lunch between noon and 2.30pm (3pm on Sundays), and dinner from 6pm till 9.30pm. The bar pours seven days a week.
Room Service
A limited menu is available during the restaurant’s opening hours.
Planes
Most international flights will touch down in London Heathrow, which is just over an hour’s drive from the hotel. London Luton and Birmingham International are each 90 minutes away by road, and if you’re arriving into Gatwick or Stansted, it’s a slightly further two hours. Private transfers can be arranged from all airports for an additional charge.
Trains
Oxford Parkway is a 15-minute drive away (staff can organise private transfers) and has direct trains to London Marylebone, Banbury, Leamington Spa, High Wycombe and Aylesbury. You can also catch a 25-minute train straight to Bicester Village.
Automobiles
Public transport is reliable around Oxfordshire, but if you do bring your car, the hotel has a private car park on Hensington Road, a five-minute walk away, that you’re welcome to use for £10 a day.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
Acquaint yourself with the hotel’s all-English co-ords with a trip around Blenheim Palace. The Baroque-style estate still belongs to the Duke of Marlborough, but you’re welcome to tour its interiors and spend the day exploring its acres of gardens (home to a butterfly house and hedge maze), rivers and meadows. During the summer, live concerts and events take up the social calendar, and come Christmas, light shows draw bundled-up crowds. Shoppers can beeline for designer-outlet Bicester Village, a 25-minute train ride away, or stick to your local surroundings and roam Woodstock’s trad tea rooms, morning markets and artisan boutiques.
Oxford is less than half an hour away, and has enough to keep you entertained for days: mooch down the High Street, marvel at the grandeur of University architecture, or ditch the formality for a pint or two at one of Holywell Street’s storied pubs. Warm weather may be a gamble around here, but if you find yourself a slither of sun, taking a punt along the river is the true way to see this city.
