The Venue

The Feathers

The Feathers Hotel, a member of Pride of Britain, is an inviting country retreat that combines historic charm with a fun personality. Located in the old market town of Woodstock, which played a pivotal role in rock music and was the birthplace of Winston Churchill, the hotel is surrounded by cultural attractions. Just a two minute stroll through the beautiful village shops and guests will arrive at the magnificent Blenheim Palace.

There are 16 bedrooms and five suites available at The Feathers, which have just undergone a major refurbishment. Each room has been given its own unique style by specialist interior designers, Trevillion, who have added boutique twists such as luxurious fabrics, ornate lighting, freestanding stone basins and even a decanter full of jellybeans!

The quirky bedrooms perfectly match the rest of the hotel, with its higgledy-piggledy hallways and five different staircases that add a delightfully whimsical feel. Contemporary wallpapers adorn the walls, alongside tastefully chosen art works, such as an eye-catching dressmaker mannequin. The bespoke carpet in the dining room bearing a feather motif is also testament to the hotel's cool outlook.

Eating and drinking is at the heart of The Feathers experience. The hotel introduced the first dedicated Gin Bar in the UK and has the largest collection of gins in the world. It currently has 130 types of gin from around the world, with plans to increase this to 150. Guests can enjoy a classic martini while connoisseurs can attend the “Gin Club” on the last Friday of every month.

The Feathers is the perfect location for events. The hotel can be exclusively hired for wedding receptions for £4,000 during the week or £7,000 at the weekend. he ceremony can take place in the nearby church, which is a couple of minutes walk from the hotel.
