The Feathers Hotel

.

Great for the centre of Ludlow and for the Food Festival which we attended. An amazing building on the outside. Not sure where the £2.5m on the refurb went. Stayed in the Deluxe Twin Room with Balcony. Not sure what the Deluxe referred to. Reasonably spacious but nothing out of the ordinary. Several old cobwebs behind the voile and one hanging down from the ceiling just outside the bathroom. Dust on the bathroom door architrave. Just generally tired looking. The staff were always smiling and polite which was great when it was mostly chaotic on Saturday evening between 6 and 8pm. Basically they weren't prepared for the number of people. Those staying overnight, those from the food festival plus locals enjoying the Saturday afternoon 'funk it up' gig. The poor staff didn't know what they should be doing and who to serve. Then the bar was out of stock because of the funk it up. And no I wouldn't recommend it or return. Management - get a grip.

Beautiful old building in good condition and decoration. Found being charged £7.50 a day excessive. The dinner we had were well cooked but the pieces of steak were very small. We didnt have breakfast as we'd heard from other guests that it was expensive for the content.

The staff where very efficient and professional is

The room was very nice and comfortable and well furnished. Was slightly disappointed with the fine dining experience as the meal was not of the quality anticipated. The ingredients were good but my salmon starter was swamped with horseradish cream, and although the hake for the main course was cooked faultlessly, the broth on which it sat and the broth ingredients were barely lukewarm. My partner’s soup course was too hot to consume, and remained so for quite a long time. Also the table was made of plank type construction and there was very evident crumbs and detritus from various usage within one of the gaps. Would suggest it is vacuumed out and perhaps the gap filled in.

Clean, quiet and close to the town centre. We had to queue to check in, one receptionist on duty and three couples waiting. The bedroom was clean and well presented, the bed comfortable but the pillows hard but that’s a personal preference. No streaming on the TV, ie, no Netflix or other media channels. Bathroom was fine, lose toilet seat and the floor tiles cracked. I think this is a result of trying to tile over an old wooden floor. Car parking was available but the entrance is extremely narrow, it is an original coach entrance so not surprising. Breakfast very expensive, we could eat in town at half the price.

There was dust on wardrobe and woodwork around the room and the lead of the table lamp, there were also bits on the carpet - attention to detail was lacking.

Historic hotel with great character. However bedroom faced the main street and was very noisy after midnight with groups of young people shouting abusive comments to each other and others. Appreciate the hotel itself can't prevent this but maybe get together with neighbouring properties to tackle the issue?

Wonderful old black and white hotel with excellent restaurant. Exceeded expectations for a 3 star hotel with a town centre location.

Lovely hotel, full of charm and character.

Beautiful hotel, comfy beds, large rooms, bath and shower was amazing! Mini fridge was well stocked with crisps,chocolate bars and a variety of drinks/water Nice variety of hot drinks and biscuits too! Would stay again

The history and the lovely young staff members working there.

Its a lovely old property and in an excellent location in the centre of Ludlow. Our room was at the front of the hotel and the street was very noisy from early in the morning. The room was hot but because of the street noise we didn't want to open the window. The duvet was a winter weight one which was far too hot for mid summer. There was a big step down into the bathroom which could be very difficult for some people. The staff were generally very helpful. Parking at £7.50 per 24 hours for paying guests was unreasonable. Drinks prices were higher than anywhere else nearby. Overall not good value for money.

Had a lovely weekend stay at The Feathers. Food in the Restaurant is definitely a recommendation. We ate lunch on the Saturday and Sunday lunch. Staff were attentive and resolved any issues.

Already done

Staying one night only. Room was small but very comfortable and clean. Tea/coffee facilities in room (no fridge) were fine. Have stayed before, in the same room, and will happily visit again. Perfect location for town and Assembly Halls. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Lovely Old Hotel

Great place for an overnight stay - the food options in the evening were excellent (particularly the tapas!)

Very nice hotel

The hotel overall is decent enough but there’s just a few easy fixes that would make things so much better. What would have been a lovely Sunday lunch was ruined by the most repulsive gravy known to man, no toilet paper in the ladies toilet etc. The staff were all lovely but they could maybe just do with a little extra training. Room was perfectly comfortable and clean. This place has so much potential, just needs a little TLC.
