A really great meal. The food was original, interesting and just generally fantastic. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in the local area. Also a very good wine list. Some dishes may appear small at first glance, but they all have little extra's that meant myself and my dining partner were happily full by the end.

The restaurant, staff and food were absolutely fabulous. I would highly recommend eating at this restaurant. We stayed in the hotel and it made a perfect end to our stay. Breakfast in the Next is also amazing. Well done to the management, chef and staff. We will definitely be coming back.

Lovely dining room and menu choices. Food took ages to appear and steak was lukewarm. Would describe service as efficient verging on officious, somewhat patronising. There was a trainee with the main waiter which was fine but the main waiter was loud, authoritative and created an obnoxious vibe in the calm dining room.

Thank you for your review! All feedback is valuable and your comments will be taken onboard. We do hope you'll give us another chance to provide a better experience next time. Best Regards, Gemma

First trip back to the Feathers since the refurb - feels like the hotel has really got its mojo - back to its heyday - with a modern vibe. The Nest has a new persona and it works - great food in a sophisticated but not pretentious ambience

The bar area was lovely and we had a lovely cocktail. Staff were very good. Unfortunately my food did not come as stated on the menu. I had a salad and it didn’t come with mint or pomegranate so it was disappointing to pay £24 for a salad without two of the listed ingredients.
The Nest at The Feathers HotelResponded on May 6, 2025
Thank you for your feedback—we're really glad to hear you enjoyed the bar area, your cocktail, and the service from our team. We're truly sorry to hear that your salad didn’t arrive as described on the menu; that’s certainly not the standard we aim for. Your comments have been shared with the kitchen team so we can ensure more consistency going forward. We do hope you'll give us another chance to provide a better experience next time. Best Regards, Gemma
