Gwesty Feathers Hotel, built in 1815, features 13 hotel rooms, a restaurant, two bars and one of the biggest function rooms in the county.

It underwent a major renovation earlier this year to give this piece of history a new lease of life, keeping the original fabric of the building and all its quirks but now presented in a more welcoming tone.

At The Feathers Hotel they welcome all that wish to visit, whether it be for a lunchtime coffee, honeymoon getaway, business trip, anniversary dinner in the restaurant or to celebrate your wedding.
