"Check in was easy; our room was at the far end of the hotel, overlooking the main road. The room was big and bright. Very comfortable bed and sufficient storage for clothing as only there for one night. Fridge in room (inside wardrobe). Large double shower in bathroom. The only issue is that the blinds have been fitted outside of window frame, which leaves a gap and makes viewing outside (and possibly inwards) quite easy. As this is a listed building the windows in the bathroom are sash and not opaque. Good selection of toiletries and towels. Iron, ironing board and hairdryer in wardrobe. Good selection of tea, coffee available in room The main issue was around service. We went downstairs to have cocktails and saw the waitress. She told us to take a seat and she would be with us momentarily. Ten minutes later she arrived, took our order and another 10 minutes before we got our drinks. No further checks to see if we wanted to place another round so had to go looking again. 2nd order did not take as long. In the restaurant for evening meal, we were the only ones seated for 20+ minutes so no atmosphere. We ordered a vegetable side dish that did not come out until we had almost finished our dish. However, food was very well made and good selection. I can recommend the goats cheese bon bons and the duck dish. The 3 choc sample dish for desert was quite rich with the dark chocolate choice. We had drinks afterwards in one of the front rooms and service was a little quicker. Breakfast was good - nice choice on the continental table but the issue we had with the cooked breakfast was not everything that was ordered came out and this was repeated on the opposite table as well. Coffee was exceptionally strong, so stick with tea. We had a afternoon tea included; the options were not explained very well - there were two afternoon choices, but that only became clearer as we placed our order. If you do not finish everything they will box up your leftovers."
Built in 1619 by attorney Rees Jones, The Feathers Hotel was converted into an inn by 1670 and is one of the most well-known Grade I-listed buildings in Ludlow. The ornately half-timbered building features motifs of the Prince of Wales's feathers, from which the hotel gets its name.
Former Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom John Betjeman once described Ludlow as "probably the loveliest town in England". Once a site of frequent clashes between English and Welsh forces, Ludlow has a ruinous 12th-century castle and some of its medieval town walls still survive, as does Broadgate -- one of the seven medieval gates to the town. Head to Ludlow Museum and the castle to learn more about Ludlow's history -- both are less than five minutes walk from The Feathers.
Ludlow also has many fine Georgian buildings, and you can take in excellent views of the Welsh Marches from the top of the tower of St Laurence's Church, also five minutes' walk from the hotel.
The Feathers Hotel received a £2 million refurbishment in 2019, with the bedrooms reopening in December. The Feathers Tea Room provides a selection of freshly baked scones, cakes and savouries prepared using local ingredients, while the Plume@Feathers Restaurantserves more local and seasonal produce alongside their carefully curated wine list. Both the Tea Room and Restaurant have maintained plenty of traditional décor to admire, while being refreshed for the 21st century.
All 42 bedrooms have been refurbished to a high standard. Classic rooms feature an ensuite bathroom, king-size bed and a lounge area.

You will definitely need to get there before check in time (on weekends - cannot comment on mid week bookings) because the car park fills up quickly and on street parking is chargeable. Parking can be quite tight so manoeuvring around the car park - take care. The hotel is directly opposite the Natwest Bank; missed it first drive by due to discreet entry and number of pedestrians walking past. In addition, I would highly recommend ringing before hand to book your table in the restaurant (we could not get the time we wanted on arrival).

I was happy to try out this hotel after its recent refurbishment. I can praise the staff and the food but not the general ambience or our room. The public rooms are beautifully decorated but unless you sat next to the log fire you were cold as there was no heating. This ruined the atmosphere.
Im sure we would have had a better room had we not been on a “deal”. The room was nicely decorated but sadly the facilities were not good. Monogrammed towels, but no wardrobe or any type of clothes hanging space, not even a hook on the back of the door to hang your coat up! A hairdryer, but no mirror in the room to use it with! Had we had a well equipped room, Im sure we would have booked again, without a deal. But this experience in a “ classic”room means our next stay in Ludlow will be at a dufferent hotel.

We had to cancel the booking due to self isolation as we both over 70. We phoned the hotel on 17th March. We would like to defer our booking until later in the year. The hotel said they would be happy to do this and were waiting to hear from Travelzoo. Would you please let me know your policy. I just starred anything so I could continue with review.

Beautiful historic building completely refurbished May 19. V good breakfast but only problem was sorting out the bill which got into a real mess. We queried it (charged twice for the same drinks) but it was only after we left the hotel but not Ludlow, that we returned again to finally agree we had been overcharged by £82 (2 couples). £30 dinner allowance had only been applied to 1 person and not all 4.
It was sorted amicably but we could easily have just paid up and left.
Great hotel- poor bill management.

Excellent Deal. Interesting hotel steeped in history nestling in the medieval town of Ludlow. Room was on the small side and a squeeze to make use of wardrobe but space available utilised to the max with quality furnishings bed linen tea/coffee making facilities and mini fridge, ironing bard etc. Tastefully decorated and luxury comfort, Food was excellent from Breakfast through to Afternoon tea the a la Carte menu in restaurant was fairly limited but food top class. Staff friendly whilst providing a highly polished professional service. Would highly recommend.

Pleased to see that the refurbishment hasn't spoiled any of the historic rooms, and it has brought some rooms into use as cosy lounges. Lots of conscientious staff and a proactive manager(?) keeping them on the ball. Some oddities, such as the very nice breakfast, but if you'd like, e.g., kippers instead of the "full English" it counts as a "Breakfast Enhancement": at £8.95 that's quite a supplement! Surely needs sorting out. Also, you are now charged £5 to park, which is reasonable, but a new thing.
It's a great building, and the bedrooms and bathrooms have been brought up to a high level, and you're in the midst of a fascinating, historic town. Highly recommended.

The Hotel is full of character and has been refurbished to a good standard. However, after speaking to the hotel the day before our arrival the member of staff confirmed our room would have a king sized bed with a small lounge ( the second best room rate) our room was very small with just one chair and we would call it as described on their website as the classic cosy room ideal for 1 adult but could accommodate 2 persons. I queried this with the person I had spoken to and he insisted that he had not advised this over the phone, although I had noted our discussion down he wasn't interested in reading it.

We really had a fantastic time with you and thanks are due to all the staff. The only comment I would make is that we were in room 124 and my wife really missed a mirror in the main room and also we found it strange that there was no hanging space for clothes. This didn't matter to us as we only had casual clothes but if we were going to a wedding we would want to hand dresses and suits somewhere.

Staff were exceptional and gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble (even warming up a pain au chocolate that had gone cold). Food was some of the best we ever had - cooked to perfection, hot and fresh tasting. It was great to hear the barkeep asking me for feedback about my drink so he could look to continue to improve the cocktails he made. The hotel is obviously very old but there is a good balance between the wonderful antiquities around the property and the rooms which are very nicely furnished in a modern style.

I thought the builders had skimped on some of the work in the expensive major refurbishment: doors not closing properly, no doorstops, poor carpentry and scratched paintwork.

The room was nicely refurbished but the heating didn’t work, we had to ask for a stand alone heater, the shower was the latest design but no hot water on the second day of our stay and the tv didn’t work. We also had to get our room cards changed 3 times over our 2 day stay through mal function.
The service in the bar was appalling. We had afternoon tea included in our stay and we were told there was a 25 minute wait which we said was fine, but it arrived 50 minutes later. We waited nearly an hour for a drink despite 3 reminders. We were told there was an issue with staff which quite frankly was an understatement. On the second morning we had to wait nearly an hour for our cooked breakfast, the reason given was that each breakfast was cooked to order. All in all a very disappointing stay.

Brilliant stay. Staff were very helpful. Room was really comfortable and plenty of different places to relax and have a drink down stairs. Hotel is full of character. Afternoon tea was excellent, but evening meal was absolutely exceptional. First class. Will be returning with friends in the new year strongly recommend to others.

In the middle of town easy to pop out to the shops as often as you like. Not noisy in the rooms from roads. Parking was easy and convenient behind the hotel. All things catered for, for a relaxing break.
