Feathers Hotel

The Midlands & the Marches


A Ledbury landmark, this black-and-white Tudor hotel built in 1564 looms over the main street. Of its 22 rooms, those in the oldest part of the building come with sloping floorboards, painted beams and much more character than rooms in the modern extension. There's an atmospheric wood-panelled restaurant, Quills (mains £13.50 to £28), and an indoor swimming pool.
