The Feathered Nest Country Inn

A beautiful location in a small village. The views from the restaurant are beautiful. Upon entering the restaurant on a cold November lunchtime we were greeted by the smell and warmth of an open log fire. We were shown to our table which provided us with a wonderful view. We started with warm fresh bread and two types of butter excellent. The main courses were all very well prepared, presented and tasted lovely. While portions may seem a little small, they were more than enough. The menu was different to the “run of the mill” menu for places such as this and it was very well received by all of us. Deserts were all lovely as was the desert wine recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and the service and attention to detail were excellent. It is a beautiful establishment and well worth a visit.

We have been to this lovely inn so many times , loved every visit and personally promoted it to our friends and family as well as taken so many of our friends for meals. we visited recently for my wife's birthday on November 5th . The service was excellent as usual but unfortunately the food standard was definitely not up to the usual standard, so much so I felt the need to contact the inn directly with my disappointment rather than posting an ill gained bad review (as some seem to have done). Upon mailing directly I duly received a prompt reply from Adam to apologise and a free round of drinks were offered on my next return (ha ha ha as if I need a free drink). Surprisingly today 11/11/23 some days after I replied I don't need a free drinks thx and Ill give it another go I received a direct mail from Adam accusing me of posting two bad reviews under another names . I have nothing to hide, my name is Paul and this is my handle under Meseta coffee . So Adam get off my back and don't be so RUDE !!!!! For Anyone reading this I have always had excellent service and superb food from this inn and my suspicion that the chef had changed because the change was so dramatic , consequently I contacted them directly . Yes its expensive , I never questioned this . You only get what you pay for and 99.9% of the time you get value for money

Been many times as live reasinably close. Unfortunately head chef has left and quality does not now equal price point. We loved this restaurant and willing to pay extra but no more. For £32 sunday roast expectation is hih but experience was poor. Basically 50 mins to get main and then warm and now back to what you get at most pubs. The new head chef cannot even cook roast potatos without requiring a steak knife to cut. Lastky the older waitress needs to retire she had a terrible attitude when my wife asked what had changed since visit 2 weeks before as experience had deteriorated. Manager was pleasant and we passed on our thoughts as really keen to see this back to previous standard but for now way overpriced for quality presented.

This restaurant offers excellent meat dishes which are , however, overpriced. The co-served vegetables are of limited quality. One of the waitresses should be briefed what the terms service and politeness mean. PS The formal review will follow

Had a lovely weekend away here, staying bed breakfast and also dining both evenings in the restaurant. The room, staff, views, location and breakfast were wonderful! The quality toiletries, coffee maker in the room, super soft bedding made this feel like a luxurious stay. Our only real gripe was the very long wait for food both nights. I can only imagine they are understaffed in the kitchen? Some of the more expensive items on the menu were not perfect and for the price you’d expect perfection. Example- the venison dish was much too sweet, like dinner with your pudding! Overall a good 4 out of 5. Could easily be a 5 with a sharper service a few menu tweaks.
