Guest Blogger August 2017

Travel Talk

The Feathers, Woodstock This prize draw is now closed.

This month our guest blogger will have the opportunity to stay for two nights midweek at AA 4 Star The Feathers in the centre of Woodstock. Situated in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds and within walking distance of magnificent Blenheim Palace, this is a wonderful hotel in a small, bustling country town. Woodstock High Street is full of interesting, unique galleries and shops, along with many teashops and specialist eateries. And the town has an exciting calendar of events and local museums too.

For foodies – The Feathers has a wonderful kitchen, with AA 2 Rosettes, with menus devised by Dominic Chapman, a Great British Menu regular who is loved for his traditional food with a modern twist. Our reviewer (who may also bring a partner if they wish) will receive a complimentary meal one evening, in order to truly taste and consider the fine fare. The Gin Bar has over 450 gins on offer and there’s an ‘AA Notable’ Wine List, not to be sniffed at!
