The Feathered Nest

The Feathered Nest Inn is one of the Cotswolds’ most charming countryside destinations, combining exceptional dining, boutique accommodation, and breathtaking views. Set in the tiny village of Nether Westcote between Burford and Stow-on-the-Wold, this historic country inn began life more than 350 years ago as a malt house, later evolving into the welcoming village pub and award-winning restaurant it is today.

A warm and relaxed Cotswolds experience

Today, The Feathered Nest offers guests a warm and relaxed Cotswolds experience where outstanding food, attentive service and spectacular scenery come together effortlessly.

Under the guidance of Head Chef James Erasmus and his team, the kitchen champions modern British cooking using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, creating inventive menus that celebrate the best produce from the surrounding countryside. Guests can enjoy lunch or dinner overlooking sweeping valley views, with carefully curated wine lists and tasting menus that elevate the experience even further.
