The Feathers
A collaboration with Woodstock’s most stylish hotel
A creative collaboration
The Feathers is Woodstock’s most chi-chi hotel, and in 2024 underwent a major renovation. The hotel wanted to showcase local artists, so most of the art you’ll see throughout the hotel is by members of Artists in Woodstock.
All of the work on the gallery wall is for sale, via the artists. Information is available on reception, or you can contact the artist directly, to make a purchase.
You can also enjoy work from the artists elsewhere in the public areas of the hotel. MM Plumm’s work features in The Nest restaurant, Caroline Parkes’ dancing ladies are in the ladies, Gleide Reid’s work features in the first floor hallway, and Katie Lark Ratcliffe’s abstract shimmers in the bar.
“A nattily dressed country nest”
Mr & Mrs Smith describe The Feathers as “a nattily dressed country nest, the Feathers Hotel is an all-welcome abode in the picturesque Oxfordshire town of Woodstock.”
The hotel’s interior design team worked with Caroline Parkes to curate art in the public areas, and to design a gallery wall, which would provide local interest for guests from all around the globe.
The gallery wall
All of the work on the gallery wall is for sale. Prices and details are below. To purchase, please contact the artists directly. To keep the gallery wall looking fabulous for all guests, some work may have to be delivered after a stay at the hotel, rather than taken away on your visit.
Do feel free to pop in and take a look even if you’re not staying. The Feathers serves great food, coffees and cocktails, and everyone is welcome.
