Fodor's Expert Review Feathered Nest Inn

A ten-minute drive from Stow-on-the-Wold, this popular gastro-pub is as cozy and comforting as the name would suggest. The food here is exceptional, and the products so local that the staff can usually point to the farm the meat was sourced from, contributing to a generous prix-fixe menu, or, for those who brought their appetites, a superb tasting menu. Within the restaurant, a large bay window and terrace offer up views of the valley below, and attention to detail gives the pub some humorous touches such as the saddle-seated stools. If you decide that you are just too comfortable to move, there are four rooms to extend your stay in.
