Feedback
Guest reviews praise Feathers' warm service, characterful bar and inventive dishes, but note occasional inconsistency in food quality and limited kitchen hours.
I made a reservation for afternoon tea with a friend after seeing positive reviews, but it turned out to be a disappointment. The food was average at best and nothing to write home about. The low point was a scone that was so hard I thought it was plastic. I later realized it must have been microwaved for too long. They replaced it with another one that was only slightly better. The scone is the highlight of an afternoon tea for me, so I was quite disappointed. The true test is whether you would return, and in this case, the answer is a definite no.
We had a wonderful stay at The Feather's Hotel. Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Situated in the charming village of Helmsley, the hotel overlooks the town square. The front bar, with its low beams and Mouseman carvings, exudes character and is a fantastic spot to enjoy a drink and soak up the ambiance of a traditional English pub with accommodation. We would definitely stay here again!
We booked online in advance for 4 however there was a mix up with only 2 reservations, this was quickly resolved and we were seated in the orangery. Our drinks order was taken quickly as was our food order. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food...and found it to be of a high quality both ingredients and presentation. The service was attentive without being overwhelming. A particular mention to the manager from Northern Ireland who was delightful and an asset to the restaurant. We will definitely return the next time we are in Helmsley
Lovely Pub. Had an excellent Sunday lunch 10/05/26, some of the best roast beef that I have ever had, great service, thoroughly recommended.
