The Feathers Inn, Ware

Here at the Feathers we have one main aim and that is to ensure that you have a completely relaxed stay, whether it be business or leisure.
The Inn, originally a 17th century coaching inn, is situated in the pretty Hertfordshire village of Wadesmill. Back in the early 1600's the inn was called The Princes Arms' and had been owned by various blacksmiths and tanners.

In 1615 Ralph Osbertson purchased the inn and later, in 1670, allowed his son to change the name to 'The Feathers'. It subsequently became one of the busiest coaching inns in the area, stabling over 100 horses. Documents of the period mention five bedrooms, a step parlour, moon parlour, lion parlour and various other rooms. Today you'll find the inn with its convivial atmosphere and ivy clad walls, a perfect mix of beautifully conserved buildings combined with modern facilities that will make your stay totally memorable.

Open throughout the year, 'The Feathers' just off the main A10 London to Cambridge Road within easy reach of both the M25 and M11 motorways.

So whether you are looking for a relaxing break or a refreshing alternative to the run of the mill accommodation offered to business travellers. 'The Feathers' fits the bill perfectly.
