17th century Shropshire hotel up for sale


The world famous Feathers Hotel situated in Shropshire's Ludlow, one of England’s most picturesque market towns, has come to market through Christie & Co. A New York Times writer once named it the 'most handsome inn in the world'.

The Feathers, which offers the combination atmosphere of a 17th century coaching inn with the facilities of a modern hotel, has forty bedrooms and is an ideal venue for business meetings, conferences and private dining.

Also included in the sale are four retail units, which are currently rented, as well as a four bedroom residential flat.

Handling the sale, Charles Jones, Christie's Senior Agent - Hotels, Pubs & Restaurants, commented, “The Feathers is widely regarded as ‘the most handsome inn in the world’ and is a fantastic opportunity for an owner operator to purchase their own piece of history in one of England’s prime market towns.

“We expect to see high interest from local, national and international operators who will recognise The Feathers as an exceptional addition to any portfolio. The current owners, who are now looking to retire, who built the business to an exceptional standard over the past 16 years, in which time they have achieved strong occupancy and The Feathers continues to be a destination hotel.”
