According to the New York Times, The Feathers Hotel is "the most handsome inn in the world."
According to other sources, it's one of the most haunted buildings in the U.K.
The building was constructed in 1619 as a private residence (and what a residence!) by local attorney Rees Jones. After the English Civil War, Jones' son Thomas had it converted to an inn. In 1863, The Feathers Inn became The Feathers Hotel - ghosts and all.
- In one room, a man wearing old-fashioned clothing is seen sitting in the window, a dog at his feet.
- An employee, when cleaning a lounge late at night, would hear his named called. He was the only staff member working, each time.
- Footsteps have been heard in the Prince Charles Suite.
- A couple who stayed in Room 212 were unable to remain in the room. The husband left after three hours; the two never said what had happened, but another woman claimed that King Henry VIII was there.
- A woman was pulled out of her bed, by her hair, in the middle of the night. Her husband merely felt someone stroking his face.
- The man with the dog has been seen walking through one of the rooms (in an extension to the hotel, built in the 1950s) and disappearing through the wall.
- A woman has been seen outside the hotel, crossing the street and walking through a parked car. In this case, it is believed that the apparition is that of a living woman - she is wearing the clothing of the 1960s - and that the woman in question is well aware of the appearances.
