A quaint hotel in Oxfordshire has been named in The Telegraph's esteemed list: 'Britain’s 30 greatest spring getaways'.

Now the damp and colder months seem to be behind us (we hope) the arrival of spring signals warmer and jollier times.

Beer gardens start to open up, scarfs become obsolete and more importantly, the holiday season starts to look promising.

Booking a getaway in spring will be cheaper than waiting till summer. So if you want to find the perfect spot, consider this jewel in Oxfordshire.

Oxfordshire hotel named:

The Feathered Nest, Oxfordshire

Their review reads: "This Cotswold village pub turned epicurean getaway exudes easy-going charm. Its food is fabulous, whether from the tasting, à la carte or pub menu, with ingredients painstakingly sourced either locally or from top-quality suppliers further afield.

"Owner-manager Adam Taylor has produced a leaflet of staggeringly beautiful walks from the doorstep and is often on hand to welcome guests, pulling pints in the bar and advising on wines from the extensive cellar.

"Almost, but not quite, upstaging the cuisine are the pub’s views over the glorious Evenlode Valley. Come in spring and summer to dine on the generous terrace. Soothingly chic accommodation is offered in four bedrooms and a cottage."
