Lovely hotel with character. The room was clean and spacious although the bathroom was small but perfectly adequate. All the staff we met were friendly and welcoming, particularly on reception where the girl lent us a book of local walks. We had the 7 course taster menu which was amazing. It was so good we decided to eat there the... More

We stayed for 2 nights as part of a deal purchased through Groupon. Our room was a little disappointing even though it was advertised as a better room, due mainly to the lack of light, very dark furnishings and decor , even though the bathroom was large it was in need of a refurb. We enquired to upgrade from a... More

Dear Diane & James, Thanks for the review, even though you were disappointed with some aspects of your stay, which obviously is disappointing to us. I note that in your profile your travel style is “Nothing but the best” and on check-in you asked for an upgrade to a valley view room, then declined it due to the extra cost.... More

A fabulous hotel, nestled in beautiful countryside and within 30 minutes of the coast. We stayed on a 2 day break from 28-30th April and the Falcondale was a real treat for us in every way... Our dogs were welcomed with dog biscuits & their own bowls which is a lovely touch; our large room (11) was perfect, a huge... More

We have just spent two nights at the Falcondale with our dog who was made very welcome with a blanket and some dog biscuits which we thought was really kind. Unfortunately the weather was not very good so we were not able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings to the full. However we found the hotel comfortable and the food delicious,... More

Thank you "dairycot" for your time in making a review, it is very much appreciated by the whole team here at The Falcondale. We have investigated the issue with the water (which you mentioned on checkout) and believe this has now been resolved. We would agree that Llanerchaeron is a fabulous National Trust property, and would also recommend Dinefwr Park... More

My husband and I recently stayed at the Falcondale for a birthday treat. We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea with scones and biscuits on arrival, the only disappointment was the horrid rainy weather so we couldn't sit outside! In the evening we had the 7-course tasting menu, which was amazing. Each course was beautifully presented and delicious, we were absolutely... More

Just spent a sunny bank holiday at the Falcondale with our two dogs. We were all made extremely welcome, a wonderful hotel in beautiful surroundings with friendly and helpful staff. Superb food - the 7 course taster menu was exceptional (especially the crispy poached eggs which were a real treat!) We will definitely be returning

We had booked in as a team of more than a dozen cyclists on a charity ride, so were exhausted and urgently in need of rest and relaxation: this we certainly achieved in the elegant and beautiful surroundings. The staff were tremendously friendly and welcoming, and the meals and service were excellent. We would definitely return!
