Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Super quiet location, rooms were beautifully done and recently refurbished. Very much liked the underfloor heating in the bathroom and super comfy bed. The communal area and restaurant were closed when we visited but there is a fab deli, 2 mins up road and linked to wider Castle Ashby estate. Overall a gem of a hotel and ideal for quiet break to relax and refresh.

A lovely place!

Really pleasant stay after we were tired out from a particularly vigorous wedding. We wished we’d been able to stay longer! You can access the Castle Ashby gardens nearby for free and they’re well worth a visit.

If you want a stay that is relaxing in every way, then The Falcon needs to be on your list of places to stay. Our two night stayover was most delightful. Great room, good food and some lovely walks across the grounds of Castle Ashby. You would not believe that you are only 5 minutes from the main road, and only 10 minutes from the M1.

Excellent restaurant food

location was excellent for a quiet time. food in the restaurant and lounge was excellent. For accommodation, we were located in a cottage which was small and not enough space to walk around for two people. for the price paid for the room, it was the only down point.

Flying high at the Falcon

The hotel is very tastefully decorated and has everything you could possibly need in place to stay. Friendly and helpful staff, good cosy lounges and outside areas with patios and well planted gardens. It has a good bar and options for eating either a la carte or more relaxed options. We had a meal and our breakfast here and the food was to a high standard. Our room was lovely with rich fabrics and a very comfortable bed. The attention to detail was excellent, although the bathroom was small it was perfect in terms of quality of fittings/shower cubicle and also the hand wash/shower gel etc. This is going to be hard to beat, when we do our next hotel stop-over. Well done The Falcon, we hope to be back someday!!

This is a wonderful hotel

I hardly ever leave reviews but I simply had to for this hotel. Everything was so lovely. The staff were fantastic, so helpful, friendly and kind. The furnishings were high quality, in good condition and looked brand new. The breakfast was well worth adding on to our booking. The ingredients are clearly of a high quality and prepared with care. We also appreciated that the staff were able to accommodate us for dinner in the bar even though we did not pre book a space. For anyone thinking of staying in this hotel, the East Wing Lounge had wonderful options for food and drink, so i strongly recommend making a reservation. Walking on the grounds was a nice surprise too. The marmosets were my favourite animals in the menagerie. The flowers were in full bloom, the grounds are well maintained, the kitchen gardens gave me garden envy! I wish i could have purchased some of the chili plants. I have never seen some of the varieties that were growing in the green house. Clearly someone has given a lot of thought into providing little thoughtful touches like umbrellas (make sure you make use of them and not chance it like i did!) and i think there was a boot room where you can borrow some wellington boots too. This hotel is on the pricier side but the level of service and the quality of all the products justified it completely. It was a romantic little getaway and we felt really pampered and relaxed. I hope to come back another time and try the Eyas restaurant and a spa treatment.

Compact 'cosy' room

Stayed here as it was convenient for a wedding we were attending nearby. Check in was smooth and very friendly, and we were shown to our room, on the upper floor, in one of the cottages next to the main building, personally. The room itself was tiny. Described as 'cosy' on the website and this was definitely accurate, however it had everything we needed, including a really comfy bed, coffee pod machine and kettle with tea/coffee/milk and a couple of fresh biscuits, large wall-mounted TV (though I did keep bumping into this on my way to the bathroom), and hairdryer, plus a few things we didn't use including safe, ironing board, radio and fan. The bathroom too was very compact, with nowhere to hang towels. The shower cubicle was a good size though and the toiletries provided were lovely. Breakfast on Sunday was a set menu, with healthy juice shots, granola and plant-based yogurt, sausages, bacon, smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and sourdough toast, plus tea/coffee/fruit juice, all locally sourced and fresh. The Falcon itself, is in the picturesque village of Castle Ashby and guests are able to visit the nearby garden and grounds of Castle Ashby itself with a complimentary pass. We didn't have time to do this but had a wander round the village and a quick peep at the Rural Shopping Yard. The hotel has a focus on wellness and offers various services linked to this, but as we were just having a quick stop-over we didn't look into these. There are a variety of larger room options
