This was a beautiful property. Unfortunately we arrived very late and didn’t get to spend any daylight hours enjoying to grounds so it was a bit of a waste to us. The restaurant was closed which we were not aware of when we booked. Lovely place if you are planning to use the grounds and enjoy the property .

Very bad experience. It's not a 4 starts hotel, it's just an overpriced AirBnB, no breakfast, no services at all. Also rude staff who didn't provide any info about the property and surroundings. The check-in consisted in a rude woman who handed the key, rushed us into the room and left. They didn't even provide the wifi password. This is not the way to treat guests. To avoid at all costs, despite the beautiful location.

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.

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.

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.

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

Our stopover at The Falcon Hotel was exemplary!. The room was immaculate, clean, comfortable & peaceful with high quality toiletries & facilities to make hot drinks. The dining experience was a complete experience of exceptional tasting food as was the breakfast tasting menu. We would definitely return to the hotel and try some of the activities on offer there.
