Falcondale Hotel, Harford Suite

Exceptional staff, beautiful hotel and stunning location. We first visited the Falcondale in May 2023, I was looking for a dog friendly hotel in close proximity to a wedding venue (a private house) we wanted to view. What was meant to be a simple place to rest our head very quickly became our dream wedding location. We had never stayed anywhere else where the staff were so friendly and where ‘dog friendly’ means so much more than simply allowing dogs to stay. Up to and including our wedding we stayed 4 times and every time was consistently excellent. Our wedding was amazing, everything we dreamt of. We mostly recently stayed over NYE and that was just as fantastic. The food for the NYE gala dinner in particular was excellent. We cannot thank Hannah, Matthew and the rest of the team enough, you always go above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Our dog is absolutely spoilt rotten with dog dinners and lots of attention, Matthew personally ensures Oreos dietary requirements are met and that his food is served timely :D The new owners are very friendly and take the time to introduce themselves and show genuine interest. Thank you to everyone at the Falcondale, we cannot wait to return. Kelly, Anthony and Oreo

A lovely hotel but needs some updating - but the new owners are working hard to get this done, especially to the ancient plumbing system. The food was excellent, with an excellent breakfast menu and a good choice of great food on the evening menus. To say that the hotel is 'dog friendly' is a bit of an understatement; all the staff seem to love dogs. In the dog friendly bedrooms, they provide blankets, a dog bed, bowls and treats and there are some great places to walk the dogs in the hotel grounds. It's just a shame that the woodland walks were closed due to the devastating effects of the recent storm, which felled hundreds of trees that will take some time to clear and make the walks safe. When you make a reservation for dinner, it's the first time that I've heard the phrase "will your dogs be joining you for dinner?" and if the answer is 'yes' you get a table in the lovely conservatory, with a dog water bowl and a blanket waiting for you (they don't want the dog to get cold lying on a stone floor). If you're a dog lover, this place is simply outstanding! All the staff were exceptional and friendly; they couldn't do enough for you to make your stay as nice as possible. When there was a problem they bent over backwards to solve it immediately and we give special thanks to the General Manager who really went above and beyond. We will definitely be back!
